You know
that person that burns in the sun, no matter how much sunscreen is put on?
Well, that’s my daughter Maizie.
I can apply
it every half an hour and the girl will still get a burn. It gets to the point
where she’s smacking me away causing a huge scene (okay, it’s probably me
causing the scene because that’s how I roll).
I was given
the opportunity to try Block Island Organics Sunscreen. I figured, it’s organic
and it’s local.
Block Island Organics grew out of Koru Eco Spa and a desire to provide safe, effective, and pleasing suncare products.
Our mission is to give everyone access to safe, effective, and lovable non-toxic suncare products. We believe in living outside and enjoying the sun and not hiding from it. With a little sun knowledge and the right sunscreen you can live our mantra: “Play Smart, Play Safe.”
I believe
when you want something tested for quality assurance, it should be under the
harshest conditions. If you’re going to test an umbrella, do it during a torrential
downpour, not a light drizzle.
Well, I
tested Block Island Organics under some harsh conditions. I used the fairest of
them all (Maizie) in Disney World, on a 90 degree sunny day.
My husband
slathered her up with the SPF 40 and we were off to the Magic Kingdom for the day. He did say
it was kind of thick when he put it on, but once it was rubbed in, she didn’t
have a greasy sunscreen feel to her. I feel that if it’s a bit thicker, it’s
easier to see if you’ve missed any spots.
All day
Maizie kept checking her shoulders to see if it was working, it was. By the end
of the day, she was going on and on about how great the new sunscreen worked
(believe me, she’s a tough critic).

With it
being organic, being local (in Rhode Island) and having the convenience of the ingredients listed
on their website so you can check their EWG ratings, I say Block Island
Organics is a winner.
Happy
Sunning!!
