The first choice is between chemical sunscreen and physical sunscreen.
– Did you know that a physical sunscreen is a better choice because it includes ingredients that protect your skin at the surface, bouncing the UVA rays (which can lead to skin cancer, wrinkling, and aging) as well as UVB rays (which cause sunburn) off your skin?
– A chemical sunscreen absorbs into your skin and then absorbs the UVA and UVB rays. I’d rather block the rays at the surface of my skin!

๐—ช๐—ต๐˜†? Research shows that the above ingredients found in many chemical sunscreens have been found to be endocrine and hormone disruptors, as well as damaging to the ecosystem in our lakes and oceans! When you apply sunscreen, it’s not only impacting your body, but when you jump in the water, it can rinse off and affect the ecosystem in our lakes and oceans! The ingredients above have even been banned in Hawaii due to reef damage.
I’m thrilled that we two different sunscreens –ย  Our Tinted Mineral Sunscreen and Mineral Sunscreen – available in our catalog and of course it checks all of the boxes for things to look for mentioned above!

  1. After choosing a safe, natural sunscreen, you can find added protection with our Sheer Minerals makeup or Tinted Moisturizer! Apply sunscreen like a makeup primer on your face, and follow up with our liquid foundation or Mineral Foundation!ย  ย  The mineral formulas provide a natural barrier of SPF 15-20. (They are not officially SPF related but we know the minerals help!)
  2. . Wear Protective Clothing: Lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and pants can provide a great barrier against UV rays. Look for clothing with built-in UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) for added protection.
  3. Wear a Hat: A wide-brimmed hat can shield your face, ears, and neck from direct sunlight. It’s a stylish and practical way to stay cool and protect your skin.
  4. 3. Wear Sunglasses: Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays with a good pair of sunglasses. Look for ones that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays to keep your eyes safe!

Save with our Mineral Sunscreen Duo!ย  Both options are also available individually.

Remember, taking a few extra steps can make a big difference in keeping your skin healthy and happy all year round.
