Natural Beauty Inside Out
A few weeks ago, I received the Baby Blanklet Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Stick with SPF 45+ from Baby Blanklet Suncare and have been happily applying it on my son. He hates sunscreen but he loves this and calls it glue! So it makes it real easy for application because he doesn’t resist. Plus it helps that this is a non-sticky and non-greasy formula. In fact, I rather like it for myself especially since I love sunscreen sticks in general because I find them handy and convenient.
This week, I received a newsletter from Marie-Veronique Organics with information about how the introduction of a standardized logo for UVA protection in addition to the SPF rating under the new European regulation would affect their products. According to the company, sunscreen labels in compliance with the new EU regulations could look like this:
Brand X Sunsreen
SPF 30 UVB protection
***** UVA protection
(5 stars would indicate maximum UVA protection)
I’m re-posting this because I just realized that I missed out UV Natural Sunscreen earlier! So instead of six, it’s now seven of the mineral sunscreens tried and tested by Viva Woman. Most of these natural physical sunblockers, have at one point of time, been ranked as the top 10 sunscreens on the EWG list. However, the rankings at EWG keeps changing and as of now, they’re within the top 27 out of 129 recommended.
Because I wanted to enjoy the free domestic shipping, I ordered the Marie-Veronique Organics Creme de Jour with SPF30 recently too. Since I really like the Marie-Veronique Organics Creme de Soleil, I figure out that their Creme de Jour isn’t going to be too far off given that their formulations seem quite similar. In addition, Creme de Jour is the best selling item at Marie-Veronique plus it is ranked six on the current list of safe sunscreens at Environmental Working Group.
