With three kids aged three and under life can get c-r-a-z-y quickly. Whenever our sweet little girls teeter on the brink of meltdown city, we head outside as fast as I can grab their shoes and spray them with sunscreen. This routine happens a lot, multiple times a day. In fact, we practically live outside and I am so thankful that we live in a climate that allows us to play outside year round.
If your family is anything like mine, you probably escape to the outdoors to diffuse sibling situations, too. Do you take the time to slather them with sunscreen before the sun hits them? I keep two bottles of sun lotion right by the door for quick access–I don’t want to forget and end up with skin that’s redder than their tempers!
You know what I don’t remember, though? I forget to put sunscreen on myself! I’m lucky to have skin that tans easily and rarely burns so I usually think I’m okay being outside for hours on end without any skin protection. But as I get older I’m realizing how harmful that perspective on the sun’s rays can be for me and my skin. That’s why I was so thrilled to review a new line of all natural sun body lotion–a moisturizing, 95% organic, SPF 15 lotion that is made without chemicals and smells nice, too. Yes, that kind of sunscreen lotion for us busy moms really does exist!
Goddess Garden is a line of all-natural suncare products invented by a concerned mom in Colorado. Nova Covington discovered what effects the harsh chemicals of other skin care products could have on children and adults after learning her daughter was allergic to them. She designed an organic lotion that is gentle on your skin but manages to provide powerful protection against the sun–the all natural way!
The every day Sun Body Lotion comes in an 8 oz tube–i loved how it went on sheer and smooth–i definitely think each bottle will last me at least a month of every day application. It offers SPF 15 while hydrating your skin and making it smell incredible. Sun Body Lotion comes in three different scents to help boost your mood and heighten your senses. My personal favorite is the Lavender Mint (Live Your Dream)–meant to calm your mind and clarify your vision. My girls love the refreshing scent of the Grapefruit Bergamot (Find Your Bliss), designed to increase happiness and gratitude. And there is still the Tangerine Lavender (Open Your Heart) which aims to lift your spirits. You really cannot go wrong with any of their options!
Each 8 oz bottle costs $18.99. I find this price incredibly reasonable. Its sheer application means you don’t need a lot and that the bottle will last you a long time. Not to mention its most impressive quality–every Sun Body Lotion is made of 95% organic ingredients–the highest certified organic content body lotion with SPF available. You can rest assured knowing that your body is protected against both the sun and chemicals–peace of mind that you cannot put a price tag on! I am definitely a new convert to Green Goddess products and think that, once you try them, you’ll be joining me, too! While you’re shopping for yourself, don’t forget to check out their kids‘ line–yet one more reason to get on board the Green Goddess train. You can buy these lotions online or in a store near you. Or check out their Facebook and Twitter pages for more information. You won’t regret the switch!
