Sunscreen

After spending a lovely day outside yesterday.  I noticed Andrew had a bit of a sunburn on his neck.  We all know that sunscreen causes cancer way more than it prevents it.  So I did some research on my fave website naturalnews.  The Health Ranger suggests using Badger sunscreen so I found a place to buy it at  well.ca  And found they sell some other natural sunscreens too!
I also researched  for some recipes to make your own:
