What People Are Saying:

"I warmly recommend this as a great resource for families." -Justin Taylor, The Gospel Coalition

From the Book:

"The squirrel shook his tail for a moment. 'Sir, I will make a deal with you.' 'What kind of deal can you make?' the Woodsman laughed. 'If you promise not to cut down my tree, I will tell you an amazing secret. I promise you, this secret is worth more than any tree, much, much more." -The Magic Walnut

"His chance came later on a moonless summer night. Unaware of the danger, King Abraham had taken his best men into the forest for two weeks of hunting. The castle had been left under the protection of the fat butler and the thin cook, who, though sturdy and brave, were no match for a cunning and powerful dragon." -A Reluctant Rescue

"One day a man appeared at Adam's Garden. 'I am an inspector from the Ministry of Nasty Smells,' he said, wrinkling his nose in disgust. 'We have had some complaints about your garden.' This was a town, you see, that took its gardening seriously." -The Fragrant Garden

Love this sunscreen
Size: 2.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really love this sunscreen for my face and décolleté because it give the protection I want without the heavy greasy feel of sunscreen. Plus, it's perfect size to drop in my bag and no weigh me down. The bottle has never leaked. I really really like the non aerosol spray-even if it means that I have to spread it around a little, it's worth it for environmental reasons and honestly, it really didn't mess up my makeup at all when I patted it in gently. I didn't get blemishes from it at all. It doesn't have the full Hawaiian Tropic scent that we all know and love but it is very lightly scented and it is pleasant, still very tropical but more light and airy scented-not quite the same as the main line.

Very convenient
Size: 2.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
A great size to carry in your purse or car. My only complaint is it doesn’t make a nice mist so I have to rub it in, or spray it on my hands and pat it on. Smells good and works great.

My favorite facial sunscreen
Size: 2.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this sunscreen mist for the face. I have tried many facial sunscreens to protect against the Arizona sun and this is by far the best. So many sunscreens have a heavy feel, make my face sweat more, and end up clogging my pores. This sunscreen has a light, pleasant smell and is a lightweight spray. You spray it into your hand and smooth it on your face and neck. It feels hydrating without any heavy or greasy feel, and you can use foundation over it if you wish. It has done a great job protecting my skin, and just as important for me, it does not clog my pores and cause complexion issues. I have pretty sensitive facial skin and this has not caused any irritation at all. It is definitely worth trying and then buying again when you love it.

Not great
Size: 2.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I wish I could give 3 1/2 starts but I have to give it 3 stars for two reasons. 1 is it is not a fine mist, it will leave your face looking crazy after you spray it. You end up having to pay it into your skin because there’s white splotches all over your face. So if you were to apply this with no mirror it would be a problem. Also I feel like it semi defeats the point of using a face spray if you have to use your hands to finish applying it. 2 is that for me it makes my skin feel hot and kinda burn around my mouth area. I think there might be too much fragrance or something. It does go away after awhile but it is not pleasant and I can’t imagine it is good for me.
