For those who want to know

I put sunscreen on Nate's face, neck, and arms each morning when I drop him off at school. I've been using the California Baby brand. It's pretty good--goes on easy enough--but it leaves him looking a bit ghostly and doesn't wipe off my hands well at all.

Sara had a great post about safemama.com and also on using chemical-free cleaning products, which I'm starting to do. Anyway, through safemama, I found other sunscreen recommendations and was excited to buy the TruKid natural sunscreen online today. It's just one more thing I can do to keep Nate away from chemicals that may be harmful!

UPDATE: I received the TruKid sunscreen and used it this morning. It smells good, rubs in very well, and doesn't leave Nate looking pasty. An A+ in my book! I bought it on TruKid's ebay store using my Paypal money.

Katie--I haven't tried any dish detergent for the dishwasher. I'm glad (for my sake) to know that yours didn't clean. I usually use the method brand liquid dishwashing soap in the handled sponge in my sink, and it works well to wash the sippy cups, and other dishes that I wash quick and dry instead of put in the dishwasher. Let me know if you find any for the dishwasher that works!!

Chemicals aside... my husband read an article the other day that stated that sunscreen is polluting the ocean. Some tons of it wash up on shore yearly. All natural is what is being recommended to help stop the ocean polluting.

I use spray on sunscreen.
