Vanicream Sunscreen |
 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 SPF 30, SPF 60, and SPF 35 Sport, Vanicream sunscreen's active
ingredients are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Both
are non-toxic, and the sunscreens themselves are free of harsh chemicals found in common sun blocks. But more importantly, they're effective. Vanicream sunscreen's
ingredients are also gentle on your skin and typically work better for MCS sufferers than other sun screens. Enjoy broad spectrum protection from the sun without exposing
yourself to harmful chemicals or irritating sensitive skin.

Safe Sunscreen for sensitive skin
Reviewed by: happy tanner from Nyack
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 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 right next to your skin just after you put it on. It sure beats walking around smelling like artificial coconut chemical stew all day!

Customer Q & A
Q1: Does this sunscreen contain nickel?
A: None of the sunscreen formulas contain any nickel.
Q2: My child is allergic to coconut. Do your sunscreens contain coconut? I have not found one that doesn't thus far.
A: They contain trace amounts of coconut derived products that have been very refined. Generally, these do not cause reactions, but as with any product in this instance, we always recommend that you spot test a very small amount depending on the severity of the allergic reaction. As a rule, most sunscreens contain varying degrees of coconut or coconut derivatives.
Q3: Is this safe for 13 month old with nut allergies?
A: The ingredients used are not made from any common sources e.g., peanuts and tree nuts such as almonds, cashews, or walnuts. Some shampoo or cleanser ingredients may be made from coconuts. However, coconuts are not actually nuts they are seeds.
And age is not import since all Vanicream and Free & Clear products are safe for children.
Depending on the severity of the allergy, you can always call customer service at 1-800-339-7123 and request a free sample.

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 goes on clear and sure
beats walking around smelling like artificial coconut chemical stew
all day! Overall, it's effective and devoid of the harmful chemicals found
in more common sun block, including formaldehyde releasers, parabens and dyes. For more fair skinned complexions, use
SPF 60. For others try either the SPF 30 or the new SPF 35 Sport (for active outdoors individuals).
