Sounds good! Glad she found something to use. I can completely understand the want to skip the sunscreen. BUT I recognize that you cannot just skip it with no thought! There are a lot of 'safer' sun blocks out there but they do cost a fortune! My compromise for now has been to use this site http://www.ewg.org/2015sunscreen/ and find a 'safer' sunscreen. I went with a sunscreen with a lower rating (3 or lower) that is easily available at a decent cost. I ended up using the Banana Boat Natural Reflect Kids 50. Still has some questionable components but it is rated at 3 and is available everywhere.

With the amount that we need to use in each application I couldn't bring myself to spend $35 for a tiny bottle of the creams with the 1 rating (best safety rating). If money was in complete abundance I'd be all for it!
