We all know how important it is to protect our skin from the sun. But if you have sensitive skin or eczema, sunscreen may irritate your skin, making you have to choose between a dangerous sunburn and itchy, red skin. In addition, most sunscreens are packed full of chemicals that are as harmful as the sun's rays. These chemicals are absorbed into the skin and stay within the body, becoming part of the chemical stew that many experts think we're being filled with bit by bit, day by day. Ironically, some of these chemicals' toxicities increase when exposed to sunlight!
Vanicream sunscreen is the answer. Available in both SPF 30 and SPF 60, Vanicream sunscreen's active ingredients are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, both non-toxic and effective.

Vanicream Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin
I was so excited to find this sunscreen. I actually stopped using
sunscreen for the most part last summer (and just tried to avoid
staying in the sun too long) after I read that you're more likely to
get cancer from sunscreen than UV ray exposure! Most sunscreens
actually contain carcinogenic chemicals which get directly absorbed
by the skin. So I was glad to find a product that doesn't contain
any dyes, fragrances, parabens, or other harmful chemical additives.
Vanicream sunscreen is soft on the skin and soft on the nose, too.
The sunscreen does have a slight odor, but you can only smell it if
you stick your nose to your skin right after you put it on. It sure
beats walking around smelling like artificial coconut chemical stew
all day!
