Forever and Always: Supergoop Review

in the shade protected from the sun 300x225 Forever and Always: Supergoop ReviewI love sunblock. I know that is a little weird to say but so far (we’ll see how long that lasts) my boys have never had a sunburn. No that doesn’t make me mother of the year or anything, but it does make me feel like I am doing something right for them. I just feel a little safer during the spring and summer when they wear it. I also am a big fan of safe, eco-friendly products for my family.
Supergoop is by far the best sunscreen I have used. It is not tested on animals, has no artificial colors or unnecessary chemical additives… but does contain vitamins and minerals!
Here is some info from the site:

“Sunscreens are not all the same. Avobenzone, in it’s stabilized form, is one of the best UVA absorbers recognized by the FDA as safe and effective. To protect skin from these harmful effects, A Thaggard, M.D. is pleased to announce the newly formulated dry touch Supergoop! SPF 30 with SP3 TechnologyT, a unique blend of active organic ingredients that are photo stabilized so the lotion does not break down when exposed to sunlight as quickly as other sunscreens. As a result, Supergoop! screens out UVB burning rays and helps stop damaging UVA rays from penetrating the skin’s layers for a longer lasting, broad-spectrum protection.”
