This is a total sun block lotion for children. Kid Kare is 100% natural, is Biodegradable and uses no parabens in the preservative system. By combining the natural minerals, Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, we provide Broad Spectrum protection and reflect both UVB and UVA rays from the skin. In this formula, we use 9% Titanium Dioxide and 3.5% Zinc Oxide and offer a complete sun block for your children. Though we block all UV rays from hitting the skin, it is necessary to hydrate the skin while recreating in the sun, as it still is subject to heat and extreme circumstances. Our formula surrounds the natural sunscreen minerals with Organic Aloe Leaf: Cucumber extracts and a variety of tropical plant extracts known for their moisturizing capabilities because the shin needs to be able to regulate its temperature and not overheat. Using Wild Pansy extract from the Caribbean; Green Coffee Bean extract; organic Jojoba: and Sunflower oil we provide natural anti-oxidants and natural preservatives to offer a complete, safe and natural sun block for Kids. The Kid friendly aroma makes this the ultimate Children's suncreen and it is water resistant, so it does not come off upon entry into the water. When applying, it is not necessary to vigorously rub the lotion onto the areas of need. Simply imagine your hand as a paint brush and gently wipe the sunscreen on the skin. This allows for non-streaking and even coverage of the sun protection. Pay close attention to the areas where the bone is closest to the skin, like the sholders, face, tops of feet, as these areas tend to be the most prone to sunburn. Plus, your kids will not be opposed to your application process due to your gentle approach. You should apply the sunscreen every hour to hour and a half for best results.
