Finding a great natural sunscreen is not as easy as you may think. While you may be willing to fork over more money to avoid the chemicals in conventional sunscreen, you probably want assurance that you’ll be happy with what you buy. So far, in my search to find the best natural sunscreen, Green Beaver Sunscreen Spray is my top pick.
With four young kids, I find myself looking for the right balance between fast application and healthy choices when it comes to sunscreen. If a sunscreen takes 10 minutes per kid to apply, it’s not an option (no matter how great the ingredients). To be brutally honest, I often find myself cringing inside as I spray Coppertone on my kids because I can get the job done fast. And, yes, I know spray sunscreen is not recommended at all (I do make my kids hold their breath). Really, it’s hard when you have four active young kids who don’t want to cover up or stay in the shade on hot days –and who have minimal patience for waiting in line while mom slathers them up. Sunscreen is one of my biggest summertime struggles and somedays the process of “being good” and spending 30 minutes applying the natural stuff to whiney kids makes me want to cry.
Green Beaver Sunscreen Spray is the best natural sunscreen I’ve found
While I don’t use it all the time, I am finding that I am using Green Beaver Sunscreen Spray more often than any other natural sunscreen I’ve tried. Since buying a bottle, I always use it on my youngest as I especially dislike using chemicals on babies/toddlers.
What I like:
- It doesn’t make us look white and pasty in the least!
- Spraying and spreading this sunscreen does not take as long as other natural sunscreens I’ve tried. I estimate that it takes me about 3 minutes per kid to apply, which is pretty good.
- The spray is not aerosolized like Coppertone so my kids don’t need to hold their breaths when I spray them.
- It works. I’ve applied it to my kids on hot sunny days where they have played hard for hours outside. Nobody burned.
My complaints? While the sunscreen claims to be non-greasy, I find that it doesn’t fully live up to this claim. Green Beaver Sunscreen Spray is not as greasy as the Green Beaver lotion-style sunscreen, but it does result is a somewhat slippery toddler.
A 90 mL bottle costs about $20 and I anticipate it would last about one week in hot weather, if I used it exclusively on all four kids.
