Organic Sunscreen

With all the information regarding the questionable safety of sunscreens ... for example: http://www.draxe.com/75-of-sunscreens-are-toxic-what-to-do-instead/ I decided I didn't want to cover my body with toxins and chemicals known to cause skin cancer and other cancers.  Hey it makes sense ... why do we put chemicals on our body to be absorbed into our skin thus into our systems?  Sooooo... I did a little online research of my own, reading ingredients, claims, reviews and the like and found this product on amazon.com.  It was a little pricey but the average review had 5 stars (the highest rating) and its claims that it didn't leave a white film or stickiness on the skin sold me.  

It smells amazing and good enough to eat ... and you probably could (though I wouldn't advise it) ... some of the ingredients include Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, Jojoba, Almond, Green Tea.

I used it this past week at our family beach vacation in Seagrove Beach, FL ... it was awesome!  I didn't burn as long as I reapplied it every couple hours (as it advises) and it made my skin feel so soft.  And true to its claims ... a little goes a long way!  It only took the size of a dime to cover an entire arm!  Also, true to its claims ... it completely absorbs into your skin immediately.  A few family members tried it and loved it as well ~ all were in awe of its wonderful smell!  

Just so ya'll know ... I am NOT getting paid to say this.  This is a product I've tried and want to share my opinion.  I will definitely buy it again!
