I originally talked about beauty products & what your body absorbs in this post. But I don't think I ever specifically talked about sunscreens.
My kids go to summer camp for a few weeks every year. They each need sunscreen. We're lucky to tan easily & by summer's end, my kids are tanned & blond haired. Must be the Indian in us (except that blond part)! We use the Kiss My Face sunscreen sticks. They're reasonably priced, easy to find & super convenient to carry around. We only use it on nose, cheeks & shoulders. And Bubba's neck. I've also used Burt's Bees, but its a big tube & kind of difficult to apply. There's too much leftover at the end of summer, so its a waste for us. But if you only need one tube, this may be a good choice for you.
The gross lists of ingredients in sunscreen sent me screaming for a better alternative when the twins were little. (I never wore sunscreen myself. I know, I know.)

To search the EWG's site: click here. I thought I'd print the (long) list of brands for you to peruse quickly. Definitely check out the links for more detailed info.
Also, did you know that tomatoes naturally raise your body's ability to not burn? So, clearly these are not just delicious, they are beneficial as well!
