As a pale mom to two pale boys, my biggest concern when summertime comes around is the sun! Whether it’s playing at the park or relaxing at the splash pad, I always want to make sure my boys are protected from head to toe and knowing that Jack will NEVER keep a hat on certainly doesn’t help! Having to apply sunscreen so often and rubbing it directly into their skin, I began to get concerned about how many extra chemicals they’d be exposed to just because we were trying to protect them from the sun!
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to review the line of Green Babies skincare products. One of those products was their new SPF 30 sunscreen! Made with natural ingredients, the unscented version is made with pomegranate seed oil and the lightly scented uses tangerine essential oil. According to Green Babies, the ingredients in each are as follows:
