Searching for Coconut-scented Paraben-free LOTION!

My blog is named Goldierocks California, right?? I love everything beach-y and "Mermadian". My dear friend Kristen, her mom Judy, and I just spent an hour at the Carlsbad Street Fair yesterday searching for mermaid inspired jewelry, with the hopes of finding a prize piece that upon donning would validate our mermaid status. We'll have to get a picture of her mermaid medallion she chose.

But another method of achieving our mermaid status in Southern California is by SMELLING like a mermaid. And we do this by living a life devoted to finding the perfect coastal, tropical, pina colada-inspired lotion. After all the illegal tanning we still do, especially with the kids in the summer, we HAVE to butter our skin with lotion religiously. But I've become informed and now I'm bummed! :(

Apparently there are harmful chemicals in many of my favorite lotions. There are harmful parabens and alcohols that are sometimes carcinogenic (helps cause cancer), or drying to the skin.

I didn't read any of these ingredients on the labels of two of my favorite lotions, but one label completely neglected a list of ingredients.

This brings me to my search! I'm searching for a fully natural tropics-inspired cream or lotion for summer. If any of you have any suggestions, please send them my way!!! I'm looking for the smell of Coppertone SPF, but made from stuff like shells and avocados. Thank you for helping this ship-wrecked mermaid!
