1. SPF 30 Sunscreen Lotion Packets

We've had a hot summer, and everyone needs a quality sunscreen. Safetec Sunscreen Lotion is SPF 30, reaching doctor-recommended standards for sun protection. Containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, this sunscreen should be applied liberally every 2 hours, or every 60-90 minutes if you're sweating excessively or swimming. Safetec Suncreen Lotion comes in a convenient travel-size packet form that's perfect to carry with you wherever you go -- camping, the beach, the park, even just a walk around the neighborhood. We've got these available at a great discount for a limited time, so stock up today!

2. Safetec Itch Relief Spray

If you've been camping or hiking, there's a good chance you've come into contact with one of the "poison" plants -- poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac -- that cause allergic reactions on contact. Safetec Diphenhydramine Itch Relief Spray is a topical spray designed to relieve the itching and discomfort associated with these plants, as well as insect bites and minor skin irritations. Available in a 3 oz spray bottle, Ivy-Rid not only alleviates pain and irritation, but also prevents against infection. Bring it with you whenever you hit the trails this summer!

3. Safetec Insect Repellent

You can't always avoid allergens like ragweed and you might not spot poison ivy in time, but you can deter insects before they bite. Safetec Insect Repellant is a non-toxic, chemical free, pesticide free repellent that uses natural citronella and soybean oil to drive off insects. It contains no DEET, and is perfect for adults or children with sensitive skin. Available in a convenient, portable, 2 oz. bottle, this is the perfect option for hikers, campers, and anyone spending time outdoors this summer!

4. Complete Family-Sized First Aid Kit

From Tender Corporation, this family-sized first aid kit is designed for families who frequently spend time outdoors, whether for travel, hiking, sports, or play. It contains a full complement of necessary supplies to treat sprains, cuts, insect bites, inflammation, minor infections, common allergies, and many other conditions found outdoors. Its coated nylon bag contains waterproof, plastic storage pouches inside, ensuring that your supplies are protected from wet conditions. Most importantly, it also contains the manual Caring for Children in the Outdoors, a comprehensive guide to first-aid to everything you need to know about treating your child.

5. Sani-Hands Antimicrobial Gel Hand Wipes

Soap and water aren't always available, especially when traveling. Sani-Hands Antimicrobial Gel Hand Wipes are the ideal choice for sanitizing on the go!

These hand sanitizing wipes are enriched with aloe, glycerin, and Vitamin E to moisturize your skin, and the single-use packets effectively reduce the risk of cross contamination! 100 wipes per box.

6. Bacitracin Zinc Antibiotic Ointment

Minor burns, cuts, and scrapes can seem like nothing to an active family, but when you get hurt outdoors there's always the chance you could develop an infection. Bacitracin Zinc Ointment is the perfect antibiotic to carry with you whether you're on the beach or the trail! These convenient packets can go anywhere with you, even if the only storage you have is your pocket. Bacitracin stops the growth of bacteria on minor skin injuries, making it perfect for the cuts and bruises that any adventurous family might deal with.
