IMG_0582_500x500What do hiking, park playdates, camping and fishing, and all-day outdoor adventures have in common? The hot summer sun! And when you are a parent of a child with fair or sensitive skin you know that generally means one thing – the possibility of a painful sunburn! As the experts in children’s skincare, TruKid understands the needs and concerns of parents who have children with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies, and chemical sensitivities. Not only do you need to be extra vigilant about protecting your little one’s skin, you need to be able to trust the products you are using to provide the needed protection -- without causing rashes or eczema flare-ups! To solve this issue, TruKid worked with doctors to create a one of a kind sunscreen line that is perfect for children (and adults!) with sensitive skin. Here’s why TruKid sunscreens are right for your family:   Truly Natural Ingredients All of TruKid’s products are made from natural and organic ingredients that are tested and trusted. Our sunscreens are no exception! Through extensive research and development, we have created several types of sunscreen that offer superior protection without the harsh chemicals. Our products contain organic and moisturizing ingredients such as aloe leaf juice, jojoba and sunflower seed oil, green tea extract, and pomegranate juice for a natural hydration and sensitive skin protection that applies easily and gently.  And no ghostly haze! Non-Nano and 100% Mineral Sunscreen Chemical sunscreens require that they be applied at least 20 minutes in advance of sun exposure for them to offer protection. The chemicals must be absorbed into the skin before working – leading not only to inconvenience, but more importantly, a high risk of reactions in those with sensitive skin. With TruKid sunscreen, you never need to worry about that! All of our sun protection products are 100% mineral-based and are “non-nano.”  This means the particles are too large to be absorbed into your skin, and instead create a barrier that sits on top of your skin reflecting away harmful UVA and UVB rays.  TruKid sunscreen is like a sunshirt for your skin!  It works immediately, and being chemical-free reduces the likelihood of skin irritations and reactions. Pediatrician and Dermatologist Approved! Our TruKid line of sunscreens was developed by a doctor and extensively tested by pediatricians and dermatologists to ensure they meet our strict standards of safety for the most sensitive skin. All TruKid products are hypoallergenic and non-toxic, and are free of gluten, phthalates, chemicals, and parabens – which tend to create some of the worst skin irritations. Commitment to Quality TruKid has earned its reputation as the experts in children’s skincare by its commitment to making truly natural products that parents can trust. In addition to the reasons above, there are several other benefits to using TruKid sunscreen for your children’s needs, including:
  • Highly rated on EWG and voted “Most Awesome Sunscreen” by Red Tricycle!
