Sunscreen and Toothpaste

Hi ladies,

I am getting ready to buy sunscreen and toothpaste for my daughter (2 1/2) and I was wondering if you give me some suggestions on these items? I am slowly weeding out non-eco products. 

Thanks a bunch!

  • Oh and while I am here, what kind of toothbrushes to your LO's use?
  • We use Badger Organic Unscented Sunscreen, Tom's of Main Kids Toothpaste & Preserve Junior Toothbrushes!

    How do you like the consistency of Badger? We used it last year and it was hard to apply (very thick) and greasy. I heard they changed some things though...

  • Hi, Iffer! ::waves::

    Well hello pretty lady! =D

    Awesome. Spray sunscreen is awesome so I will definitely be checking that out! 

  • Badger is a bit thick but we use it every day before we go outside and I must rub it in a lot as it doesn't leave a film on my LO!

  • I use Ava Anderson's sunscreen (and also bugspray) - absolutely non-toxic, made with NON-nanoparticle zinc oxide (which is MUCH safer than regular zinc oxide), and it offers broad (UVA/UVB) spectrum protection, and it rubs in! You really have to look at the ingredients in the different products out there -- I used to use blue lizard, which I thought was one of the best and safest, but my research led me to the Ava Anderson brand. Check out how even the "safe" brands stack up at www.ewg.org

  • We use Branam xylitol toothpaste. I've found switching to an SLS-free toothpaste has cleared up the persistent eczema. I also like that it doesn't have glycerin (both of which re in Tom's).   I use the cheapo toothbrushes, but am looking into buying bamboo ones. 
  • We use Toms toothpaste and I am looking at either Badger's or California Baby for sunscreen this year. We are also slowing making the change to more eco-friendly products in our home.

  • Thanks everyone!

    The Ava one looks really good! Very natural.

    I may try the Badger one again too and see if their new formula is different.
