Camp. Camping. Nature Walks. Trips to the Zoo. The Park. The Beach.

Summer is in full swing, and for most of us that means we're spending a lot of time outside enjoying the warm weather! But with all the good sunshine comes a few little downfalls- sunburns and bug bites. And honestly, who wants to deal with that? I certainly don't! So, in our home  a good sunscreen and a good bug spray are an absolute MUST!

There is just one problem- my daughter's super sensitive, eczema prone skin!

I jokingly say that if you look at her funny, she'll break out- but I'm only part joking! She truly does have the most sensitive skin I've ever seen. This severely limits the products we can use on her skin. Anything with harsh chemicals, perfumes, etc are all out. But we NEED these summer products, so what are we supposed to do? Are there more natural alternatives?

Thankfully there are! Which is why I was thrilled to discover a fabulous little company called Butterbean Sunscreen:

The message of Butterbean is simple. It is about using healthy ingredients that protect the skin, while complimenting the relationship of people to their environment. Our whole body products are full of vitamins and antioxidants that effectively nourish and protect even the most sensitive skin. Making healthy choices in our everyday lives not only impacts our well-being, it also benefits our community and the environment.Good for people. Good for the Planet.


Sounds pretty great, right? I could not wait to try out my new Butterbean products!

Butterbean SPF 30 Simple Formula Sunscreen

• Certified Organic Ingredients
• Water and sweat resistant (to 80 minutes)
• Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection
• Non-nano particle, uncoated pure zinc oxide
• Cruelty-free, reef safe, biodegradable
• Top rated by the Environmental Working Group
• Convenient, effective protection

Because of my daughter's tendency to break out, I am always very apprehensive when trying new lotions of any type. Thankfully, Butterbean Sunscreen did not present any issues for her! It went on smoothly and did not irritate her in the least! Plus with its various oils, it not only protected her against the sun, but also helped to keep her skin hydrated while wearing it as well.

But did it work? Yes! Unfortunately, I had the chance to see it in action when I accidentally missed a small area on my daughter's face. The areas around it were nice and pale, but that missed spot ended up a little red! It worked well for my older son as well, even through his time in the swimming pool.

I don't know about where you are, but here in Indiana, it has been a very WET summer. Every time we turn around, it seems like its raining. Again. Unfortunately, this means an increase in mosquitoes! They are absolutely awful this year! A few nights ago I stepped outside for just 5-10 minutes and came in covered in bites! Let me tell you, this is NOT fun! Needless to say, this fantastic spray has been a blessing in our home this summer. It keeps the bugs away naturally, and actually smells really great too, unlike other bug repellent options on the market! I love it!

Butterbean Sunscreen and Bug Spray are not just good for the family, they are also good for the earth. Packaged in an eco-friendly metal pump/spray bottles, they are also refillable! 12 oz refill packages are available to keep you protected all summer long!

Overall, I was thrilled with my Butterbean products. They kept my family protected from sun and bugs, and were safe for the ENTIRE family to use! Truly a product I can feel great about using!
