Safe & Inexpensive Sunscreen

08 June 2009

Cosmetic Database is my source for finding non-toxic cosmetics, soaps, lotions, etc. Cosmetic Database has a rating system of 0-10. 0 is absolutely non-toxic with no harmful chemicals, and a rating of 10 means a product is highly toxic.

I was introduced to this site last year, and was shocked when I started entering our supposedly "natural" products. There was a particular organic sunscreen that I used on my kids, recommended to others, and paid a pretty penny for. When I went to Cosmetic Database it was rated a 4!

Top 10 Safest Sunscreens & Other Sun Safety Tips

We decided to go with CVS Zinc Oxide Spf 45+, because of it's rating and the price. If you watch the sales at CVS you can get a buy one, get one deal every few weeks. The sunscreen is great for sensitive skin, and we haven't had a burn yet.

I am madly in love with Jesus, my husband and my children, but I started out completely oblivious on how to abide and prosper in these roles.  By God’s grace, I am learning what it is to be my husband’s help-mate, pursue my children’s hearts, and how to frugally manage my home.  Some days I feel like I can conquer the world, or at least my laundry pile, and other days point towards my complete need for God’s strength.    

Frugal Wellness was started because I realized I was not alone in my intimidation and ignorance.  Living well is about more than nutrition and health, though that is a big part of it, but it is also about nourishing ones soul, and loving people well.  This is a blog about my adventure in learning to be a wife, mom, cook, a non-toxic home manager, and a home educating parent - on a tight budget.  My hope is that I can share what wisdom God has given me, and that this is a place where we can all learn and grow together.
