Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen Review/Giveaway

Sunday, June 20th, 2010 | Author: *Alex*

Between Konnor’s “white patches” and Ariana’s sensitive baby skin, I am a worry wart when it comes to the sun. It would be wrong and unfair of me to not protect them from the harmful UV rays, which is why I spend a ton of time, every year, in the sunscreen isle.

I have two distinct issues with most sunscreens that I have purchased since Konnor was born (and I have bought a LOT of sunscreen):

the smell
the consistency

Hawaiian Tropic’s sunscreen isn’t like normal sunscreen. What do I mean by that? You don’t have that nasty coconut smell that most sunscreens posses. It’s more of a…. well, tropical smell, which is exactly what drew me in. Before I could apply this to my kids, before we even had sun here in Oregon, I knew I was going to love this sunscreen. Yes, because it smelled good.

Now, when you are talking sunscreen and babies, or sunscreen and toddlers, you might cringe. For one reason. Applying it to the face, right? Yes! This is probably the worst part of using the stuff. Sure, you can use the regular sunscreen, which is runny, and the chances of getting it in their eyes or mouth is pretty high. Or, you could try the spray sunscreen which you have to end up rubbing in anyways because if you are like me, you have to be sure there is enough on your child to avoid sunburn.

The Baby & Kids Protection line of sunscreen is thick. Not so thick that you have a hard time getting it to come out, but thicker than normal sunscreen. It is more of a creme, making it easier to apply, easier to rub in, and that must mean it’s less likely to come off in the water, yeah? This makes face application a heck of a lot easier, let me tell you!

Plus! Hawaiian Tropic has come out with a Baby Stick Sunscreen for the easy to miss places on the face, such as nose, under and around the eyes, and even the ears. It literally is like applying deodorant – super easy and super safe!
