ButterbeanLS_6
Today’s giveaway is from my close friend, Summer, and her business, Butterbean Organics! I have shared her story here before, and always love having her here! My family uses her sunscreens and I absolutely love them. They are perfect for even my children with the most sensitive skin. Summer has worked very hard to provide an effective and safe sunscreen made with only the very best ingredients!

From Summer

Hi there! Thank you Ginny for giving Butterbean the opportunity to share about our skin care products!

Butterbean Organics was inspired by a mama of 5 who wanted to make skin care products that were healthy for people and the planet. Butterbean’s line of sunscreen, bug spray, and lip balm uses certified organic ingredients that will moisturize and protect even the most sensitive skin.

Butterbean sunscreens have a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30, 80 minutes of water-resistance, and provide broad spectrum protection from UVA/UVB rays. Pure mineral zinc oxide is un-coated and non-nano particle size. Check out Butterbean’s number “1” rating on the Environmental Working Group! Each of our sunscreens are third party tested to ensure quality and care. They are reef safe and biodegradable.

The Original sunscreen is a cream that is perfect for faces and shoulders. We also love this one for our little people because it has the highest percentage of certified organic coconut oil and shea butter. The fragrance is derived entirely from these virgin oils and butters. The local beeswax adds a touch of sweetness that our customers rave about. The pleasant subtle aroma smells good enough to eat!

Simple Sunscreen is our workhorse. It is easy to apply and gets the job done! In addition to coconut oil, Simple sunscreen uses Certified Organic Olive, Sunflower, and Jojoba oils. Silky smooth organic goodness protects the skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

Our sport stick is a mover and a shaker. Packaged in a compostable tube it our most eco-friendly option. This one is easy to stick in a back pocket for park days, beach days and sporting events. This non-whitening sunscreen is a force to be reckoned with.

Bug-a-boo bug spray is better than ever! We use 26% Neem oil and 24% certified organic essential oils to pack a punch to pesky bugs. Our bug spray is soy, gluten, Deet and chemical free.

Coconut oil is renowned for its healing benefits. Our lip balms are full of antioxidants and vitamins that will bring calming relief to lips. This smooth and soothing formula will quickly become a go-to for healthy happy lips!

What makes Butterbean unique as a company is the care we put into each of our products. We handpick only the very best ingredients that are fair trade, certified organic, and local (wherever we can). We use unrefined oils many of which are food grade! Our packaging choices are environmentally friendly and easily recycled. You can find my family hanging out in our basement packing orders together. With the 7 of us we can get quite an assembly line together (well, minus the baby)! Thank you for supporting small business!

Warmly,
Summer
