Figuring out how to keep your kids still long enough to apply sunscreen is enough of a challenge nevermind the difficult decision of trying to decide which product will effectively protect their skin without irritating it. lavera (spelled with a lowercase 'l' intentionally) solves both issues with their Plant-Green Sun Spray SPF 25. Green plant pigment leaves a temporary colored residue on the skin so you can see exactly where the lotion has been applied - and more importantly, any areas you may have missed.

Once the green color disappears you don't have to worry because the product doesn't, even when the kids are splashing around in the pool, lake or ocean. Not only is the formula waterproof, it's 100 per cent mineral based, with vitamins and essential oils to keep skin nourished and moisturized. You don't have to fret about harsh chemicals and parabens because lavera products are natural and free of toxins.

Now all you have to worry about is trying to figure out how to dislodge sand from places God never meant it to be in the first place.
