EW: Product Review/Giveaway: KINeSYS Earthkind Sunscreen

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!!!!!!!!!

Here in the South the Azaleas bloomed around Easter and we all knew what that meant: Summer was only a few WEEKS away. We really don't have Spring- we have remnants of Winter with some nice days and Summer with some nice days at the beginning!

 I like to buy new sunscreen at the beginning of Summer, as what has gotten thru Winter and Spring is usually getting mighty ugly, and it's sort of a rite of passage, isn't it???  

So when I was given the chance recently to review KINeSYS Earthkind Sunscreen, I jumped at the chance to try a new sunscreen for the Summer!

KINeSYS Performance Sunscreens are the ONLY oil, alcohol, PABA, preservative and paraben-free spray sunscreens on the market! Talk about eco-friendly! Providing photo-stable, broad spectrum UVA / UVB protection while being very water & sweat-resistant (pretty important when you have a toddler or kids playing sports!), KINeSYS Sunscreens are also hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic (won’t block pores). With it’s Micro-spray technology, KINeSYS mists on and feels like a powder; no need for messy rubbing, dries quickly, leaving no residue.  With topical anti-oxidants (to fight free radicals) KINeSYS Sunscreens are Dermatologist & Pediatrician recommended.

KINeSYS is proud to be EarthKind, Ethical Manufacturing: our sprays use non-pressurized aerosol pumps, recycled/able packaging; soy based inks and are Carbon Neutral (KINeSYS purchases carbon offsets towards wind energy for production runs and office energy usage). KINeSYS is Cruelty-free and Vegan. KINeSYS is a Certified B Corporation (http://www.bcorporation.net http://www.bcorporation.net/kinesys), an active member of Social Venture Network (SVN, http://www.svn.org/), and our CEO is a founding member of the Green Supply Chain Forum.

I was sent 2 different bottles to try:    

KINeSYS Kids: Has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) rating of 30, meaning that it extends the body’s natural UV resistance by 30 times. If applied as directed, this product will effectively absorb both UVA and UVB rays. This gentle non-irritating formula is ideal for children, sprays on easily and dries fast for little athletes on the go and comes in a bright fun package kids love.And because it's fragrance free, it helps to keep the bees away, letting your kids play all day without worry!


I used this on my daughter when she went out to garden and play ball and it didn't need to be reapplied at all! AND she came back in rosy cheeked from having fun, but with NO sunburn! YEAH! She also liked the spray better than the lotion we had been using- makes for a quicker and less messy application when you have a aquirming toddler that wants to go PLAY!

SPF 15 Alcohol Free Sunscreen Spray
 Mango scented, ideal companion to your daily skin care program. This KINeSYS product has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) rating of 15, meaning that it extends the body's natural UV resistance by 15 times.

This travel size spray was PERFECT to carry in my bag for times when we got out unplanned at say a festival or a park for a little while. With the quick application, at least we had a decent amount of sun coverage. Both daughter and I never burned and didn't even tan, as the SPF15 formula kept all the rays at bay sufficiently! I love this spray and this is probably going to be my go-to for the summer to carry in the car and in my purse!

I love these sunscreens! I can't say enough about them- they are so LIGHT and easy to apply, and they work REALLY WELL!!! The sunscreens of our childhood pale so much in comparison!
