I know that sounds nuts, but only if we go to the beach or something (which is never). We dress for the sun as best we can and wear really big hats. LOL I just have such a distrust of all things that are supposed to alter nature, especially that you put directly on your body. We never used baby wipes either, too many chemicals. Also with the early onset of exzema for GM we figured out early on that putting stuff on him that wasnt pure would really not work well for him. This then trickled to our other kids. GM is dark skinned so he has never had a sunburn of any sort. ME had a slight one one time, but it was tan the next morning. I know it is important and if we were out in the sun all day, or swimming in Tucson, we use it, but I am very reluctant for the same reasons you stated.Blissfulbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634500907084879208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20951976.post-1153240698826232352006-07-18T09:38:00.000-07:002006-07-18T09:38:00.000-07:00This just illustrates so many of my frustrations w...This just illustrates so many of my frustrations with how and where we live. I also hate the fact that we can't live clean lives: no matter what we do, we cause pollution and death just by being alive.<BR/><BR/>My newest obsession is sunscreen, and how the chemicals in it can actually cause cancer and how the use of anti-burning chemicals increase our overall exposure (because we feel "safe") and this increase our risk of melanoma. Still, to get what I have found to be the safest sunscreen I can find I will have to order it, which means fossil fuels will be used to transport it, petrochemicals will be used to make the plastic bottle, the big rig or UPS truck that delivers it uses antifreeze, and so on and so on and so on.Sunshine Alternative Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111855968940650979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20951976.post-1152998527359927402006-07-15T14:22:00.000-07:002006-07-15T14:22:00.000-07:00Thanks for posting this!!!
