Hello friends! I am always searching for a new, improved and better version of sunscreen given
the amount of time that my toddler and I spend outside in the searing Arizona sun. Remember, it's a dry heat!

The blog received this sample of Supergoop! spf 30+ faace and body lotion along with the stick that I actually have on my face.

Both products include the ingredients Parsol 1789 and parsol slx, and those are fancy names and terms for a really good sunprotection ingredient. Though I'm a touch old school in this area and love that the stick contains 5% of zinc and that is why you can see the thick white stripes on my cheeks and nose, forehead and chin too! If you remember the lifeguards of the Doris Day time and beach movies, you will have seen their noses covered with a thick lathering of zinc oxide which acts as a barrier. So it looks like Supergoop! combined the goodness of Zinc along with Parsol 1789 to make a great sunscreen.

I'm going out running now ( AZ temp 102!) and will test the sun and sweaty capability of the product.

Some notes about the product: it's a natural product, is geared for sensitive skin, is oil free, fragrance free, paraben free and does not test on animals. So, sounds pretty good? You can get it at Sephora and Giggle stores. (www.giggle.com ...what's a Giggle store?)

Enjoy your summer!
