Toddler Protection From the Sun and Bugs
Toddler protection from the sun and bugs. Now that the first “unofficial” weekend of summer just passed us by, most of us and our families will be out in the sun a great deal more, especially at the pools and beaches. I wanted to share with you two great products that I have found that are so helpful in protecting my toddler (1 years old and up) from the sun and bugs.
No Mess Sunscreen Wipes
My new summer favorite is the Baby Silk Babysafe Sunscreen Towelettes Sunscreen Spf 30. In my house, we no longer have the
Baby Silk Sunscreen Towelettes
sunscreen battle; my two year old does not mind having sunscreen put on his face anymore. I only need one or two towelettes for full coverage on my two year old. They are not messy and so easy to carry around. They are more expensive than regular sunscreen, but what you are paying for is convenience, no mess and no more fights. Great toddler sun protection.
According to the packaging, the product features are:
- Contains no phthalates, lanolin, mineral oil, petroleum or waxes
- Contains physical sunscreens, titanium and zinc oxide, as the only active ingredients
- Protects against UVA and UVB rays
- Clinically tested & hypoallergenic
- Made in the USA. No animal testing
The Babysilk Babysafe Sunscreen Towelettes Spf 30 are $26.00 for 20 on Amazon.com (does not include taxes, shipping or handling). I would suggest doing price comparison at a couple stores in order to get the best price. This product can be purchased at Amazon.com, Diapers.com, Drugstore.com, etc.
Natural, Chemical Free Bug Repellent
Another new favorite is the non-toxic, non-chemical, non-invasive and non-irritating California Baby Bug Repellant Spray, 6.5 Ounce. The bugs already seem to be out in droves’ this summer and my two year old seems to have very tasty skin. I wanted to
California Baby Bug Repellent
avoid using the DEET chemical; therefore, I chose California Baby products; however, with this product you have to apply very liberally and reapply more often than regular bug repellent. But, I still find this to be one of the best toddler bug protections that are DEET free.
According to California Baby, has your child’s best interest at heart. “A natural alternative to toxic bug repellent chemicals such as DEET. We use only high quality, traditionally recommended bug repellent oils that are gentle and effective. Our natural formula contains pure essential oils like citronella and lemongrass, which are well known for their effective bug repellent properties.”
According to the packaging, the product features are:
- 6 ounce spray
- Smells nice and have natural citronella candle scent
- Non-toxic ,non-chemical, non-invasive and non-irritating
- Vegetable and plant based ingredients
- Safe and gentle
The California Baby Bug Repellant Spray is $17.10 on Amazon.com (does not include taxes, shipping or handling). I would suggest doing price comparison at a couple stores in order to get the best price. This product can be purchased at Amazon.com, Diapers.com, Target.com, Drugstore.com, etc.
I hope you enjoy these two products as much as my toddler and I do. Have a happy, healthy, summer.
