A new sunblock, for the whole family, to add to my enormous collection of bottles, tubes and sticks. To say I am obsessed with sunblock would be an understatement. A friend just had a pre-cancerous spot removed from her nose less than one week ago. Slather it on. Then slather on some more.

It’s actually 4 bottles (2 of each) and it has a pretty good rating on the EWG website, which is why I use it. It’s comparable to California Baby, which we also use and has a good EWG rating, too.
I’ve read the EWG info, and used their site to find sunscreen. However, take the hype on the dangers of sunscreen with a grain of salt, find the safest one you can and use it, it’s better than deadly melanoma.

And I doubt that anyone really needs to spend $85 on two small bottles of sunscreen.
I’m shocked that you haven’t heard of all the cancer risks related to USING sunscreen! I was always that person that slathered the sun screen on my entire family 36 times before we went outside and another 36 times while we were outside etc… Until I came across this website. http://www.ewg.org/2010sunscreen/best-beach-sport-sunscreens/
Carcinogens? Endocrine disorders? Not for my kids! This summer, we covered up and only used it if were were going to be in the sun for many hours. Check it out. Click on the “Find my sunscreen” button.
