🌿 Ingredients: Just seven: organic coconut oil, organic shea butter, organic mango butter, non-nano zinc oxide (a mineral that sits on top of your skin and reflects the sun), non-GMO grapeseed oil, organic vitamin E and organic beeswax. Almost all certified organic.

📦 Packaging: Glass jars (2, 4, 6 or 8 oz) or a 3 oz paperboard tube. For the beach, pick the paperboard tube, since many Florida beaches don’t allow glass. There’s also a 2 oz squeeze bottle, but that one is plastic, so skip it.

🚩 Heads-up: The brand page doesn’t list an SPF number. The Amazon listing says SPF 45+. The brand says it beads off in water, so reapply after swimming.

📦 Packaging: Spray bottle. Lemongrass Farms’ current listing doesn’t say what the bottle is made of.

✨ Terra: Bamboo baby wipes with kiwifruit extract, fragrance-free. Packs of 70 wipes.

🍃 Ingredients (as listed by Terra): cloth: FSC-certified bamboo fibre (not bamboo viscose); liquid: 99% purified New Zealand water, kiwifruit extract, hydrolyzed soy protein (a softening protein from soy).

💚 Progress Over Perfection: Nothing to flag. Every ingredient is plant-based or water.

📦 Packaging: Soft pack with a lid Terra describes as plant-based and recycled. Terra doesn’t say what the pack itself is made of, so we can’t call it plastic-free.

✨ ATTITUDE: Sunly mineral sunscreen stick, SPF 30, broad spectrum, Orange Blossom scent. 60 g (2.1 oz).

🍃 Ingredients (as listed by ATTITUDE on its sunscreen label): active: zinc oxide 20% (non-nano). Inactive: grape seed oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride (from coconut oil), coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, polyhydroxystearic acid, sunflower seed wax, behenyl behenate, castor seed oil, mica, coco-caprylate/caprate, shea butter, glyceryl behenate, candelilla wax, capryloyl glycerin/sebacic acid copolymer, silica, methyldihydrojasmonate, pentadecalactone, phenethyl acetate, triethyl citrate, vanillin (the last five make up the fragrance).

✅ The Good: Mineral sun protection from non-nano zinc oxide, in a base of plant oils, butters and waxes.

💚 Progress Over Perfection: The scent is a fragrance blend that ATTITUDE spells out in full, which we appreciate. Methyldihydrojasmonate is listed as synthetic, and pentadecalactone is a musk scent usually made in a lab. It also has two lab-made helpers: polyhydroxystearic acid (keeps the zinc spread evenly) and a capryloyl glycerin/sebacic acid copolymer (a film-former).

📦 Packaging: ATTITUDE labels this stick plastic-free.
