MelanSol All Natural Sunscreen - Review and Giveaway


I LOVE going to the pool, but I normally get burnt.
With that being said, I KNOW I am not the only one :)
I am always looking to see what other sun protection is out there.
With Memorial Day around the corner, I know that many people will be outside enjoying the weather.
I wanted to share with you a product that we will be using Memorial Day, as well as throughout the summer!

Also, I never really gave much thought, but I always said I needed "sunblock."
Then, I got to thinking... is sunBLOCK what I need?
I thought that the sun was supposed to be good, you know... Vitamin D and all?

Thank goodness MelanSol explained it to me!
MelanSol is a sunscreen, it allows 3-10 5 of the suns UV Rays to reach your skin.
Remember, the Vitamin D?
See, I knew I was not going crazy!!!

You know I am not one for quoting all sorts of stuff from their site, so you can click over to the MelanSol FAQ to learn more, but I did want to share this with you:

From their site:
Q. Why should you adopt MelanSol® as your brand of sunscreen?
A. Because MelanSol® was invented by Peter Zahner, a man who experienced basal and squamous cell carcinoma skin cancer first hand. It is specifically formulated to help prevent sunburn and the kind of skin damage that can cause these two non-lethal forms of skin cancer. It accomplishes this by helping your body protect itself in two different ways, instead of just one. Your first level of protection is zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, natural active ingredients that safely reflect a high percentage of UV rays away from your skin. Your second level of protection, and the reason why MelanSol® sunscreen is so revolutionary, is a special combination of potent all natural antioxidants that help your body fight the buildup of free radicals--rogue molecules that form on your skin when its exposed to UV rays. Free radicals are the cause of sunburn and long-term skin damage that can lead to basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma skin cancer. Recent studies have concluded that chemicals contained in traditional sunscreens can be harmful to your body and the environment as they decompose--possibly contributing to skin cancer. Your skin is the largest organ your body has and what you put on your skin is absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

Now, we have not really been outside that much lately.
Well, let me clarify.
We have been on our porch, but that is about it...
The pool opens Memorial Day, so that is all about to change.
Not to mention, summer = the boys here = outside A L O T!!!!!

I was sent the MelanSol All Natural Sunscreen line for us to review, but have not had the chance to use it out in the sun yet...
Now, I have put it on...
I wanted to know how it felt...

There is a hint of some fragrance that I just can not figure out.
It is not a smell of typical sun protection.
The ingredients are all natural, as you can see by clicking HERE.
The MelanSol goes on like a lotion, it quickly absorbs into your skin, and it does NOT leave a greasy/oily feeling.
I actually put it on and then a few minutes later, I poured water on my arms to see how it would react to the water...
( I wish I could have jumped in a pool to check it out.)
The water quickly ran off of my skin, as if there was a small barrier to protect while swimming or sweating!

I love that with it being all natural, it is safe for children too!
Especially with Broxton having eczema, we are always super cautious with his lotions.
This seems like a great fit for the whole family!
Instead of having to carry around several different bottles, we can all share one!

Comments

  1. Always looking for new sunscreens. The melansol website has a feature "Which MelanSol® is right for me? ". It said the spf 10 for me, however, I have a fair skinned child who needs more sun-protection so she would need the 30...maybe 25.
