Safer Sunscreen for Your Family

By Jennifer Anderson, Beautycounter Consultant May 2, 2017

As the warmer, sunnier weather approaches we, as parents, often begin thinking about our choices for sunscreen. This used to be one of my biggest frustrations. I knew there were ingredients in certain sunscreens that I want to avoid. I knew how to look up different products on EWG.org but I often found that the safer products didn't work or didn't rub in well. This typically left me battling my kids to apply sunscreen or worse, not applying it often enough because it was so dreadful of a process. I was thrilled and relieved to discover the sunscreen products from Beautycounter. The Protect All Over Sunscreen, with an SPF of 30, rubbed in so well (no white, pasty look or feel) and had a light, fresh scent. I was hooked and so thrilled to have a safer sunscreen product that actually worked. If you've been looking for a safer alternative that actually works, read on for more information. 

Beautycounter offers several products with SPF including:

Protect All Over Sunscreen (SPF 30) - A best seller, free gift with purchase for a very limited time, rubs in well and water resistant up to 40 minutes

Protect Sunscreen Stick Body (SPF 30) - Water resistant up to 80 minutes and great for application on the body for your whole family - my kids now prefer to use the two sticks (Body and Face) due to the ease of application

Protect Sunscreen Stick Face (SPF 30) - This is great for faces and for kids, super easy to apply and water resistant up to 80 minutes,. It's also a perfect size to keep in a diaper bag, purse or sports bag for on-the-go use

Protect Lip Balm (SPF 15) 

Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer (SPF 20) - Tinted daily moisturizer, great for daily use (all year round).

When researching your sunscreen products, take a moment to look them up on EWG.org to see how they rate and to learn a bit more about each ingredient. If you have not yet, I challenge you to look up one of your current sunscreen products to see how it rates (don't worry, many of my previous products rated around 7!). You'll find a rating and a listing of ingredients and ingredient safety ratings (if the company has disclosed them). You can also download the mobile app to help in your quest for a safer summer.
