Natural Sunscreen Ingredients You Can Put On Your Skin The following is a guest post by Katie Kimball of KitchenStewardship. Thanks, Katie! I was totally not prepared for the last holiday weekend. We traveled to a lake in mid-Michigan to visit family, and I was expecting cold weather. I checked to make sure everyone had sweatshirts and considered bringing a knit cap for the baby in case we took a long walk. It had been in the 30s in our area overnight at the end of the week and it’s always colder three hours north, plus it’s almost always cruddy weather on Memorial Day weekend up there. And then it was gorgeous. And everyone wanted to swim. I was dumbstruck, realizing I hadn’t even thought to pack sunscreen! Luckily on that front, I have tubes in the diaper bag, snack bag and van glove box all the time, so no lobster skin for the fair-skinned, pasty white Kimball kids. As much as I embrace my kids showing a little skin and soaking up the Vitamin D, that much direct sunlight, midday, early in the season does make me nervous. The other good news?

My skin often gets itchy just from using the store-bought kinds, and it leaves me feeling icky. Not to mention, it is usually polluting a water body. You also want to be on the lookout for the endocrine disruptor, oxybenzone, used in many store bought sunscreens. Anyways, a few weeks ago I spent all afternoon in the park with my boyfriend and his family. It wasn’t a very hot or super sunny day but I didn’t have any sunscreen on because I hadn’t made any yet.
