[Guest guest]

Wow...great info.. Thanks

you might want to check this out as toxins

are in a lot of sunscreen products and you are probably trying to

avoid that like I am. I posted earlier this year about California

Baby for Super Sensitive Skin and we are still using that with good

results. It was pretty good on this testing list and our doctor

recommended it for kids with allergies to lotions. I got this info by

excerpting it from a newsletter from Liddell, a company we use for

some other stuff.

It's a sad day when I have to check every product out that we use ....

===========

Environmental Working Group <http://www.ewg.org/> , has just finished

scientific testing of 783 sunscreens. The results: 84% of these

sunscreens offer inadequate protection from the sun, or contain

ingredients with significant safety concerns.

Find out what's safest and most effective for you, and especially for

your kids' delicate skin. Click here <http://www.liddell.net/

bestsunscreen.asp> to see a list of the best 123 sunscreens that

offer very good sun protection, with ingredients that present minimal

health risks. Then go have fun in the sun!

Note: I was very surprised to learn that brands I trust made some

sunscreens that were on the best list and some that were on the worst

(most toxic) list. So, choosing by brand can be risky. Please look

for your exact sunscreen on the searchable data base (see below).

Another person on another list commented that CA Baby has nanos. I

have to check that out but since I'm stocked up and it doesn't make

my son crazy with allergies, I will have to use it unless we get

ahead a little and I can order something else that our doctor checks

the ingredients on. She is an expert at muscle testing, never wrong,

so I have will have to ask her about the nanos, too. I don't like the

idea of more stuff going into my son as we try to detox. And

yesterday we found out our water has manganese in it, which is

poisonous. Luckily we filter every drop of drinking water through a 5-

stage water filter under the sink, but now we need a whole house

filter. But EWG always has good information and that is the point,

not what I've used, but what I can get good information on.

I am really tired of all this, and I could just scream about our

water, but now I will be researching a whole new subject ....

Whatever happened to just living your life and taking clean air/water/

food for granted, like when I was a kid?

I just discovered Arbonne. They have a baby skin care line, which

includes shampoo and body wash, diaper cream, lotion, and SUNSCREEN!

My son broke out/reacted to every other product we tried. Since I

love it, I signed up to be an " independent consultant " so I can get

it for you at a 35% discount (+tax and shipping) if you're

interested. You can find the product ingredients (all natural/

botanical) online at arbonne.com.

I checked Arbonne on the website posted earlier and found that some

of their products are in the high moderate hazard category. I didn't

see the info for the sunscreen. Do you have extra info on that?

I checked online, and although it does state that the sunscreen is

NOT gluten free, I had trouble locating the source of gluten in the

ingredients list. Can someone take a look via the link, and let me

know which ingredient is gluten. We're probably missing it alot!

I double checked the ewg.org site, and yes some products are in the

moderate category, and many are also in the low category. None are

in the high category. I also didn't see their sunscreen mentioned

there.

I do know that we were to the point of not putting any sunscreen on

our little guy because of serious skin irritation with every product

we tried. We're having no adverse effects with the arbonne sunscreen.
