One of my new year’s intentions this year was to remove any toxic ingredients from our home- that was an all encompassing task and included cleaning products, soaps, lotions, foods, etc. I’m proud to report that we’re doing pretty well on that front!

I’m particularly strict when it comes to products I’m putting on my kids. A few months ago, with summer incoming, I immediately started looking for safer sunblocks to use on my kids. That’s when I learned about Roe Wellness.

Roe is a brand built by a pediatric nurse practitioner, they use only high-quality, non-toxic products that parents can trust are safe to use on little ones.

I’ve been using their SPF 50 mineral powder for months now and it’s truly a product my kids love to use- which is HUGE because usually a task like applying sunscreen is a real pain in the butt! The mineral powder is so easy to use and can be used easily throughout the day to re-apply sunscreen no matter where you are!

I have these little sticks everywhere- in my purse, my diaper bag, my car, the stroller. We take one to Disneyland every time we go and it makes it so easy to re-apply sunscreen in lines or while waiting for food. One of the best parts about the powder specifically is that it’s easy to apply on my kids’ heads/scalps. That seems to be an area that’s always forgotten but yet gets so much sun!

When I know we’re going to the beach, the pool, splash pad, basically anywhere where my kids are going to get wet- I swap the mineral powder for the mineral stick sunscreen. The sunscreen is water resistant for up to 80 minutes, where as the powder is not water resistant at all. The stick is easy to rub on arms and legs, I especially make sure to get my kids’ necks and back of their ears covered as well! I had skin cancer on my neck when I was 16 years old (thanks to lots of sun exposure playing soccer), so I don’t skimp on any area!

If you’re looking to make some non-toxic swaps to your own routine, look no further than Roe Wellness for your sunscreen needs!! I actually use the powder myself as well to re-apply sunscreen over my makeup throughout the day if we’re out and about as well! It’s been such a dream for me to partner with Roe, I can’t wait to continue supporting and working with them!
