I have been making the change slowly but surely to add more natural and cruelty-free products to my every day routine. We started with sunscreen this summer because we realized the sunscreens we had been using were pretty terrible for our bodies and I didn’t to put any of those on Jack’s sensitive skin. I have been using the Dermalogica one for a long time and really liked it but I wanted to see what else was out there! These are some of the one we have liked the best – for adults AND for littles!!
