Back-to-School with Kid Safe Sunscreen from Marie Veronique Organics

We all think about sunscreen when planning summer activities with our children, but it is important not to overlook sun protection as the school year commences.  You will not be there to apply it, so it usually has to go on during the often hectic time when we are getting our kids ready for school.  Not the time when you want to be dealing with messy slow to dry sprays or lotions.

Marie Veronique Organics has a good sunscreen option available for back to school.  This kid safe sunscreen dries almost immediately.  It also provides instant protection upon application, unlike most sunscreens which take approximately a half an hour to reach full effectiveness.  The small bottle show here would be a useful  inclusion to the backback of any child who is old enough to self apply some screen.  It would also be great for kids who participate in after school outdoor sports.

The SPF is 25+ and this screen provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection.  The only thing I did not care for about this screen was the addition of ylang ylang essential oil.  Although the scent faded pretty quickly, it did give the lotion an unnecessary perfumy quality upon application, so this might be a better choice for girls.
