New Neutrogena Baby sunscreen... safe?

[girlygirls3]

Hi...

Just wondering if anyone has looked into the new Neutrogena Baby sunblock... it's in a pink container... and says it's all natural... but I could figure out about 2 of the products on the packaging... and am wondering if anyone knows about the safety of it?

thanks

I haven't seen that particular sunscreen, but this is a great resource for looking up most skin care products http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/index.php?nothanks=1

keep in mind that the FDA doesn't regulate most claims. The term 'all natural" actually has no real meaning. Also, some products put the word organic in the name, but then have long list of chemicals in their ingredients. The only thing that matters is the ingredient list.

I wouldn't use it...

looked up the ingredients:
Alumina , Arachidyl Alcohol , Arachidyl Glucoside , Ascorbic Acid , Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract , Beeswax , Behenyl Alcohol , Benzyl Alcohol , BHT , Bisabolol , Butylene Glycol , Butyloctyl Salicylate , Cetyl Dimethicone , Dimethicone , Dimethicone PEG-8 Laurate , Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate , Disodium EDTA , Ethylhexylglycerin , Glycerin , Glyceryl Stearate , Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer , Isohexadecane , Methicone , Methylisothiazolinone , Pantothenic Acid , PEG-100 Stearate , PEG-8 , Polyaminopropyl Biguanide , Polyhydroxystearic Acid , Polymethyl Methacrylate , Polysorbate 60 , Potassium Sorbate , Retinyl Palmitate , Silica , Stearic Acid , Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer , Tocopheryl Acetate , Triethoxycaprylylsilane , Trimethylsiloxysilicate , Trisiloxane , Water , Xanthan Gum (1321-178)

Anything with a number is basically not doing you any favors and is synthetic. Potassium Sorbate- preservative. Disodium EDTA- yucky.

Try Badger Balm sunscreen. Don't think its any more expensive, and it was rated number one out of like 900 products by the environmental working group last year. There are only a few ingredients and none of them are synthetic, and the preservatives are natural (essential oils).

We love it.

It's so funny that you said Badger... because that's what I bought last year for the girls We still have some, I was just hoping for something a little more accessible. I also love California Baby, but it seems very hard to find (or at least did last year) around mid-summer

Thanks!

I just bought this for my baby. I have California Baby sunscreen but when I put that on her, she got sunburned. The California Baby works great for me and dd1 but it didn't cut it for the baby. So I bought the neutrogena since it is SPF60 and the California Baby and the Badger don't come any higher than SPF30. She hasn't burned since we switched.
