Searching for a new sunscreen


I have the sneaking suspicion that my tiniest monkey has an allergy to our sunscreen.  We usually use Banana Boat babies.  Does anyone have any recommendations for some more natural or organic sunscreen?  We are outside an awful lot so going without sunscreen is not an option.  When she is in our pool, she has a canopy over her but It definitely isn't enough protection from those harmful rays.  I thank you in advance for any and all suggestions!!!

HI. It's Jeannie. I love your blog, I have often thought of doing it b/c I have always been so far from loved ones. I'm not brave enough! Good for you! xox

I have a hard time with sunscreen myself and was actually wearing baby sunscreen as I thought it would have less chemicals. But, I learned the hard way that baby sunblock usually isn't waterproof! I get little bumps or a sun rash. Alba Organics has a mineral sunscreen that I've been liking. It is thick at first but rubs in. Izzy uses California Baby b/c of her allergies. Good luck!
