Marie Veronique Organics Kid Safe Screen SPF 25
June 28, 2010 I got to try the new Marie Veronique Kid Safe Screen SPF 25 and was quite impressed with its broad spectrum UVA/UVB formula. It contains 20% non-micronized zinc oxide (no nano technology) and you get instant protection upon application. That means no more waiting 30 minutes before going outside!
There's no greasy residue at all. The smooth, matte texture absorbs right into the skin and it's gentle enough to use around the eyes. This sunscreen also contains a proprietary MVO butter, a blend of organic butters that features the moisturizing and water-resistant mango butter.
I also tried the no-tint version of the MVO Everyday Coverage SPF 30. It contains a chockfull of anti-aging ingredients as well as healing properties from yangu and emu oils. This SPF product contains 24% zinc oxide. I'm not sure if it's because of the zinc oxide minerals but my pores seem to be diminished whenever I use this sunscreen. Another plus for me.
For both products, the mineral pigment from the zinc oxide might take a while to fully disappear into the skin. In my case it took about 20-30 minutes before I lost the white film, but that's no biggie for me. In any case these two items are now on my list of SPF favorites.
Marie Veronique sells the Kid Safe Screen in a 3-bottle pack, so stock up for the entire family and save 11%. Get it online at marieveronique.com.
