My sister sent me an article this morning regarding sunscreen. You can read it here.
If you want to quickly access the Environmental Working Group's list of best sunscreens, click here.
I actually learned a lot from the EWG's list. I've always done my best to buy natural sunscreens that would lessen my family's exposure to chemicals through the skin, but I wasn't aware of some of the key ingredients of which to beware (oxybenzone and retinyl palmitate -- a type of Vitamin A). Last year, I started using Goddess Garden sunscreen and am loving it.
Hope this helps you make decisions for your family this summer!

will you fix the link for the list of the best sunscreens? it doesn't work.
thanks!
Isn't it unbelievable how disgusting sunscreen can be? I went through the EWG list for baby sunscreen, and found the cheapest options. If you'd like to see what I found, check out my blog post here:

Great blog! I'm *trying* to go sugar free, and it is OH so hard. Baby steps!
i heard that you could just add zinc oxide powder to lotion. FYI-if you want to research it more.
