Summer is almost here, and I’m so excited! This is my favorite time of year. School is almost out, which means my daughters are going to be home more often. This is one of the things I look forward to in the summer. Having my daughters home more is always fun. We’ve already got some plans for the summer as to what we can do to keep busy. We’re currently working on a garden since we moved in fall. We have our own home, so the garden is going to be a lot of fun. My daughters enjoy being outdoors as much as I do, so this summer we’re going to be out there more often. With us wanting to be outside so much in the summer, that also means the sun will be out more and it will get hot. Every time we go outdoors we always make sure to wear our sunscreen, and I can tell you we will be outdoors a lot this summer, especially with us working on our garden.
NO-AD sunscreen is great for protecting your skin while you’re outdoors. Nobody likes to be sunburned, so using these product to protect your skin from the sun is always a great idea. I have two daughters, and I always make sure to put sunscreen on them. I also burn easily, so I make sure to always wear it as well. I have very fair skin, so these NO-AD sunscreen products are perfect for me.
More about NO-AD:
NO-AD is the sunscreen that costs less per ounce because “no advertising” means the brand doesn’t buy expensive TV, print, or radio ads, passing the savings onto consumers. Introduced in 1962, NO-AD is one of America’s original sun care labels. Its unbeatable cost-and-quality combination affirms NO-AD as the sunscreen moms trust and sun lovers love.
All NO-AD sunscreens are PABA-, paraben-, and retinyl palmitate-free. Notably, all lotions SPF 15 and higher have received The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation for “safe and effective protection.”
The sun care body and face stick spf 50 is one of my favorite products. It goes on clear and there is no mess afterwards. It is water-resistant for about 80 minutes. It is also fragrance-free, nonirritating formula is great for sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin as well as my youngest daughter, who has eczema. I have to be careful of the products I use on her skin. I have no problem using the NO-AD sun care products on her skin. They work great for her. What I love about this particular product, is that it’s the stick. I can easily carry this product in my purse and apply it when needed. You never know when you’re going to need sunscreen, so I’m happy to have this product on me at all times.
The kids gentle sunscreen super size lotion spf 50 is great for my daughters. I love that they carry a product that is meant for kids. You don’t always get to see that, so it’s nice to have a bottle of sunscreen just for them. This product is specially developed for Kid’s sensitive skin. This formula is very water-resistant, very sweat resistant and hypoallergenic. It also contains Aloe Vera and Vitamin E to help soften the sun’s drying effect on your skin. As I mentioned earlier, my youngest daughter has eczema, so this is the perfect sunscreen for her. We haven’t had any problems with her skin since we have been using the product. That’s a huge plus for my family. It can be hard to find products for her that won’t affect her skin.
Take some time to read over the photo above. This has a lot of useful information for when it comes to sunscreen. You may be surprised to see what you didn’t know about it. I have always applied more sunscreen after I have been in a pool or somewhere where you get wet. I always knew that was very important, because the sunscreen won’t last too much longer after you’ve been in a pool. You want to always make sure to apply your sunscreen after a couple of hours. I always knew that you needed to apply it every few hours, I just didn’t know it was ever two hours. That is something I learned and I’m very glad I did. I’ll be making sure to apply the sunscreen a lot more often this summer.
Sunscreen Smarts
- Apply sunscreen 15 to 20 minutes before going out in the sun and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.
- Use a golf ball-sized amount (1 oz.) each time you apply or reapply sunscreen.
- Sunscreen should be broad-spectrum, at least SPF 30 and water-resistant to help protect from UVA and UVB rays.
- If used properly, families should go through many ounces of sunscreen during a season in the sun.
- Remember, spray-on sunscreens MUST be rubbed into the skin to be effective.
Skin Cancer Awareness
- On average, 1 person dies from melanoma every hour.
- 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.
- Research shows women are 9 times more likely than men to notice melanoma on others.
- Nearly 9,500 Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer each day.
- The five-year survival rate for melanoma when detected and treated in its early stages is 98%.
Recent Survey of Moms About Sunscreen
NO-AD recently commissioned a survey of moms (with children younger than 18) and discovered some surprising results.
- The survey found that nearly two in 10 moms (17%) were unaware that, after their initial slathering of sunscreen, they needed to reapply after extended exposure.
- The survey also revealed that fewer than half of moms (48%) know the correct amount of sunscreen they need to apply to the face and body while at the pool, lake, or beach.
- More than half of moms surveyed (54%) thought that the proper time to apply sunscreen is as soon as they start feeling their skin burning.
- Nearly 2 in 10 (17%) confessed that their reason for not reapplying sunscreen was that they wanted a tan — this, despite widespread warnings about the dangers of skin cancer from unprotected exposure.
As you can see, it’s very important to make sure you’re properly wearing your sunscreen and reapplying it every 2 hours. Getting a sunburn is no fun and the risks of cancer are even worse. Please make sure to apply your sunscreen as often as needed.
Check out some of these quotes from dermatologist Dr. Richard C. Kirkpatrick:
These are some quotes about sunscreen usage from dermatologist Dr. Richard C. Kirkpatrick of Brevard, Florida.
“NO-AD’s value proposition is expressly intended to offer consumers high-quality sun care at a price per ounce they can afford and which encourages proper sunscreen use.”
“Understanding both application frequency and amount is essential to proper sun care. You cannot have one without the other,”
“The correct amount of sunscreen to be applied — or reapplied — is one ounce. Think of a shot glass of sunscreen or an amount the size of a golf ball.”
“By the time you feel your skin burning, the sun’s UV rays are damaging your cells’ DNA,” Dr. Kirkpatrick said.

I hope that you were all able to learn something new about sunscreen. I know I have learned a lot more already from NO-AD. I love that they have so many different kinds of sun care products. I can find the right ones for my family without having to spend a lot. I use to have to spend a lot on my youngest because of her eczema. I’m glad we finally found a sunscreen that doesn’t cost much that can work great on her skin.
Do any of you have plans for the summer? Make sure to product your skin with NO-AD sunscreen this summer!

I’d love to see more companies doing this. Advertising is completely overdone these days anyway. Thanks for sharing this!
I agree, and you’re welcome!
I have very fair-skinned children. I have used No Ad sunscreen for years. Great stuff.
I’m glad you love them too!
I guess it is that time of year! We kind of went from sweaters to sweating in Canada! lol!! I love products that invest more money into the product and less into the advertising!
Right! It’s getting warmer out. I love summer, but hate the sun beating down sometimes.
Going for a natural sunscreen with a high SPF is most ideal. It’s nice that no-ad sunscreens are less expensive so more people can afford to buy them.
Exactly. Sunscreen isn’t always the cheapest.
We like the waterproof sport sunscreen since we are in Florida and spend a lot of time outside or at the beach! This looks like a good option.
Yes, waterproof is a must for us as well.
It is so important t protect your skin from the sun. I have been using NO-AD sunscreen for a few years and I love it.
I’m so glad to hear you love their brand too.
NO-AD sunscreen products are fantastic. It works so good for the kids and they love it because I am not constantly reapplying it.
I agree. I love this brand!
I am so pale I need a good sunscreen. I will have to pick up some NO-AD sunscreen to try. I hate to burn.
I’m very pale as well. I burn easily, so this sunscreen is great for me.
Being a red head I need to have good sun protection. I switched to NO-AD sunscreen last summer and I am never going back. It feel nice on the skin and gets the job done.
I’m a red head as well, and it seems that all red heads burn easily. I’m glad NO-AD is working for you too!
Gotta love a good sun screen! It’s so important to me to make sure the kids stay protected during the summer.

The No-Ad in the title had me curious. I haven’t tried this brand, but I’ll be sure to look for this after reading this post.
It’s an awesome brand. I love their products.
This would be perfect to my nieces and nephews! We love summer and we always do summer activities.

NO-AD Sunscreen I have used on the kids before and it works great. The body and face sunscreen stick is something I am going to have to check out for this summer. Thanks for sharing these awesome products.
You’re welcome. I love the stick because it’s so easy to apply.
I had no idea they didn’t do advertising. I always wondered what the name meant. I’ll definitely be looking for this one. I’m always looking for the best prices.
Great! I’m sure you’ll love the brand. Our family sure does.
I need to stock up on my sunscreen. I like the stick. It makes application less messy.
I agree. The stick of sunscreen is great.
We always make the boys put sunscreen on before they go outside. Sunscreen is super important when you are outside, I just tend to forget to make them reapply it.
Yes, it is really important. Reapplying is certainly important as well. We try to do that often, but we’ll be making sure we do it more from now on.
I always wear sunscreen, the one with at least 50SPF. This brand sounds great, and formulated without paraben is a good thing!
Same here. I have such fair skin so I have to have at least 50 spf.
I have been paying more attention lately to making sure sunscreen is on me at all times. I need to be more diligent where my 12 years old is concerned, as well.
Right! It’s so important to protect them from the sun.
I’ve never heard of No-Ad sunscreen but I’ll definitely look for it the next time I’m heading to the store. I like that they are less expensive so more people (like myself) can afford them.
They’re a wonderful brand. I hope you’re able to find them!
I would love to see an ingredient list for this. We are always on the hunt for quality sunscreen.
I’m not sure why they don’t have the ingredient list. I’m not seeing it either on their site.
