To answer the question, no I cannot believe summer is already here.  But I am so glad.  It's been a sick winter for us and I am looking forward to fun in the sun.  Well safe fun in the sun anyway.  We all wear sunscreen and hats and reapply after a bit to ensure no burning.  And with kids, you have to make sure you are careful.  Pooltime, beachtime, yardtime - all mean sunburn potenital.

 

So thanks for the reminder and sharing these tips with us.  It's serious business to protect yourself and your loved ones from harm.

 

All the best, sue

Hi! Summer is here, and it's hot outside! I wanted to draw your attention to a new evolution of choice in sunscreens, Soléo Organics All Natural Sunscreen (www.soleousa.com), new in the US this summer from Australia. It's the world's only naturally and organically sourced sunscreen on the planet that uses only micronized zinc oxide (22.3%). It's ingredients are specifically designed to protect and nourish skin, is highly water resistant, won't sting eyes and is also biodegradable. It's been specifically formulated to work on even the most sensitive skin, including pregnant moms and babies.

 

What it doesn't contain are chemical uv absorbers, titanium dioxide, synthetic preservatives, parabens or artificial fragrances. Until now, consumers who wanted a viable alternative to chemical based products had no where to turn, but they do now! Check it out!
