Non-Toxic Sunscreen Swaps

Written By Dr. Michelle Parker, DC, DACCP, IBCLC, FIBFN-CND

Did you know that the sunscreen choices you put on your skin and your child’s skin could potentially mess with their hormones if they contain any endocrine disrupting ingredients?

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has suggested for children to avoid chemicals that are potentially harmful, like oxybenzone. It is also advised to avoid this chemical during pregnancy and while a mother is breastfeeding.

So should someone just avoid sunscreen altogether or avoid any potential harmful chemical? Not necessarily!

There are other options!
+ Wear protective clothing
+ Hanging out in the shade
+ Limit sun exposure based on your skin type to not let it get to the point of burning
+ Choose a cleaner sunscreen option like the ones in the photo

We are also big fans of the Rowe Casa Organics Sun Shield that comes in regular or tinted & is available in our boutique! Contact Us today to grab your bottle!
