Sooo not “green“, but it is the only sunscreen that does not invariably lead to tears in a child’s eyes. Banana Boat Baby Tear Free is now at Coscto in Redwood City, CA. They currently selling bundles of 2 eight oz. spray cans and 1 one oz. cream tube of their 50 SPF made with AvoTriplex, a photostable UVA technology. So, stock up for the summer!
If you are battling the eco-mom dilemma, I would like to share my experience. Whole Foods Market has some great, high SPF, baby and child formulated , organic sunscreens. These will inevitably ruin your day at the pool or the lake. For the sake of time, I will skip the hour long list of everything you, as the star mom you are, do to prepare everyone for your fabulous day of fun in the sun. Enough said, here’s how your day will play out with your pasty, organic SPF 70:
1. Lube up for the day.
2. Child hits the water.
3. Water hits the eyes of said child.
4. Child cries from the burning sensation of the sunscreen in his/her eyes, which leads to the immediate wiping the eyes, further saturating them with burning sunscreen.
5. Mom drops everything and spends the next 30 minutes trying to clear the sunscreen out of child’s eyes. (I have witnessed everything from direct express breast milk to lake water.)
The best part of this great scenario where you have come to the rescue, calmed your child, cleared the sunscreen and tears away, is that it will be nighttime before you notice the sunburn they got from not having adequate coverage for the rest of their day.
So my vote is, if you go into water, suck up the green thing, and go for the Banana Boat Baby Tear Free. Recycle the can, wash them down with organic, paraben-free soap when they are done, but protect their skin and eyes from burning. And have a much happier day at play. Happy tear free summer!
