Summer Splash! Beyond Coastal Sunblock Review & Giveaway


Its that time of year again! School is out and my family will be hitting the beach every chance we can get. But even before it gets warm enough for that, we will still be spending lots of time outside at soccer games, nature walks, bike rides and more. If we're going to be outside, its important to have a good sunscreen that can protect my kids from harmful UV rays. Buts its also important that the ingredients used in that sunscreen aren't just as harmful as the sunburn I'm trying to prevent. The Natural sunscreens from Beyond Coastal are the perfect sunblocks for my family.  Its Paraben free and will keep my kid's skin protected.


For our review, we received the kids and adult sunscreens to try out. There were lots of things I liked about this product, in addition to it being a more natural alternative. First of all, its not at all greasy or sticky when its applied. I also like the scent. It was very light and doesn't smell like chemicals. It almost feels like you're applying regular skin cream. It addition, its water proof and sweat resistant. So we're good at the beach and at soccer games.  And of course, most importantly, it worked perfectly. There was not one speck of sunburn on me or the kids even after a full eight hours in the sun without reapplying. When you're done at the beach, they also have a after sun product to help keep your skin smooth and healthy.

One lucky winner is going to receive a The Sample Natural pack to try out for themselves. To enter, just visit Beyond Coastal and tell me something you learned.
