I spent an inordinate amount of time researching sunscreens this summer, and finally decided to try TruKid, based on the EWG guide and reviews. It's such an improvement over similar types of "safe" sunscreens. It goes on much smoother, it's not sticky or tacky, and the white haze disappears easily once it's rubbed in or once a little time has passed. (My 3-year-old does NOT sit still for me to rub it in, so usually I just slather it on her and wait for the whiteness to fade-which it does, pretty quickly.)Each of the other "safe" sunscreens I tried or read about had some kind of downside-usually regarding the whiteness, the consistency, the difficulty rubbing it in, that it stained clothes, or the scent. I can't find a downside to this one except the price, which is on the high side for the amount of sunscreen you get.
It's true that this is a very small tube-about the size of a wide toothpaste tube-and you're instructed to use a "handful" of it each time you apply, so don't expect it to last the whole summer. It's a handy size to keep in a pocketbook, though. When I reorder, I'll order the two-pack.
Because the order was filled by the company, it also arrived with samples of their shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. A nice touch!
We have bought a number of bottles of this product from Trukid. We like the smell and the supposed 'safety' factor of the ingredients. The price is a bit outlandish but we pay it. The only real complaint I have is that you have to be very vigilant about re-application and *very* thorough in that application. The product doesn't work nearly as easily/long as the store-bought, spray on sunscreens.
Then again you aren't coating your kids in noxious crap ... or at least not nearly as noxious.
So re-apply often and put it on thick and it does work!
Buy Trukid Sunny Days SPF 30+ Natural Sunscreen: 2.0 Oz Tube (Does NOT Contain Vit. A) Now
Great product!Rubbed in easily and completely and didn't smell or feel weird on my skin.Will definitely buy from this company again.:)This is a great product that goes on fairly easily (for a Titanium dioxide lotion -they are all somewhat hard to rub in).It smells good, and it seems to work.But 2 ounces for $10? Seriously?I ordered 3 tubes, and had not really registered how small an amount of product 2 ounces was until we got it.The kids like it, but it'll be used up in a week or two, since they are out all day and have to reapply at least once.Can titanium dioxide really be that expensive to make?

We've purchased Tru Kids products from Whole Foods or directly for a few years now and I'm very pleased with them. My two boys have sensitive skin and we've had good success with the entire line--sunscreens to body wash. My 9 year old son will only use their Happy Face Wash as others have either "smelled funny" or actually stung his eyes--even products formulated for children with sensitive skin! I like the company too. I've written emails a few times asking questions and they are prompt to respond which is much appreciated because it tells me they care. We will continue to purchase these items either directly , Whole Foods and now, at Amazon.com, where I'm happy to learn that at least part of the product line is available.
