Dreams Do Come True!
SUNSCREEN…(insert EEEKKK)
Yes, you read that right…my dream of Young Living creating a chemical free, all natural Sunscreen has come true! I recently traveled to Florida with my young children and used Aveeno sunscreen on them. My 2 younger sons complained that their faces burned once I put it on their face. It was very irritating to their skin. So I searched many local stores for an all natural sunscreen for them. After 3 stores, I purchased Badgers sunscreen. It didn’t burn their skin, which was good, BUT it was very difficult to apply and left them looking like ghosts. I had to repetitively rub the lotion in to try and get it go absorb into their skin. Eventually I would give up and they would walk around Florida looking pasty, even though they have olive colored skin.
After this trip of the sunscreen nightmare, I prayed that Young Living would release a Sunscreen at their Convention in June. Well, my prayers were answered! Young Living introduced the world to their NEW Mineral Sunscreen Lotion. This sunscreen is 10 SPF and protects against UVA and UVB rays without harsh chemical ingredients. It contains natural, plant and mineral-based ingredients, including non-nano zinc oxide (a physical UV blocker). For a busy mom of 3 boys, I love it’s lightweight formula that goes on smooth and is water and sweat resistant for 80 minutes! And it doesn’t leave the kids looking ghostly white…score! And how could I forget, the new sunscreen contains some of my favorite essentials oils, like Helichrysum, Carrot Seed, and Frankincense. My little guy has sensitive skin and he wears this sunscreen without complaints of it stinging his face. A little bit of lotion goes a long way too. It has been dermatologist tested and is hypoallergenic. Best part is that is CHEMICAL FREE!!! It does NOT contain UV chemical absorbers, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, animal-derived ingredients, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, or synthetic dyes.
This past weekend, we spent 4 hours at the beach. I applied Young Living’s Sunscreen to myself and my 3 boys when we arrived. I then reapplied it 80 minutes later. I’m happy to report that no one got a sunburn! Their skin didn’t look red at all, even the following day.
To sum it up, I’m one happy Mom! Finally, I feel confidence using an all natural sunscreen on my kids that will protect their delicate skin.

Be Gone Little Black Mosquitos!
NEW Insect Repellent!!! Living in suburban Long Island, New York, we are bombarded with tiny black mosquitos. They are like little ninjas. You don’t see them, but they love to bite us! My poor son, Frankie, is allergic to mosquito bites. His body swells from the bites. You can imagine how excited I was when Young Living announced that they created an Insect Repellent! I literally screamed out loud with excitement when I heard the news. I always avoided using products that contain DEET. “DEET has been shown to harm brain and nervous system function. Children are particularly at risk for subtle neurological changes because their skin more readily absorbs chemicals in the environment, and chemicals exert more potent effects on their developing nervous systems.” Dr. Mercola
Clinical Tested for Efficacy
Young Living’s NEW Insect Repellent has been clinically proven to repel mosquitos and prevent bug bites. It contains 99% active ingredients, plus 1% vitamin E. It’s formulated with bug repelling essential oils like Citronella, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Geranium, Spearmint, Thyme, and Clove. The formula is hypoallergenic and leaves the skin feeling smooth and moisturized, instead of greasy or sticky. It’s safe to use on children and is vegan friendly.
Now the true test…will it work to help my most susceptible boy remain bite free? I applied the insect repellent to Frankie’s neck, arms, and legs. He then went fishing with his Dad and I’m happy to report he came home without any bug bites! Now I need something to remind him to use it every day. Oh, the life of a 13 year old boy who’s always on the go!
