Summertime is my favorite time. The weather is warm, and
almost always perfect. Like most families, we spend the majority of our summer
outdoors – cooking, swimming, playing, and relaxing.
So when I heard about the Banana Boat 101 Days of Summer Play campaign, which asks parents to pledge to enjoy outdoor summer fun with
their families every day all summer long, I thought – no problem!
Go online to take the pledge yourself. It's easy and well worth it because every
pledge that Banana Boat receives buys a bottle of sunscreen for The Hole in the
Wall Gang Camp – a non-profit organization that provides camp experiences for
children coping with cancer and other serious illnesses.
Our family has already worked on sending our favorite
outdoor action pics to Banana Boat's Facebook photo contest. We're now eligible
for some great prizes, including the grand prize of an all expense paid adventure
vacation to the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
And if you are looking for an all-natural
sunblock this summer (and who isn't with all those scary ingredients in other
products), try Banana Boat® Natural Reflect sunscreen.
It's the first mass brand sunscreen that offers sun protection using naturally
sourced sunscreen actives that deflect UVA and UVB rays. What’s great is the
sunscreen is oxybenzone, PABA and paraben free and uses 100% naturally-sourced
mineral sunscreen. It’s a great option for children and babies – the baby and
kids formulas are pediatrician tested and gentle on sensitive skin.
This product is available in three
varieties – all of which are water resistant:
- Natural Reflect Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+
- Kids Natural Reflect Tear-Free Sting-Free Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+
- Baby Natural Reflect Tear-Free Sting-Free Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+
Moms, what are your favorite outdoor summer activities?
