Sunscreen is one of those tricky personal care items that you really should research before purchasing. TONS of big named brand sunscreens contain chemicals that are known to cause cancer, so it’s ironic people use them as a cancer preventatives. Finding a good, safe, organic sunscreen is very important for children and babies. It is seriously worth the extra money! Badgers Baby Sunscreen is actually reasonably priced at $15.99 for 2.9 ozs. Last year, I paid $30 for my daughters. We’ve had our for a little over a month and still have a decent amount left. We also go to the pool 1-3 times a week.

I’ve been really happy with the Badgers Sunscreen for little man! We’ve had no sunburns or redness after 4 hours in the sun, no rashes, no hives, not even bumps! His skin has remained silky smooth! I forgot our Badgers one day at the pool and we used something else. Within 1 hour he was slightly pink, so I’ve made sure to always have the Badgers Sunscreen on hand!
Badgers also makes a Baby Sunscreen Lotion that is not water resistant. This is great for going to the park, hiking, or any other time you are out in the sun without going in the water. The sunscreen lotion is safe, chemical-free, broad spectrum protection from UVA & UVB using the mineral zinc oxide.We have only used this a couple of times and I love how easy it applies.

So I have to admit, that I’ve been forgetting to apply my own sunscreen. By the time I get both kids lathered up, they are ready for the pool and I forget my own. And I’ve been guilty several times for forgetting to reapply to E. So we’ve come home pink more this summer than we have in the past 6 years. (I think I finally have it down now- but it took a month!) I was very happy to have the Badger After Sun Balm waiting for us at home to help soothe our sun-kissed skin.
After Sun Balm is made with rich Cocoa and Shea Butters, which not only smelly yummy, they are yummy for your skin. Sun, wind, salt, and sand all take a toll on skin, and After Sun Balm helps to restore the balance. Lavender and Moroccan Blue Tansy oils contribute to the delightful tropical scent and have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe, cool, and relieve your dry, tight skin after sun exposure. This beats totally beats regular ole aloe! You can get a 2 oz can for $9.99.
I have very dry hair which allows me to go 1-2 weeks without washing. When I have to wash chlorine out of my hair once or twice a week, it makes my hair even drier. With the help ofBadger Argan Hair Oil, this summer has been so much gentler on my hair! Argan Oil helps repair damaged hair, smooth split ends, and it reestablishes a healthy balance while protecting hair from heat, chemicals, and UV damage. Argan Oil is rich in vitamins, proteins, and essential fatty acids, which strengthen and soften hair at the same time.
