In Focus - Natural Sunscreen For Babies

With an ever increasing focus on natural products, from food, to cleaning products to skin care, these days people are focusing more on the natural alternatives available to them and this is even more prominent with parents wanting the very best toxin free products for their children. This week bubs about town partner Angie, an avid natural product user brings us her favourite sunscreen.

We live in a climate that is harsh on our skin, and if we don’t protect our skin on a daily basis then over time the consequences can be fatal. Luckily these days, we have many more options and choices than ever before and with people becoming increasingly more conscious about taking regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, limiting pollution and adopting a healthier lifestyle, people are trying to look after themselves inside and out.

Eating organic whole foods and avoiding the use of chemical cleaning products is also a positive step in the right direction when combined with a healthy lifestyle, but many people still continue to rub chemicals into their bodies daily. So why do we continue to do this? The skin is the largest organ of the human body and what we choose to apply to it may be readily absorbed potentially causing toxicity build up in the skin tissue over time. We strongly recommend that consumers do their own research on products that they choose to use.

Fortunately, there is a tried and tested alternative sunscreen that is especially kind to babies including the most sensitive skin types along with eczema suffers.

UV Natural - an Icon of Australia provides effective sun protection and only uses naturally sourced ingredients. UV Natural uses Zinc Oxide which is a reflector of both UVA and UVB Rays. Blended with natural oils and extracts that are also known as anti-oxidants, UV Natural helps prevent skin damage, while its natural oils enhance the skin’s texture.

Angie, a bubs about town partner can personally recommend the Baby SPF 30+ Sunscreen as it is easily absorbed, extremely nourishing and does not irritate her 12 month old daughter’s eczema. "I feel that I’m not adding more irritants to her itchy skin condition; instead the natural oils seem to soften and protect her skin in the most natural way possible. I purchased UV Natural at a local health store at a very reasonable price and the rich cream seems to go along way. There are products to suit all of the family and I find that these products are a ‘must’ to try for those who have had trouble with sunscreens in the past, take a look at the Baby SPF 30+ below. "
