The Beautycounter

Sunscreen

 

The US has not passed a federal law to regulate the ingredients used in personal care products since 1938. The FDA allows companies to use chemicals known to be extremely harmful in the products we put on our bodies and our kids every single day.

 

Keep kids safe from the sun's harmful rays (and harmful ingredients). It's made for kids but great for moms and dads, too.
