Summertime Skincare Tips from Kim Walls, MS
1. Did you know that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not require sunscreens to guard against UVA radiation? It is important to block both UVA and UVB rays from penetrating your child's skin, so look for chemical free products that offer full spectrum protection. With an SPF of 35, we are proud of the fact that our Sunny Sunscreen has one of the highest SPF ratings of any all-natural product available today!
2. In addition to preventing sun damage, it is also important to combat the negative effects of increased exposure to pollution in the ocean and air and also by the sheer heat on the skin's surface. Episencial's Sunny Sunscreen is fortified with aloe to help cool the skin, and powerful antioxidants like green tea extract to offset skin problems and prevent lasting damage from sun exposure.
3. Are allergies a part of your family?s life? Enjoying the outdoors increases the potential for contact with allergens such as grasses and pollen. Because your child?s skin reflects what is going on inside his or her body, you can expect to see your child's skin react with bumps, rashes and discoloration. Bothered skin needs special treatment. Before you reach for cortisone cream, try a natural approach such as Episencial's non-steroidal Soothing Cream.
4. The skin's ability to perform essential immune functions can be compromised by the damaging dryness resulting from exposure to chlorine from pools and typical city water supplies. Episencial's Sunny Sunscreen is fortified with organic avocado oil, beeswax and Shea butter to maintain skin hydration and create a water-resistant barrier to reduce absorption of pollutants through the skin to support overall health.
Episencial Sunny Sunscreen offers the safety of a chemical-free formula plus the added health benefits of top-quality skincare. According to the Environmental Working Group database of ingredients for personal care products (http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com), Episencial?s all-natural formulas have among the highest safety ratings for ingredients that target sun damage and prevent sun-induced heat rash. For battling sun exposed skin, dehydration and oil-dry symptoms, Episencial Sunny Sunscreen (SPF 35) is the best defense for babies? tender skin.

About Episencial:
With Episencial products you can begin to instill green values from day one. Sharing these fun and inviting products -- and the care and consideration that goes into making them - with children can serve as a building block for making actively healthy choices for themselves and the planet. Episencial was founded by Kim Walls, M.S., a second-generation skin care expert from the Epicuren family, who couldn't find skin care products for her babies that met her standards for quality and care for the environment - so, she created her own with the help of several moms and dads. Episencial now proudly offers two distinct all natural skin care lines: Epicuren Baby featuring exclusive imagery from renowned artist Anne Geddes and the new Episencial skin care system with artwork from The World of Eric Carle.
Sales of Episencial products benefit the company's philanthropic partner Healthy Child, Healthy World and its mission to protect children from harmful chemicals. For more information, go to http://episencial.com.
