*Please click on my Disclosures tab at the top of the page and read my product review/giveaway policy.* Since I became a mother, I've been a little more conscious about what goes into and onto my body (because it will eventually go into my child's body) and what I have in my house.  I've been trying to buy more green and environmentally friendly household products, and consequently I've been gravitating to websites and vendors that sell these products on the internet.  So a few weeks ago I connected with Jody Sherman, the CEO and co-founder of EcoMom (formerly SproutBaby.com) on Twitter and Facebook.  I would encourage you to do the same, as well as sign up for the online community and newsletter at EcoMom.com.  All of these networks provide valuable information about green and environmentally friendly products and services, as well as links to articles that are of interest to environmentally conscious people.  EcoMom also has a new program called EcoPass.  This program allows you to purchase a $99 annual membership, which provides you with a 15% discount on every order, as well as free shipping without the $75 minimum order requirement.  That $99 would pay for itself in no time with all the online shopping I do. One of Jody's tweets asked if anyone would be interested in reviewing EcoMom products and blogging about our findings, so I got in touch with him to express my interest.  After a few prompt and pleasant e-mail exchanges, I was set up with a package of Doctor T's Supergoop! sunscreen swipes and everyday lotion.

I received the package from Jody the day after we determined which product I would be reviewing.  Prompt shipping is always a plus!  Now I just had to find an opportunity to test out the sunscreen swipes...... As luck would have it, this past weekend was absolutely gorgeous in Atlanta, and there were a multitude of festivals and activities going on: The Dogwood Festival, Braves vs. Rockies, the Sweetwater 420 Beer Festival, and Dunwoody's Lemonade Days.  Since the aforementioned activities all took place in the heart of Atlanta save for Lemonade Days, we decided to try our luck in Dunwoody.  We got there around 1:30, and the weather was perfect: mostly sunny with a few clouds floating by for a brief respite from the sun, and a slightly breezy 75 degrees.  I broke out the sunscreen swipes, and my testing was officially underway. The first thing I noticed about the swipes was that they had no smell.  So far, so good.  I gave a swipe to the Mister and took one for myself, and we went to town swiping ourselves.  One swipe covered all of my exposed areas (arms, face, chest, lower legs) with moisture still left on the swipe when I was done (and I'm not a small girl).  I felt like the sunscreen was distributed evenly and adequately, and it was not at all greasy or runny.  It dried quickly, and was not sticky or tacky when it was dry.  My skin felt the same after the application as it did before, and it smelled the same as well.  All good things. Then came the true test: using the swipes on a squirmy 10-month old boy.  How difficult would it be?  Turns out, it was so easy.  I was able to coat him with sunscreen in about 15 seconds and was confident that he was completely protected.  CJ has very sensitive skin, even for a baby, so I was concerned that the product would irritate him.  But it didn't.  He was perfectly fine.  So away we went to enjoy Lemonade Days! We were outside for a good two hours in full sun exposure, and none of us even got slightly crispy.  CJ's legs were constantly in the sun, and they didn't get burned.  We all got a little sweaty, and the sunscreen didn't run or get yucky on our skin.  So even after running around outside for a few hours, we were able to get back in the car and not worry about getting sunscreen yuckiness on the seats.  After a successful afternoon of fun, it was time to head home and get cleaned up. Another great thing about these sunscreen swipes was that we didn't feel like we HAD to get home and get in the shower right away to get the sunscreen off.  You know how you put on regular sunscreen and then when you're done with your outdoor activity, the first thing you want to do is wash off the oily smelly sunscreen?  Not so with the Supergoop.  We didn't even remember that we had it on.  We messed around in the house and took CJ back outside Saturday evening, and then finally gave him his bath at the normal time.  The sunscreen washed off cleanly and didn't make the bath greasy or slick.  Seriously, if we didn't come home with ABSOLUTELY NO SUNBURN, you would never know that we had ever had any sunscreen on our bodies. All in all, I can confidently say that I LOVE Doctor T's Supergoop! sunscreen swipes.  I'm so glad that I was introduced to them, and I plan on buying my own supply.  I think you should do the same.  In fact, one lucky reader is going to win their very own package of Doctor T's Supergoop! sunscreen swipes!  That's a $34.00 value, y'all.
