KINeSYS Suncreen Review

by admin on May 31, 2009

Living in Florida it is HOT, and the sun is always shining. Believe it or not, this usually keeps us indoors as I know the harmful effects that UV rays have, and it is often a hassle to put on sunscreen (though I still do it).

Thanks to the Family Review Network and KINeSYS Sunscreen I got the opportunity to review 2 different sunscreens from KINeSYS.

I received both the 4 oz. KIDS SPF 30 Alcohol free Sunscreen Spray (orange bottle) and a 1 oz.  SPF 30 Girl Sunscreen Spray (pink bottle).

All KINeSYS skin care products are:

• Broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection with Parsol® 1789

• Oil-free / Alcohol-free / PABA-free

• Water-resistant / Sweat-resistant

• Hypoallergenic / Non-comedogenic

• Fragrance-free

. Preservative Free

I love how easy it is to apply KINeSYS sunscreen in the spray bottle. The formula is not greasy and absorbs easily into the skin. This makes for a ton less mess (I always hate how my hands feel after I apply sunscreen from a tube) and the ease of use makes me want to apply it more often. The bottles are very lightweight and can easily fit in your purse, beach bag or backpack.

Even though the SPF 30 Girl Sunscreen Spray is marketed towards younger girls, I LOVE the Green Tea and Vanilla fragrance it has! I want to spray it everywhere just to smell that scent…I don’t think I have ever said that before about another sunscreen.

KINeSYS is also a green company, and I love that-

KINeSYS was founded on the principles of the Three R’s – reduce, reuse and recycle. Our bottles are 100% recyclable High Density Polyethylene (Bisphenol-A free). We shun excess packaging whenever possible and when necessary we use cardboard that is a minimum of 40% post-consumer recycled board. We do not use ingredients that accumulate in the body or the environment and print using vegetable-based inks when available. We source locally as much as possible to reduce fuel use. We love our planet and for that reason alone, we don’t test on animals.

You can purchase KINeSYS online through their online store. A 4 oz. bottles retail for $18.99, and the 1 oz. is $6.99.

Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Decor Canister Review

by admin on April 14, 2009

If you read my blog, you already know I am a HUGE fan of Clorox, especially their disinfecting wipes.

I was perfectly content with the old wipes (canister), until I got the opportunity from Clorox and the Family Review Network to review the New Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Decor Canisters.

cloroxwipes3

The new Clorox Decor Canisters contain the original Disinfecting Wipes, and come in both Lemon and Fresh scents in 8 different Canister choices.

I found it very easy to find a canister to fit my decor. I have the leaves pattern in my bathroom, the purple in the guest bathroom, and the floral pattern in my office.

I love how the canister just kind of blends in and it isn’t super obvious at first glance that they are Clorox wipes.

I think my favorite new feature of the cansiter is how easy they are to remove. I know sometimes in the old cansister that I had to struggle to get one out or would get multiple wipes if they weren’t just right.

In the new Decor Canisters, the wipes are individually cut and folded, so removal is really easy.

Each canister contains 60 wipes.
