It’s her choice butt out
I’d be more concerned with the fact grandpa had skin cancer as it can be hereditary. I have melanoma And my 3 kids and myself absolutely use sunscreen. My husband chooses not to, but he’s a grow adult. His choice. I’ll protect my 3 kids though. My oldest is 15 and is pretty responsible in using it. My twins are 3. If they carry the gene I’d rather not feel like I contributed to any possible skin issues because I didn’t wanna use sunscreen. Know better, do better. They have plenty of options out there for chemical free sunscreens!

We don’t use sunscreen much, and both my girls are very white but have Puerto Rican in them so they tan really nice, my youngest I just do her shoulders and face, my oldest is more white so I put it on her when I see her getting pink for 1 or 2 days and then she’s tan (jealous mom here, I just burn) I have them drink plenty of water and take breaks, they have never gotten sunburn
Actually, quite a few sunscreens have cancer causing ingredients in them, so I understand your sister’s hesitancy. At a recent visit to the dermatologist, my husband took his 6-7 odd brands of sunscreens with him so the Doctor could tell him which were OK/safe for him to use (he has had basal cells/melanomas in the past). Only one made the cut!! She should ask a dermatologist for recommendations!!

Skin cancer doesn’t care what race you are. My son has melanocytosis in both eyes and my family has had several people get skin cancer, lung cancer, bone cancer and brain tumors.
My family is Mexican, Irish and Indian. Yes we tan very easy but I still use sunscreen because once again cancer doesn’t discriminate…

My doctor in 1998 told me not to use sunscreen on my littles, he said they put it on the market with not enough research. He said 20 years more will have health issues from chemicals than skin cancer. He suggested white cotton clothing or light… hats with wide rims… he told me anything with zinc oxide willbe thick but will stay on top of skin other wise all chemicals go directly into skin and bloodstream…He was educated in the UK …was a doctor in Africa for a few years before coming to Canada… He was as close to natural medicine and honesty I have ever met. 36 years then he and his partner / wife shared their practice so one would be home with their littles. His wife was also an amazing Dr.

Your nieces and nephews are fine and thanks to their mom they probably won’t end up with skin cancer from the harsh chemicals in sunscreens.

I’ve seen studies conducted on cats. One group was fed a whole diet and exposed to the sun. Second group was fed a diet typical to Americans and had the same level of sun exposure. The group with the crap diet had cancer and the group who ate nutritional food did not get cancer. Sunscreen does have harmful chemicals. The sun is good for us, we literally need sun exposure. If your sister feeds her family a healthy diet I wouldn’t be too concerned. Also you can look into mineral sun screen which is much healthier. At the end of the day it’s your sisters life, her children, her decisions. If she is refusing, it’s for a good reason. Your sister does not want her children to get cancer! Each parent wants what’s best for their children and this is how she feels so it’s best to be respectful.

There is tons of evidence saying that the sunscreens we use might play a huge role in skin cancer. Let her make choices for her kids, you can speak your concern but they are her babies so I wouldn’t push it. She most likely has done a bit of research herself to come to her decision. My kids rarely wear sunscreen and they are pale complected with light blonde hair.

Well you can still get sun burn even in the shade or cloudy weather. Let her do her thing. When all her kids get sun burned and are screaming maybe she will change her mind. They do have like all natural sun screens. But I wouldn’t press the issue too hard unless the kids are ending up with horrific burns
Badger is a good one non toxic
I think Arbonne sunscreen may be a real good choice - check and see .
No, you’re not. If you were legitimately worried about them, you’d be researching sunscreens. Valid research. Not asking fb. Not submitting this question, with no idea how long it’d take to be posted and get you some answers you shouldn’t even take seriously.

I’m pretty sure if your sister is worried about harsh chemicals in sunscreen she’s most likely very protective over how she views their health in other areas of their lives. Just because you’ve fed into the narrative that without sunscreen you’ll get skin cancer doesn’t mean she has to follow that as well. Many people go without sunscreen and get sunburn without skin cancer. Mind your business

Kiss My Face products are amazing! They are cruelty free, eco friendly, and have been around forever. I have very sensitive skin, and because they do not have chemicals such as parabens they never irritate my face.
Everytime you get sunburned you increase the chance of getting skin cancer. Both my parents had it and several aunts and uncles… and they were from a time when there wasn’t sunscreen. Long sleeve lite weight shirts and a hat for the face especially. Both my dad and mom had skin cancer on their faces. So for me I would at least try not to let them get sunburned. Let a tan build up slowly a few hours a day until burning isn’t an issue.

Im sure your grandpa didn’t wear it when he was younger which is why he got skin cancer later in life. I worked at a dermatology office and we seen this all the time with older patients. But they are her kids so really there is nothing you can do except suggest non toxic options. My opinion i put sunscreen on my kids but not everyone is the same!

For thousands of years ppl used natural healing remedies. However that changed When it was learned medicine could be made from petroleum. When US’s top oil mogul came onto the scene, He bought the German pharmaceutical company that created weapons of war for Adolf Hitler, then leveraged his political power to “convince” congress to declare natural healing remedies unscientific.
He then took control of the AMA and offered grants to top medical schools under the mandate only his approved curriculum be taught. Any mention of healing through herbs, plants, diet was erased from most medical textbooks & any doctors who objected to the new “standard” were removed from the AMA and stripped of their medical license to teach and practice medicine. Those who dared to speak out were arrested and jailed.
When evidence began to leak out that petroleum based medicines were causing cancer, this man then created the American cancer society where he conveniently suppressed this information. 
This one man is dually credited as the founder of the pharmaceutical industry. And possibly why medical error is the 3rd leading cause of death in America.
Every year The pharmaceutical industry spends at least twice the amount as big oil to influence laws , policies and public perception. That seems like a ridiculous amount of power one man had to literally change the course of history and how we treat illnesses.
So, perhaps your sister has done some research and refuses to use sun screen on her children because she has educated herself on this subject.

She can make her own sunscreen or spend a $$$$$$ on chemical free stuff.
But you can’t really control her or force her to use it. You can only encourage or make it available when you are around.

I know of a European standard (SUPER CLEAN vs US) sunscreen I use on my babies with extremely sensitive skin and it’s been great
My daughter breaks out with any type of sunscreen. She has really sensitive skin. Long sleeves that are breathable and a little baggy are good. But honestly I do the same thing. I limit sun time if there’s no cover or shade. But I also let her enjoy her youth. We choose to go out earlier in the morning or later in the evening. The UV sun index for your area is also somthing helpful to use because you can see how strong the UV rays will be for the day, etc. I try to Avoid the strongest sun rays of the day. As long as the kids aren’t getting burned its fine. It always helps to put aloe on the skin after sun exposure even if they aren’t burnt . But I make sure to use it only when she is completely done playing outside for the day. Because Aloe on the skin will intensify the UV rays when in the sun, making the burns worse.
But all in all it sounds like your sister cares about her children and will make the best choices for them based on their needs.

One time I woke up late for an appointment, got in my car and what do you know, car is on E. What happen next was something I thought I would never live to witness. I was more than a little shaken up this morning as I was robbed at the gas station. Never in a million years would I think this would happen to me. After my hands stopped trembling I managed to call the police. They were quick to respond and manage to calm me down. My money is all gone 
. My child just witness me being robbed. The police got there and asked me if I knew who did it. I said yes as a matter of fact I do
It was pump 4
So anyway idk any sunscreens to tell you about but I would have just slap the sunscreen on my niece and nephews backs and called it a day too aggressive? Oh well

I never wore sunscreen in my entire life so I wouldn’t know.
My son has been allergic to sunscreen his whole life. He is 14 now. I would just always have him where a shirt at the beach and in the water. Same with the pool. He can’t share pool floats bc of someone else’s sunscreen being on it. They kids will be ok.
As a former competitive swimmer… you NEED protection!!! One bad burn increases your chance of skin cancer A LOT.
Look at the older generations that used baby oil, their skin looks like an old alligator.
I thank my mom daily she put sunblock on me in the 80s because my skin has zero wrinkles and I’m mid 40s.
