Babies, like all of us, love being outdoors. For both your own sense of well-being and your baby’s, you will want to have the right protection for different kinds of weather. For This Summer season, I am sure you will want to spend more quality time with your baby or child in the park if not on the beach. This summer try to take your child outdoor more so they can enjoy the fresh air, soothing wind and warm sunshine. The sun gives life to everything on earth including the essential Vitamin D for your baby or child to grow. The sunshine we get these days comes with a cost, skin cancer, if we don’t properly protect ourselves from getting too much exposure to it. Having said that using sunscreen whenever one is exposed to the sun is important. You can easily find brands of sunscreens in the market but most if not all of them come with chemical contents that might cause health issue for extensive use of such products. Natural sunscreen that contains no harmful chemical would be the ideal choice for you and your family.
For an infant’s skin is too sensitive for sunscreen and sun exposure. Before your baby is six months old, it is critical for you to use physical, not chemical, barriers to shield your baby’s skin” long-sleeved lightweight clothing and hats with brims and flaps over the neck. You will be able to find UV-blocking fabrics on the market, but a thin layer of clothing should be sufficient.
When your baby is old enough and when chemical protection/barriers become an option, you definitely want to choose a best possible natural product for him/her. A good natural sunscreen certainly will be useful at times-in summer, especially at swimming pools, so choose your sunscreen carefully. A non-petroleum-based UVA/UVB-blocking product is your best choice. The importance of choosing a natural sunscreen cannot be underestimated. The main chemical, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), used in most sun lotions to filter out UV rays has been found to be toxic and the severity of this toxic increases tremendously when exposed to sunlight. Studies have also shown that all sunscreen agents penetrate our skin after they are applied to our skin. When selecting a natural sunscreen, make sure you look for Zinc Oxide, these are considered to be the least harmful in terms of absorption.
Here is the study from Loving Naturals,
Zinc Oxide is the only ingredient we have found that effectively provides
superior protection against UVA and UVB and which we feel comfortable using
on our children. Zinc Oxide has a long history of use as a safe sunscreen
agent, skin protectant, and as a treatment for skin disorders. It is also
widely known as the main ingredient in most diaper rash creams and is
considered safe for use on infants and sensitive skin.
A note about Titanium Dioxide:
Many sunscreen companies that consider themselves natural and safe use
titanium dioxide. After doing our own research, we became very uncomfortable
with this ingredient. It is a mineral like zinc oxide, but it is highly
photoreactive, meaning it generates harmful free radicals when it reacts
with light and can even cause a severe burn, worse than if no sunscreen was
used. Irradiated particles of titanium dioxide can cause oxidative damage to
DNA, which can lead to the development of skin cancers.
We are happy that we found a product which is natural and is free of harmful toxic chemicals. The SPF 30+ Sunscreen by “Loving Naturals”, a Company that produce only environmental and organic products, is the best choice. This company cares about the health of its customers as well of the well being of our fragile earth. The SPF 30+ Sunscreen by Loving Naturals is 100% Natural/organic and it works to block off UVA and UVB. All the ingredients are safe to use on babies and even can be beneficial for the baby’s skin. This product is also suitable for all skin type and is water resistant and non-creasy. Just a friendly reminder, you may want to test on a small portion of your baby’s skin to see how it reacts before using it all over in the sun because infant’s skin can be very sensitive and unpredictable.
I was very happy to receive a 60ml sample of the SPF30+ Sunscreen from Loving Naturals. I used it on both my skin and my precious little one’s, the feel was good, it was not greasy at all. I did not get sunburn after being on the beach for more than two hours and my baby was also perfectly protected. I am very happy with the result of this sunscreen and I would recommend everyone who loves the sun to buy and use it. This product is also very gentle that it can be considered a perfect product for your babies or your entire family.
I also want to announce that Loving Naturals is very pleased to offer to one of my readers a 60ml sunscreen, similar to the one we received, as part of its product promotion. Loving Naturals wants you to use its 100% natural and organic product and it feels that if you are happy about the quality of its products, good words will spread quickly and widely in the world wide web.
