We all know how important it is to put sunscreen on our kids, right? Of course. Which is why we look for SPF 9gazillion and reapply it about every 20 seconds. But as I lather my kids up, I sometimes wonder about the chemicals that I’m putting on their delicate little skin. So I was very excited to learn about SmartShield.

Smart Sheild is SPF 30 – yes, you heard me right, 30. Because I found out that SPF 50 provides less than 1% more protection with over twice the amount of chemicals than a lotion with SPF 30. And 1% more sounds like my raise last year is not really very much!

Here are some other fun facts about SmartSheild:
*UVA & UVB protection (FDA doesn’t require UVA blockers)
*Oil-free and PABA free
*hypoallergenic and fragrance free (great for sensitive skin)
*Waterproof, sweatproof, won’t stain clothes
*Aloe Vera based; moisturizes and absorbs into the skin
*Available in convenient spray and towellette forms perfect for travel or
extra swirmy kids!

I was excited to try this because Sammy has eczema, so I am always on the lookout for hypoallergenic products. I had been using another kind specifically for babies, and it didn’t break him out, but it beaded up on his skin almost immediately after application, which made me wonder how much actually stayed on him. SmartShield didn’t do that at all – it rubbed in immediately.

I definitely recommend this stuff! Click here to learn more.
