Sun Love With Block Island Organics!

If you've been following my blog, you know what a sunscreen fanatic I am! Rain or shine, indoors or out, you can be sure I am wearing some form of spf!

Since the Summer season brings sunscreen out front and center, and since I am always on the hunt for different natural sunscreen products, I was beyond thrilled when Block Island Organics contacted me to review their product!

What I love about this brand is that they are dedicated to not only creating safe and effective products, but also to educating consumers as well as being completely transparent with their ingredients. You can learn more here.

What I tried:

Sunscreen, Shades and a Non-GMO Beer - perfect companions on a hot Summer day! ;-)

Natural Mineral Sunscreen Spf 30 - There are always certain things that I look for in a sunscreen. It has to be lightweight, non-greasy, leave no white cast, go on easily and absorb quickly, be cruelty free, eco-friendly and of course contain zero harmful ingredients that can break me out! I know that seems like a tall order, and I'm not always successful in finding a product that meets all of my criteria, but I think I may have in this product!

Though the texture may seem a bit on the thick side at first, it really does feel light on the skin when applied. It blends easily and absorbs quickly, leaving a nice, matte finish, so it is a perfect primer for my oily skin! It contains Zinc Oxide as the UV filter, which also has antibacterial properties, making it great for acne prone skin. Other skin loving ingredients include Aloe Vera Gel, Shea Butter, Glycerin and Jojoba Oil.

Other reasons to love this:

• HEALTHY - Organic and natural ingredients - zinc only (safest & best UV filter)


• EFFECTIVE - SPF 30 & broad spectrum protection decreases the risk of skin cancer & aging


• SAFE - Gluten & nano free, vegan formula, eco-friendly (no ingredients shown to harm reefs)


• EASY APPLICATION - Ultra lightweight and non-greasy formula, can be worn under makeup


• TRUST - No parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, phthalates, dyes, fragrance. Made in USA
