Thanks for your post! I agree that especially for kids it's really important to use chemical-free sunscreens. There are lots of chemical-free, mineral based sunscreens out there. One of my favorites is Jason's Sunbrellas-- Green Healthy Baby has them all on sale, and I got a coupon for an extra 10% with coupon code "Mom10". www.greenhealthybaby.com

I am concerned that so many mothers on this site seem to think that because it is man-made or not organic, it must NOT be safe. Sorry!

To Anonymous...yes organic does not always mean safe, but neither does man-made. It is a lot more likely for something man made to be unsafe, even in a small dose. At the same time a lot of organic compounds can be toxic in large doses. That is why there is Skin Deep, at least they have the skin care products covered.

I am concerned that so many mothers on this site seem to think that because it is man-made or not organic, it must be safe. In reality, that is not the case. Many of the man-made compounds you desecrate on this site are virtually identical to compounds you have in your body right now. Also, there is no reg defining what organic means, therefore, many of the products you see in the store labelled

Peta, thank you for your comment! No need to be so hostile though. I had absolutely no intention of sounding like a doctor, sorry if you thought of it that way. As for Neutrogena, you can check out the ingredients and what they do for yourself: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/special/sunscreens2008/findyoursunscreen.php?&sunscreens=1&brand_id=434&&start=10

Your body needs 10 minutes in the sun to get all the Vit D it needs. Stop scaring people into never using sunscreen. There are plenty of good quality ones, like Neutrogena out there that are more than acceptable. Too often I have seen parents do really stupid things like not put sunscreen on their kids. What about telling people to ear a hat!!!! The link between sun exposure in childhood and

How do you feel about nanoparticles? I've been using Badger, but just ordered Soleo (backordered) and tried to stock up on some European organic brands that are not being made anymore b/c of new EU reg's! I got there too late though, so I am hoping we like Soleo since it does not contain nano-particles.

This is a great article! Thank you for sharing. About a year ago, my husband and I started buying products that are safe for our family from on online store called Melaleuca (www.Melaleuca.com/ps). They have everything from household cleaners to bath & body items to skin care to pharmaceutical items to vitamins & dietary supplements. This company has been "green" since they
