Really quick, some more sun options and better prices. My sister mentioned they use Banana Boat, which I have in the past too, and I know a lot of people do because of the awesome price for the giant sized tube, but unfortunately, that tube is packed with pretty much everything I listed in my first skin post. Bad for the environment, for your skin and eyes, for your hormones... But works great! It's a tradeoff. I don't think you'll find it cheaper than that, but here are some options that aren't too much more, and considering your health, well worth the few extra $:
Loving Naturals - 5 oz $9.39 - Great reviews, long-lasting, not thick or greasy, light natural smell
Nature's Gate Sunscreen - you can get a 3 pack (12 oz. total) for $26.70 at Amazon, or they're $8.99 each. Also great reviews for the Aqua Block - it's hard to find all natural block that will stay on during water sports, but several people swore by this as being long lasting and great in the water. Also light and non-greasy.
Goddess Garden - 6 oz $17.99 - Excellent reviews, not greasy, very effective and long-lasting. Some mentioned it needs to be rubbed in well, but is invisible after that.
Soleo Organics - 5.3 oz $23.92 - A little more expensive, and tube needs to be squeezed around a bit to mix up before use, but other than that people love it.
Alba Botanica - 4 oz $8.74 - This product had great reviews, and the price is pretty good, but it does have one ingredient to avoid - dimethicone, which is a non-biodegradable emollient. All the other ingredients are great. Compared to a lot of other sunscreen options it's far and above better for you, so I wouldn't rule it out.
I've linked the titles to their company websites, where you can buy most of the product, but you can also find them at Amazon at good prices, and I'm sure in stores too. What I love about Amazon are the reviews you can read, which helps a ton when considering a new product. Anyway, there you go!
