Hey Farm Girls!!

SInce I am of Scandinavian heritage and have the typical pale skin, I have to be extremely careful in the sun. I have decided that this year I will only use "non toxic" sunscreen. Any recommendations?

Connie

Melaluca has all natural sun screens. You can find them at www.melaluca.com. The cleaning products are safe and do not use harmful chemicals.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I use something called Solarepel It has no petrochemicals

You can find it in Gemplers.com 4 oz lasts a long time sells for 6.95 plus shipping Contains citrolella and orange oil...also good for bug repellant although the packaging doesn't say so is SPF 25 and spray on

California Baby make an SPF 30 & bug repellent in one that we love. Our whole family uses it. They also have it in the stick for your face but we use it all over. I have some of the stick if you want to try it. BTW it's Nicole P from DFWN! There are also some in the Frontier catalog and I'm sure those on DFWN can recommend a good one as well.

I don't know that much about the "non-toxic-ness" of zinc oxide, but I have read that it's a surface skin protectant, and that you can get it in clear formulas, too. That way, you're not actually absorbing the sunscreen into your skin while wearing it. I use it on myself and my 2-yr-old, and he's never had a rash or anything. Our pediatrician said that it was one of the least harmful or potentially harmful sunscreens around for infants and toddlers - so I started using it myself.

XOXO, Libbie
