Long term soil experiments are one of the array of scientific approaches used to increase the understanding of changes in soil properties and soil-environment interactions that help in soil management to meet the challenges of doubling food production from the soil. The Samaru Long-term trial, modelled after the classical Rothamsted trial in England, is the oldest Long Term soil trial in Africa. This study investigated the influence of long term application of Dung (D), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) on soil morphological and physical parameters: soil texture, wilting point, field capacity, saturation, available water, saturated hydraulic conductivity, bulk density and depth. From the laboratory results of particle size analysis, SPAW: field and pond hydrology (USDA-ARS and WSU-BSysE) version 6.1.52 was used in determining other soil physical properties. SAS was used in analysis of variance and differences in means were separated using the Turkey?s Studentized range (HSD) test.

A faulty ABS module is one of those repairs that a lot of older cars will need, but not one that we expect to take a large chunk of our car repair budget.
Not long after we purchased our 1999 Volvo V70, the check engine light came on which is pretty typical on a used car. We ignored until the ABS light started occasionally lighting up, which made cruise control stop working. The light would stay on until we turned the car off, and then it would turn off about 50% of the time. After a few more months, other lights would show up on the dashboard. Even though we couldn't find anything in the engine that indicated a reason. When the speedometer and odometer started dropping out while on the interstate, we decided to finally fix the faulty ABS module.
The good news? The symptoms slowly increased over a period of ten months. Our local repair shop checked the car early on in the process and gave the go ahead to keep driving, telling us that the symptoms would slowly increase over time. We had a price estimate and were able to mentally and financially prepare for a major repair without it hurting as much as an emergency repair would.
Initial: Check Engine Light, ABS Light,
After 10 months: Speedometer and Odometer would drop out while driving. Car switched into what felt like third gear while accelerating. Loss of power when accelerating up hills and from stops.
Repair: ABS Module Replacement at Franklin Automotive in Birmingham, Alabama.
Cost: $564 ($250 for parts, $264 for labor)
If you're the type to DIY advanced car repairs, there are a few websites that give instructions on how to replace or repair the module yourself. My husband and I like to leave it to the experts who provide warranties for repairs.
If you're in the California, Oregon, and Washington states, you can find certified service providers on Carhelp.com.

With notable linebackers such as Paul Whitmill, Edwin Freeman and Duke Riley in attendance, it was Keeley who continued to flourish in every drill. Although he didn't test as well as the aforementioned players, when it came to basic football drills the 6-foot-3, 200-pounder more than held his own.
Keeley is a do -it-all player for the Class 2-1A Leopards as a runningback, linebacker and punter. On offense Keeley totaled 1,054 yards and 11 scores while racking up 89 tackles, 1 sack and an impressive 7 interceptions on defense. For his efforts Keeley was named All-State.
Keeley's athleticism was on display Friday afternoon as he drew praise from head coach Gary Patterson and various assistant coaches at the TCU camp. The Kansas native had a good time at his second camp this summer.
"This is the second camp I've been to other than K-State (Kansas State) and this one there was probably 200 more people here, it was eye opening with the talent level," Keeley said. "It was a lot better, it was good to come out here and compete with the guys that have intentions of playing at the next level."
Whether it was against a tight end or runningback during one-on-one drills, Keeley displayed good cover skills (he ran a 4.33 shuttle) and good strength when it came time to press his opponents. His performance led to extra attention from the coaches.
"They were telling me that I have good feet for my size and that I have good knowledge of the game and I was putting out a lot of effort and standing out above everyone else," he said.
Keeley said he accomplished what he set out to do and that was landing on the Frogs' radar. He already has a close connection to TCU and hopes to keep building his relationship with the program in the future.
"Actually, Coach Patterson and my dad went to college together so that's the connection we have to TCU," he said. "We also came down to one of their games last year against SMU and really liked the facilities. I wanted to come down here and show them what I had."
Kansas State has shown the most interest out of any D-1 programs and Keeley says an offer could be coming from the Wildcats.
"They really like me too and they're going to continue talking to me in the fall," he said. "As long as I continue to improve the interest is going to go up."
Keeley has an offer from South Dakota among other D-2 schools at the moment. If he continues to play like he did on Friday, a D-1 offer could be around the corner.

Benefits of Whey Protein:
Comments are available in the bottom of the Article
In recent years, the subject of whey protein has come up often in health discussions. Know what whey protein is, its possible benefits and side effects and more as you read on.What is Whey Protein Whey protein is actually a term used to describe a group of globular proteins that can be separated from whey. When cows milk is used to manufacture cheese, it also leads to the production of whey, which may or may not be discarded. It is a mixture of lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin and serum albumin. Similar to protein found in egg white, whey protein can also be irreversibly changed by heat. When made part of the pasteurization process, it becomes less bio-active. If not, whey protein naturally becomes bio-active which basically means it contains a high concentration of cysteine and consequently glutathione, an antioxidant that is essential to improved fitness and health. Bio-active whey protein is an active source for protein but exposure to extreme heat can easily reduce the amount of cysteine in it without affecting its protein content and basic food value. Native whey protein What Makes It Good for the Body Because whey protein contains an inordinate amount of essential and non-essential acids, it frequently plays a prominent role in most low-carb and high-protein diets. Another reason for this is because of its low content of fats and of course, carbohydrates. Why Pregnant Mothers Love Whey Protein A number of OBs have advised their gravid patients to increase their intake of whey protein because it will provide the basic amount of amino acids needed by the growing infants inside their bodies. An increased intake of whey protein will naturally improve and speed up the development of the baby. Also, increased intake of whey protein will indirectly improve the immune system of the baby. In its growing stages, it is highly vulnerable to different types of illnesses. With the help of whey protein, it grow faster and better and more equipped to defend itself against any health complication. Whey Protein for Bodybuilding Enthusiasts For bodybuilders, muscle growth is everything and thats why they love whey protein so much. Studies have satisfactorily proven that whey protein can lead to acceleration of muscle development. This is welcomed news especially for bodybuilders who are only a few weeks away from the date of competition but is still in high need of muscle growth. How it Helps Athletes Busy Recovering from Old Injuries In this case, whey protein saves the day once more because it can be used to supplement diets of individuals who are suffering from compromised immune systems. Basically, it helps athletes heal faster and feel better. A Weapon against Degenerative Diseases Although you cant truly say that any disease is less painful than the other if both have life-altering consequences, it is an inarguable fact however that degenerative diseases are one of the worst health complications to suffer from. These illnesses tend to subject people to a protracted form of suffering and with symptoms with increasing levels of severity. They commonly affect three systems in particular: the nervous system, the muscular system and the skeletal system. Although rarely curable, degenerative diseases can be treated through chemotherapy, surgical operations and the proper diet. Whey protein is often a part of this diet because of its rehabilitative benefits especially when it comes to muscle growth. Cancer, diabetes and AIDS have symptoms that causes muscle strength and growth to deteriorate an undesirable effect that can be combated with increased intake of whey protein. Where to Buy Whey Protein Are you sufficiently convinced of the benefits of whey protein then? If so, you should be happy to know that you can avail of commercial whey protein product in most supermarkets and specialty food stores specializing in healthy food. Ending with a Warning Whey protein is good for the body no doubt about it but too much consumption of anything is never beneficial. Too much intake of whey protein can lead to unnecessary complications of your liver. And need we remind you that the liver is the next most important organ in the body? Lastly, lactose intolerant individuals must consume whey protein isolate rather than the normal variety as the former has less lactose content.

text: News Abandoned Jack Russell terrier dubbed 'Super Mom' after giving birth to 9 puppies in the woods A Jack Russell terrier was rescued this week after delivering and caring for a litter of nine puppies in the woods. (Credit: News 12 New Jersey) Like Tweet Share Pin Email 0 Comments Updated June 12, 2014 8:30 PM TOMS RIVER - A Jack Russell terrier who may have been dumped by her owner was rescued this week after delivering and caring for a litter of nine puppies in the woods. Animal control officers are amazed at how well the puppies are doing despite how they came into the world. "Their body conditions are excellent," says Jim Bowen, of Toms River Animal Control. "Their body weight is very good, which tells me again mom was an excellent mother and nurturer." A woman and her kids spotted the Toms River "Super Mom" dangerously close to a roadway with two of her puppies. Police were called and searched the woods. Animal control officer Dale Beley says they came across a den the dog made under pine branches to keep her babies safe. "She went under and dug out," Beley says. "You can see two indentations under the trees, and when we found them, the puppies were huddled in those two holes there." The puppies were living in the den for about four weeks, just feet from busy Hooper Avenue. "They basically revert to instinct," says Beley. "We don't know how long she was out here, but it had to be in our opinion, months." Officers say the mother was able to protect the puppies from potential predators like raccoons, foxes and coyotes. Animal officers say the mom was wearing a harness, a sign she was once someone's pet. Like her pups, she was loaded with ticks. They say with rest and antibiotics, she should be OK. If an owner does not come forward, the puppies and mom should be available for adoption in a few weeks.

Gemini replied to Jennifer S.'s topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithAlthough this was an incredibly informative and great post, I only took exception to one thing you said and that is what I put in bold lettering above. Eating gluten free is very healthy, if done correctly. The Western American diet is very unhealthy but it doesn't have to be either. If you feel badly after being on the gluten-free diet for awhile, you either have an intolerance or allergy to something you are eating or you are not eating the right foods....gluten-free or not. I am glad they found out you had Celiac, even though most people do not want that news. The things that can happen from going a long time undiagnosed are not pretty and can cause more grief than Celiac itself.
Gemini replied to Vanillabean's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsGertrude.....just a few comments after reading your posts..........no other disease but Celiac disease will cause a positive on the EMA test. I have never heard of a false positive on that either. It is a test that is done by hand and not by a machine because of the way it has to be done, so having a false positive is almost impossible. Your doctor should have known that. Many people trip just 1 or 2 tests on the panel and they have Celiac Disease. With autoimmune testing, you can test 2 different people with Celiac Disease and they can have wildly different test results. Couple those with a positive gene test and the likelihood of it being Celiac is almost 100%. The fact that the doc didn't find villus atrophy just means the damage is not extensive enough for them to find.......yet. I am sure they would prefer you to keep eating gluten until that happens but you do not want to do that. So.........after you have been gluten-free for awhile, have them run the Celiac panel again to see if your EMA goes to normal, which it should if you eat very gluten free. With positive gene results, positives on your Celiac antibody testing, and positive dietary response, that is a diagnosis!
I have always noticed that the table wine in Europe is pretty damn good! I am a wine lover and so is my husband but he does like his Green's beer.
Gemini replied to Washingtonmama's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)The reason they set the limit at 20ppms is that through scientific study, they have proven that the vast majority of people with Celiac Disease do not have an autoimmune reaction to amounts below that......it is a safe limit for most. Also, just because that limit is set at 20ppms, does not mean that gluten-free products contain that amount of gluten. Testing for lower levels becomes more expensive with each increment down closer to 0-5ppms, which translates into higher priced products. Unless you eat a lot of processed gluten-free food, which can have a cumulative affect for some, most people do well with the 20ppm limit.
WHAT??????? No Green's beer in Belgium????????? Do they export all of it? My husband loves Green's beer and says it is the only decent gluten-free beer made. He's tried quite a few but none of them compare to Green's. Thank you for this detailed report. Sounds like you had a lovely time. Happy Belated Birthday!
Gemini replied to marren27's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)Anyone who is still young should be able to recover bone density without taking those horrible meds they like to push on people. You still have your hormones, which play an instrumental role in bone formation. Getting plenty of calcium, magnesium and Vit.D and K2 is a good place to start and then do weight bearing exercises for good measure. For women, you need to weigh at least 126 pounds to make bone on your own and for men its around 145. Anyone weighing less than that should absolutely be exercising on a regular basis to make up for the lower weight. I stopped the progression of my osteoporosis in my spine by doing weight training. It hasn't gotten better, that I know of, but has remained stable. I will not take the meds because too many doctors and dentists told me not to. They see the side effects from them, plus the side effects are more serious in younger people......meaning anyone under 75 years old. They are probably warranted to take if you are 75 or older because losing bone mass really accelerates at that age, if you have the problem. But if you are under 40, don't sweat it. It's that youth thing....you can inflict abuse on your body and it still bounces back!
Gemini replied to dalek100's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsYes, 2 slices of bread per day and sandwiches should be enough to test correctly. I would hate to have you get really, really sick because you ate more gluten than needed for testing. But keep it up and make sure to eat that amount every day....as hard as that is, I know. Your other symptoms are all symptoms of Celiac and if the diabetes your mother has is Type 1, that is the one that is autoimmune and highly linked to Celiac. If you failed the complete Celiac panel testing by high numbers, then that should be enough to diagnose, with the symptoms you are having, but if they only did one antibody test, then the endoscopy might be demanded before they give you a diagnosis. However, damage can be patchy so it has happened that people can have a negative biopsy even with active Celiac Disease. This is why it is best to have as many samples taken from different parts of the small intestine as possible. Be pushy about testing and don't let them make you wait a long time. That really is unacceptable. Would it be possible to have them do a full Celiac blood panel on you? I forgot to add that you need never apologize for posting here. We are here to help so ask as many questions as you like.
Gemini replied to KathleenH's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)Type 1 diabetes and Celiac share the same genetics...they are both a DQ-2 gene. Different alleles on the gene strand but they are like cousins in the gene world, if I understand the explanation correctly. This is why Type 1 diabetes is one of the bigger AI diseases that occurs more frequently with Celiac. It does not mean a Celiac will end up with diabetes but the risk is much higher. If you follow the gluten-free diet well and do not cheat, I think it lowers your chances of tripping for it. My brother's granddaughter was diagnosed with Type 1 last year at the age of 16 so now she will be tested regularly for Celiac. Her mother, my brother's daughter, has Celiac also. Genetics can just suck sometimes.......
Gemini replied to KathleenH's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)I have never heard of night sweats being a symptom of diabetes but they can happen with undiagnosed Celiac or the newly diagnosed who have not yet healed. Celiac really screws up all your bodily functions and hormones are usually the first target....like thyroid disease. You are far too young for it to be menopause. But many people have complained about this symptom so give it some time as they may go away once you are feeling better and your body is working well again. I am glad you are seeing a nutritionist so hopefully, they will order a blood sugar test. I wouldn't get all worked about diabetes, though. Sometimes all these symptoms are just from Celiac and they will eventually go away once your body starts healing. If I can heal well at my age, you will too!
Gemini replied to KathleenH's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)Hi Kathleen.....the sentence above caught my attention. If you are still having these symptoms, you really need to have your blood sugar checked, STAT. These are signs of diabetes. I am not trying to scare you but my brother was a Type 1 diabetic and he was diagnosed when these very symptoms drove him to go to the doctors. Something to keep in mind if this keeps happening. Good luck with your veterinary studies. I love animals too and they are my favorite.....all that unconditional love they give.

Gemini replied to emma6's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchEmma.........I also have Reynaud's. It did improve on the gluten-free diet so symptoms are not as severe as they were when I not diagnosed with Celiac. Remember....all this BS is caused by too much inflammation in the body, which the root cause of is Celiac. Tame down inflammation with the right diet and symptoms lessen for everything else. That was my experience. Sounds like you have a good doc because they never look for Sjogren's. I had to figure it out myself and then testing proved me correct, unfortunately. My feelings on meds is if your symptoms are bothering you tremendously and impinge on living a normal life, then you can talk to your doc about it. I do not like taking meds and have never bothered with them. I have severe symptoms too but it's been like this for so very long, it is my normal. Symptoms can be mild to severe and it's up to you what you decide to do about them. I treat symptoms myself and use the Biotene line of products to help with the dryness in my mouth. Biotene mouthwash is fantastic........it has a really clean minty taste without being overpowering. It's very soothing on your mouth because it contains no alcohol, like most mouthwashes do. It's specifically formulated for dry mouth symptoms. For my very dry eyes, I have to use Restasis eye drops (Rx). I tried going off of them and my eyes got really bad so I have had to accept using them probably for the rest of my life. They work really well for me, which is good because I hate using them. There is no pain with it but annoyance that I am dependent on them for better eye comfort. I would also suggest regular exercise to help with the circulation issues. I must admit, I do not go to doctor's all that much. I do not go to Rheumatologist's because they all seem to push meds. I also do not want to spend the rest of my life jumping from one doc to another. When you have multiple autoimmune problems, they want you to see someone for every problem. I find that eating really clean and healthy, regular exercise, and trying as hard as one can to mitigate stress, goes a long way to me feeling good. But if you need to take something because of your symptoms, then do what you need to do for comfort. Everyone has their own level..... Please keep us updated. It is not often I meet another person with, potentially, the same AI problems I have. If you ever develop Hashi's thyroid disease, we would be identical AI twins! Sorry for the humor but sometimes you have to laugh about it or it drives you crazy. Good luck with your testing!
Gemini replied to ravenwoodglass's topic in Gab/Chat Room - To Discuss Anything BUT Celiac Disease / Gluten-Free DietThe vaccine does not prevent you from getting shingles, it just keeps it from hitting you as hard. I do not think insurance will even cover it unless you are 62 years or older.....unless that has changed. My doc did not recommend it when I had the problem. She had many patients who got the vaccine and then ended up with shingles down the road. There is no guarantee with it. Shingles are caused by stress and being run down....even if you don't feel run down. It is becoming very common in young people and the doctor who initially saw me when it happened was very young and said it is NOT a problem of aging. Many doctors, including herself, popped with it while in med school because of the crazy schedules they do. The best way to prevent shingles is not to let yourself become run down. Get enough sleep, eat well and try to mitigate stress.......ha, ha....like that is an easy thing to do sometimes. Mine happened after I started absorbing better with my thyroid hormone. I went hyper-thyroid so bad and they told me to stop thyroid hormone for 4 days, then they would readjust the dose. Well, trying to find the correct dose after healing is not easy and I went from hyper to hypo and BAM! Shingles. It's been 8 years and nary a sign of them. I was lucky in that I did not have much pain with it and thought it was from taking the anti-viral so quickly. I hope that is your experience, Raven, and the pain goes away quickly!
Gemini replied to gertrude's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsGood one, Jmg! Ha, Ha! I love Tom Jones!
Gemini replied to ravenwoodglass's topic in Gab/Chat Room - To Discuss Anything BUT Celiac Disease / Gluten-Free DietI am so sorry you are suffering with this, Raven. I agree with jmg.........I hope you were put on an anti-viral because they really work well to dampen the severity of shingles. I took Acyclovir myself when I had shingles 8 years ago and it worked great. Knocked it down so the pain was not bad at all. You have to start the drug within 72 hours of first symptoms for it to be really affective. I took the generic version because it was gluten free. I never needed anything for the pain. Hope you feel better soon!

Attorney General Jeff Sessions toured the U.S.-Mexico border Tuesday and unveiled what he described as a new get-tough approach to immigration prosecutions under President Donald Trump.
The nation's top law enforcement official outlined a series of changes that he said mark the start of a new push to rid American cities and the border of what he described as "filth" brought on by drug cartels and criminal organizations.
The tour included visiting a port of entry, where Sessions exited an SUV in a white shirt and baseball cap before entering a restricted area.

Over the years I have recreated a Father's Day present for JDubbs to show how our kids have grown over time, and it occurred to me that perhaps others would want to get in on the fun as well! After all, I have the letters, and a beautiful town for photos! So why not do another round of mini sessions, this time in celebration of Father's Day?
Below are the details to take advantage of this very special opportunity!
The mini sessions will take place Saturday, May 30th (with a potential rain date of Sunday, May 31st) and Monday, June 1st (with a rain date of June 2nd) from 5-7 pm in Quechee. I will be in an assigned spot and you will meet me there at your appointed time. Each slot will be 15 minutes and will be portraits of your loved ones holding the light blue letters D-A-D and one group shot. You will be assigned a time slot for which you cannot cancel or miss. Once you sign your contract, you are obligated to pay the $40 fee or find someone to fill in for you if you cannot attend. Your slot cannot be rescheduled.
Here is what the package will entail:
– One 15 minute session
– 4 full resolution digital images for you to print at your leisure sent via digital download. We will spend the last few minutes of the shoot selecting your images to edit.
– The opportunity to make a la carte purchases from the Rebecca Whitney Photography gallery, including digital downloads, until the end of June 2015.
The slots will be filled in the order in which people responded to the Upper Valley Kid Swap post, first come first serve.
I am looking forward to working with you to create lasting gifts that your loved ones will cherish for a lifetime!

Best Sunscreen for Babies
Everybody needs their Vitamin D, and getting a dose of sunshine is the best way to get it. But as we all know too much of a good thing can be painful. Watching your little one suffer from sunburn would be terrible. And the long-term impact of too much sun exposure is cancer. Scary stuff.
Enter: Sunscreen.
Do you need sunscreen?
Whether your child needs sunscreen depends on your type of outdoor activity. You can employ other preventive measures like outfitting your baby in light, breathable long sleeves and long pants, seeking out shade (or making your own with a beach or shade tent), and avoiding times of intense rays between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., which is exactly what the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends for babies less than six months old.
Another great idea is dressing your baby in clothing with built-in sun protection. Look for rompers, one-piece sun suits, and rash guards (long or short sleeved bathing-suit-like tops) with UPF 30 or higher. UPF-rated clothing, which means ultraviolet protection factor, shields your wee one from both UVA and UVB rays.
Even if your baby is wearing UPF clothing, you'll need sunscreen for the skin that's still exposed. And, we hate to break it to you, but older babies and toddlers aren't going to be content to just roll around in the shade tent you bring along to the beach. They will demand to play in the sand and splash in the water – can you blame them?
Since a sunburn can happen in as little as 10 minutes – depending on how fair skin is and the time of day – we're guessing you'll want to have a baby-friendly sunscreen handy.
What type of sunscreen is best?
When choosing a sunscreen to use on your child, look for these five key components:
1. Broad-spectrum coverage
Since UVB rays cause sunburns and UVA rays can prematurely age skin and cause melanoma, choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect from both types of rays.
2. Natural ingredients
Chemicals like oxybenzone and octisalate are often used in sunscreens and work by sinking into the skin and then absorbing and deferring UV rays. They can potentially irritate sensitive skin, and the jury is still out on whether they can have long-term adverse effects on little ones (oxybenzone is known to be a hormone disrupter). So it's best to go with natural blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These minerals sit on top of the skin and reflect away both UVA and UVB rays (a.k.a. broad-spectrum coverage).
3. Water resistant
There's no such thing as a waterproof sunscreen. But ones labeled "water resistant" will stand up to sweat and water for either 40 or 80 minutes (check the label to see what the specific formula provides). You will need to reapply sunscreen after this time period.
4. At least SPF 15
This is the minimum number that will protect against burns and cancer-causing rays. Consider lower SPFs useless. You can go up to SPF 30, but higher than that and the amount of increased protection is minor.
5. A cream type
Sunblocks come in sticks, sprays, and creams. Sprays can make application easy on an antsy toddler, but they still need to be rubbed in order to provide adequate coverage. Plus, their small particles can be inhaled. (Gross.) Most importantly, parents often don't apply enough sunscreen when using a spray, and a burn can result. Although creams take more time to apply, they're worth it to make sure your baby is fully covered.
Below are some sunscreens to consider. They all use mineral sun blockers and are highly rated by the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit that helps parents protect children from harmful chemicals. You may find that one of these popular picks works great for you and your family too.
Clear Winner
It's a minor miracle when a zinc oxide sunscreen goes on smooth and clear and doesn't feel greasy. That's why we're head over heels for Thinkbaby's formula. Just because it's easy to apply doesn't mean it's skimpy on sun protection: it's packed with 20% zinc oxide and water resistant for up to 80 minutes.
Most kids and parents like the tropical papaya smell of the lotion. But if fragrance drives you nuts, this isn't the sunscreen for you.
Health Food Store Fave
Made with 87% certified organic ingredients, this sunscreen also has soothing antioxidants like goji berry and pomegranate extract to condition skin. A fragrance-free mix of 6% titanium and 6% zinc oxide physically blocks the sun.
Like most mineral sunscreens, this formula is thick and greasy and leaves a white cast on the skin. Knead the bottle before squeezing out the contents to make sure it doesn't come out separated. (It tends to separate into an oil and a solid like natural peanut butter).
Strong & Pure
Adorable Baby's 24% zinc oxide formula also goes on clear (yay!) so it won't make your child look like a ghost. And the sunscreen's all natural ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, and grape seed oil are moisturizing (read: slick).
Two downers: It's only water resistant for 40 minutes, and it's hard to squeeze out of the bottle.
For Hyper-Reactive Skin
Sensitive types rejoice. This sunscreen has no fragrance and is PABA free. With 12% titanium dioxide, it protects fast-burning skin and is water resistant for up to 80 minutes.
Since this sunscreen has a cream cheese-like consistency, the application is a process. Even after extra rubbing in, the sunscreen will likely still leave a pale cast on your little one's skin.
Splurge Worthy
It doesn't get much simpler than this formula that uses both zinc oxide (12%) and titanium dioxide (6%) with only five other natural ingredients. But make no mistake, this sunscreen isn't a pushover. It provides a strong shield against the sun.
Like most sunscreens that use mineral sunblockers, you need to put more muscle into rubbing in this formula, and it's only water resistant for 40 minutes. Also, it's the priciest of the bunch and can only be found at higher-end outlets like Neiman Marcus and Sephora or ordered online.
Choosing What's Right for You
Whether you pick up a drugstore bottle or swing by Neiman's for sunblock, what matters most is having one on hand for whenever your baby will be exposed to intense sunlight. Rather than worrying about how much time your child has been outside, you can relax and catch all those super-cute, Instagram shots of him frolicking in the grass or on the sand.
