Ma Mi Skin Care Sunny Days Sun Block ~ Review and Giveaway

Posted by Jenna | Tuesday, May 17, 2011



Sponsored by Tomoson.com

After 6 months of winter, the kids and I were more than ready to get outdoors the moment the temps were warm enough. Other than the rainy days, we've been able to enjoy several warm days outside already. I love summer and the fact that we get to run around and play outside, but one of my concerns has always been keeping my kids' and my skin safe from the sun. I am picky when it comes to sunblocks because I don't want to use something full of chemicals and harmful toxins. That's why I was excited when introduced to Ma Mi Skin Care and their Safe Mineral Sun Block...great for moms and kids.

Ma Mi Skin Care provides a complete line of natural skin care products that are derived from all-natural, highly active ingredients and are free of harmful additives and fillers including: parabens, toxins, petrolatums and sodium laureth sulfates. Not only is the product line safe for users, but is also environmentally friendly. With an understanding that 'what we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in our bodies', it's no wonder Ma Mi Skin Care's high quality, all-natural products are becoming more and more popular among moms and moms-to-be! With everything from cleansers, exfoliators, moisturizers and sun blocks...you're sure to find something that suits your needs perfectly.

Ma Mi Skin Care recently introduced their new Sunny Days Mineral Sun Block just in time for summer! I was thrilled to learn I was going to have the opportunity to review it and was sent a travel size to try out.
Benefits:

  • Anti-UV-A, UV-B and Infrared
  • Anti-MMP (sun-induced collagen damage)
  • Paraben-free, Fragrance-free, PABA-free, Non-comedogenic
  • Potent Antioxidant, anti-ollution and strong anti-inflammatory
  • For all skin types, including sensitive or rosacea-prone skin
I was very pleased with the size of the Sunny Days bottle. It's perfect for throwing in my purse, the diaper bag, beach bag, etc....and couldn't be better for summer travel.

I was pleased to learn that the new mineral sun block has a technologically advanced formula that will promote anti-oxidant activity within the skin while protecting against sun damage. It's rated SPF 30 which is perfect for both the kids and I. Of course, one of the biggest positives is that it is a physical sun block that serves as a safe alternative to chemical sun block products that include Benzophenone which can pose health risks for pregnant women, breastfeeding moms and children.

The kids and I both have sensitive skin, so I was curious to see how the Sunny Days Sun Block would work. Putting it on, I was impressed that it wasn't greasy or runny. It went on smoothly and seemed to cover and spread over our skin well. It seems to be very gentle and protects us from the sun well.

Sunny Days utilizes the mineral Titanium Dioxide along with Plant-Derived Peptides and Green Tea Polyphenols to form a natural, protective layer on the skin to provide protection against UV-A, UV_B and infrared rays. It's effectiveness and gentleness has really impressed me. I love having a product that's great for all skin types, including children! In fact, it’s so gentle it can be used to protect the delicate eye area, recent scars (c-section), etc. I also appreciate that it's fragrance free, as I am sensitive to many products that have fragrance.

Overall we've been very pleased with the Sunny Days Sun Block! I would definitely recommend it to those looking for a safe alternative to the chemical filled products out there. The Travel Size is especially nice for using quickly on places like the cheeks, shoulders, etc, but at some point I'd love the full size Sunny Days product, which would be great for use on the whole body.

Key ingredients include:
  • Titanium Dioxide- provides maximum broad spectrum protection against a of UV-A, UV-B and infrared rays.
  • Plant-derived Peptides and Green Tea Polyphenols protect the skin from collagen degrading effects of UV-induced collagenase. This activity can help delay early skin aging characterized by wrinkle formation, reduced elasticity, skin dryness and age spots.
  • Beta-Carotene and Vitamin A + E- guards skin from UV and pollution-induced free radical damage.
  • Aloe Vera, Natural Oils and a sugar-based emulsifier - help moisturize and soothe exposed skin without clogging pores.
Buy It: You can purchase the Sunny Days Travel Size Sun Block for $6.
