Detailed description about both of the products in this combo is mentioned below:

Coarse River Sand :

  • This is natural coarse river sand properly sorted. These sand particles will be bigger than sugar size (2 mm-4 mm). 
  •  It improves overall health of plants by making stronger root development. Use of River sand for better drainage in soil is appreciated by plant lovers all over the world.
  • River sand is good for soil of succulents, cactus and many more plants. River sand is considered as sterilised growing media. In comparison to ordinary soil, it does not attract bugs or pest. It also provides protection from termites.
  • We may consider it a substitute of Perlite while making potting soil for Adenium, Rose and other plants. This is widely used with potting soil of most plants. But river sand cannot absorb oxygen or needful nutrients, however this can be done efficiently with use of crushed Leca, perlite or pumice stones.
  • Use of River sand in aquarium bed is necessary for better growth and health of fishes. We can observe fishes playing with the sand in aquarium just like our children. Some interior designers use sand with water fountains as well.
  • We have shown two videos of showing coarse river sand use in aquarium which was sent by one of our doctor client of Andhra Pradesh. 
  • Applications of river sand are beyond count and depends upon individual creativity.

 

Cinder (2-4mm) :

  • Granules size is 2-4mm and this size is highly suitable for Succulents, Cactus, Lithops and other small plants. If you need Cinder for Growing Rose, Adenium and other bigger plants; we recommend to buy Cinder of 2-8mm size for better results (available with us). This cinder is cleaned to remove dust. Hence, there will be not more than 3 % dust. This cinder is produced as a by-product from burning of earthen coal(dug out from mines). This is not a volcanic rock.
  • This Cinder is porous and light weight. Most of the plant lovers like this cinder due to its fast drainage capabilities. Proper roots aeration is also possible with use of cinder. Cinder protects plants from root rot and fungal attack. We have observed healthy root development with use of our Cinder.
  • Many gardeners appreciate use of cinder with rose, succulents, Cactus, Adenium, Lithops and many more plants. We should use approximately 20% vermicompost with cinder.
  • This cinder can be used upto 50 % in potting mix of cactus, Lithops and many more loamy soil loving plants. We can use approximately 20 % cinder with succulents or any other plants also. We have mentioned our opinion about use of cinder in potting mix of different type of plants.
  • Gardening is a natural science and full of unlimited experiments. Even if you find something wrong in product description of this cinder, kindly share your valuable ideas or suggestions to improve it further. You are always welcome.

Must have sunscreen for kids!
Style: SPF 50 (Pack of 3), Size: 5.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This is our favorite sunscreen. It is easy to apply stays on and my kids do not get burned. I have a 9, 8 and 6 year-old we live in Florida and this is the only sunscreen we buy for their body. It does not cause any skin irritation.

Lightweight and non-greasy
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2), Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 2)
It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on the skin, and I really like the scent. It absorbs well and does its job protecting from the sun. I sent these to Cuba, where the sun is very strong, and my mom is really happy with the results. Overall, a great sunscreen.

Fantastic sensitive skin mineral lotion
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Mineral sunscreen is required in Hawaii. They don't allow the chemical variety as they are trying to protect the reefs. The Banana Boat Sensitive 100% Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 Twin Pack is a great option for reliable, gentle sun protection. Made with 100% mineral actives, it’s perfect for sensitive skin and provides strong broad-spectrum coverage against UVA and UVB rays. The lotion is lightweight, blends in well without leaving a heavy white cast, and feels comfortable for all-day wear. It’s also water-resistant, making it a dependable choice for outdoor activities. With the value of a twin pack, it’s a smart buy for keeping your skin safe and protected. We used it in Hawaii and it was popular among our crew. It didn't last long!

On my Safe List from allergist!
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I like this product because it is nice and creamy, has no odor, it rubs in easily and it stays on. I need constant sun protection every day and this one seems to provide it, even when boating. I have no itching or irritation of skin or eyes after using. So much better than a sticky spray that feels like a plastic coating when it dries. I am getting better protection with this one, and you don’t feel like you’ve gotta wash it all off at the end of the day. Very happy I tried it, and I’m going to stick with it.

Dries your skin and leaves a cast, but very effective and dry to the touch
Style: Sensitive Skin, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
This sunscreen is super effective for preventing sunburn, I think it works for longer than other sunscreens. It’s also completely dry to the touch, it’s the least greasy sunscreen I’ve ever worn in my life. There are drawbacks though, it makes my skin super dry, and it leaves a little bit of a white cast.
