Episencial Fun Summer Skincare Value Kit Review And Giveaway

October 19, 2017May 4, 2011 by Vivian

You cannot keep my girls inside for more than an hour before they are clamoring to go back outside to play. Living in Atlanta we can enjoy the outdoors pretty much year-round. When it gets to be April, though, the weather turns to almost summer-like temperatures and I know that my girls need some serious sun protection for their developing skin.

Episencial sent us a summer skincare kit just in time for the first part of the Atlanta “summer”. I was thrilled to learn that Episencial products are formulated specifically for newborns and children’s sensitive, developing skin.

Knowing how much their skin can absorb, it was great to know that the SunnySunscreen is so much more than just an SPF 35 sunscreen. Made with ingredients I know and can pronounce (!), the Sunny Sunscreen is fortified with green tea extract (organic no less!) to help protect from sun damage, complimented with organic seed oils, and then mixed with organic shea butter and beeswax to boost its water resistance. My girls weren’t concerned about the ingredients but they did love the adorable Eric Carle illustrations on the packaging.

The Fun Summer Skincare Value Kit is only $14.99–the same price as the SunnySunscreen on its own–but included inside are $15 worth of extra products. Not only do you get the 4oz. tube of SunnySunscreen but you also receive two smaller tubes of their incredible soothing and protective skincare products. The .75 oz tube of Protective Face Balm (SPF 6) was featured on a Good Morning America Health segment for its healthy attributes–it includes vitamins A, D, C, and E partially derived from cranberry extract, grape seed, and organic raspberry juice. We’ve used it every day and my girls have yet to get any rough patches on their face from the heat and sun exposure!

Additionally, you’ll find a .75 oz tube of their very popular Soothing Cream which helps skin rehydrate and stay healthy–should any dry patches occur, we will definitely be applying this soothing cream to my girls’ skin but it’s good to know you can also use this cream for diaper rashes and eczema!

After using the products found in the Fun Summer Skincare Value Kit for a week, I came away a huge fan of Episencial. Their products work–my girls never even had a hint of sunburn on their skin–and we’ve been in swimsuits and tank tops so lots of skin was exposed!

When we ran through our sprinkler, I noticed that the Sunny Sunscreen stayed on and didn’t need to be reapplied right away. I loved the non-greasy Protective Face Balm and even used it for myself! It didn’t clog my pores and it did not run off my face while I was running (and sweating!) in the sun.

I loved that I knew what ingredients they had in each product and that each ingredient served a soothing, protective purpose. Using these Episencial products soothed this protective mama’s fears–i know that when using the products inside the Fun SummerSkincare Value Kit we’ll be safe from burns and unnecessary chemical exposure!
