Summer officially begins when your first bug bite appears or your skin turns lobster red unexpectedly after a long day outside. You probably have plenty of sunscreen, bug sprays and other drug store products ready to help aid those summer side effects, but many of those creams, sprays and ointments are packed with unwanted chemicals and non-organic ingredients. This summer season make sure your kiddos reach for natural protectors and remedies instead, from after-bite that’s derived from chamomile oil to a natural lice prevention conditioning spray. Fill your tote with these clean products, made with simple ingredients lists you can get behind, from Amazon and Target.
