Spring is Time for Sunscreen

Spring is around the corner, it is time to get outside! Kids should be protected with good quality sunscreen, with both UVA and UVB protection.

The Environmental Working Group released a great guide for safe sunscreen products. According to the guide, the following are the ingredients to avoid:
  • Oxybenzone - In sunlight, can produce allergy- and cancer-causing chemicals
  • DMDM Hydantoin - Allergen and irritant that can form cancer-causing contaminants
  • Triethanolamine - Allergen and irritant that can form cancer-causing contaminants
