Biodegradable Sunscreen for Welcome/OOT Bags?

Lauren DC123 · June 7, 2013

Hi fellow brides!

I've been searching the forums to see any recent posts about the best places to buy biodegradable sunscreen for our wedding guests, but I can't seem to find anything recent. I'm looking for biodegradable sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30 to put into our welcome bags. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd appreciate all thoughts!

I've used Badger brand on my kids and liked it a lot.

Hi Lauren,

You can buy it here in walmart or other supermarkets since there is a lot of parks that does not allow regular sunscreen so it is easy to find them here. But if you find them on line like Steph suggest, much better!

Hello brides,

I have provided links to a few biodegradable sunscreen brands. The site below is approved by the eco-parks and tours in the Cancun area. The bottle has "biodegradable" boldly printed for park staff and tour guides to see. They offer biodegradable packets for $0.99. They do not have travel size bottles, and the 8 oz. bottles are a bit spendy ($18). I think I will purchase a packet or 2 for each OOT bag. I will also purchase 1 bottle that I will keep and let my guests know that I have it and they can borrow it if they take an excursion. This company also offers eco-friendly insect wipes and spray.

Here are some of the other good brands, although the packaging is not always as obvious and it may take some convincing staff that these truly are biodegradable.
