Don't Get Burned

I received a newsletter today from Seventh Generation. It had a lot of great information in it, however, one article stuck out. It was the article about sun exposure. I wanted to post it since I just posted about sunblock. There were some facts in the article that I did not know. Maybe I knew this but just never thought about it, but sun exposure is cumulative, just because you take a break from the sun does not mean you start over! Take a look at this article, not just for baby, but for you too! Browse the entire website if you have time, it has a lot of great information about a lot of stuff.

Baby Blanket Sunscreen

I have recently been testing out different sunscreens and came across Baby Blanket Suncare products. I normally use natural products when it comes to sunscreen, such as California Baby or Jason's Earths Best. However, sometimes those are not always available! Especially in a pinch.

I really like the Baby Blanket Sunblock Lotion!
Baby Blanket® SPF 50+ is specially formulated with a natural UV blocker, for babies and adults with skin sensitive to sunburn. It's dermatologist tested to be non -stinging, hypoallergenic, non-irritating and water resistant. Baby Blanket ® 50+ is waterproof and keeps working for up to 80 minutes in the water.

They also have a Baby Blanket Sunscreen Stick. This works great for those extra sensitive spots such as the nose, cheeks, ears and forehead! This is also dermatologist tested to be non-stinging, hypoallergenic, non-irritating, waterproof and paba-free.

Another item worth mentioning is the best idea in sunscreen! It is the Tender Scalps Sunscreen. Your baby's scalp will be protected with this specially formulated alcohol-free spray. The convenient spray keeps you from having to try and rub lotion onto your babies head (all that hair gets in the way!) It is also dermatologist tested to be non-stinging, hypoallergenic, non-irritating, paba-free and water-resistant.

They do have a Cherry Lip Block SPF 30, that is supposed to be formulated for kids. It is paba-free, hypoallergenic and contains aloe vera & vitamin E. However, it tastes awful! Kids are always licking their lips. Protecting their little lips are definitely important, but I would find something that tastes a little better.

The Baby Blanket Suncare website has some other great products, so make sure to check it out! They have a lot of convenience products too, single use packages of sunscreen. You can purchase everything directly from their website.

Here are some tips on being AWARE of the what to do when it comes to protecting you and your baby from the sun!
