Safe Sunscreen for Kids and Adults

This post comes at time when my wife and I were talking and I opened my big mouth and said sunscreens aren’t safe to use and they cause diseases and I’d rather not put that on our kids.  That meant to my wife, “Oh so you’d rather have the kids burn their skin and cause skin cancer?!”  We got into a BIG debate.  I went onto try to prove my point and she tried with hers.  We were like two pit bulls.

Anyhow thankfully the tri-tip on the grill needed attending to!   Okay, I won’t go into the all the details of our conversation, but it was one of those uncomfortable ones.  You may know what I mean if you’ve had those with your spouse.

From what I have learned, it’s more than just the sun causing cancer, it’s acidity in the body which can cause skin cancer and lack of nutrition.  So for me, I’d rather go without the sunscreen.

You can read on almost any site about unsafe sunscreen.

“Environmental Working Group finds, out of 783 sunscreen products only 16% of them are safe, block both UVA and UVB radiation, remain stable under the sun. FDA regulations are either a minimum or non-existent.

New study finds a host of suspect ingredients in popular sun lotions.

Only 16% of sunscreens on the market are both safe and effective, according to a new analysis by the Environmental Working Group.”

That lead me on a quest to find a sunscreen you would know is safe to be putting on an infant.  Chemical toxin free!

It’s called Kabana Green Screen (R)

Green Screen® Organic SPF 20 Sunscreen ONLY contains the following 8 organic and natural edible-grade ingredients:

1. Eldorado Springs Artesian Water – Eldorado Springs Artesian Spring Water is used in Kabana’s formula because it is one of the purest natural water sources in the world. Kabana doesn’t use deionized or distilled water like most skin care companies because we recognize the importance of maintaining an ionic balance similar to the fluids of your body.

2. Shea Butter – All Shea Butter is inherently wild crafted organic because as yet the Karité tree, from which the shea nut is produced, cannot be cultivated. Unlike synthetic skin care chemicals that have been used on people only for decades and compose the majority of all mass marketed skin care products, Shea Butter has been used by humans to protect their skin and in their diets for thousands of years.

3. Lanolin - Humans have known about the skin healing effects of Lanolin for millennia, however this knowledge was originally primarily limited to shepherds who regularly handled sheep and wool.

4. Mango Butter – Mango butter is yet another tropical butter that has a similar composition to Shea and Cocoa, however the fatty acid content profile is slightly different and enhances the spectrum of natural EFAs, antioxidants and vitamins that Kabana products offer.

5. Cocoa Butter – It’s an excellent emollient that actively moisturizes skin by sealing and protecting it. It contains various vitamins, essential fatty acids and antioxidants that further protect the skin, particularly when exposed to sunlight, which is one of the reasons it is often found in sun care products.

6. Zinc Oxide – Zinc Oxide is the safest broad spectrum and effective mineral sunscreen active ingredient on Earth. Although approved by FDA for use in sunscreens to only 25%, the Sinc Oxide is approved for use in diaper rash creams to 50%, which illustrates its safety, since inflamed babies’ bottoms are perhaps the most sensitive human skin on the planet.

7. Essential Oils – All the Essential oils used in Kabana products have been extracted from botanical sources by processes that use no petroleum oil or solvents, so as to eliminate the chances of residual contamination.  Such as Extra Virgin Olive oil.

8. Certified Organic Golden Jojoba Oil – a Spanish word pronounced “hohoba,” is quite a different emollient compared to the other butters used in Kabana products. Instead of being composed of fatty acids and triglycerides like the tropical butters, jojoba is a liquid wax composed of long chain esters. Its structure is more similar to lanolin.

You really have to check out Kabana Green Screen (R) , it will protect you, not slowly get you sick with the other ones out in the market.

Stay alert, be vigilant, always make sure and check your sources.  Sometimes even the best intentions can steer you wrong.

Have blessed day!
