It’s that time of year—spring is in the air so it’s time to talk about sunscreen. Of course, I want to focus on SAFE and CLEAN sunscreen for everyone. As you get warmed up for brighter days, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays. Remember, I am a skin cancer patient, so I am speaking from experience on this. And while we are on this topic, please consider making an appointment with your dermatologist to get your skin checked!
Our Countersun mineral sunscreens are made with non-nano zinc oxide—a physical sunscreen filter that’s reef-friendly and won’t irritate your skin. There is some information that is important to know before you go, or in this case, information to know before you buy your sunscreen. The unfortunate truth is that most sunscreens contain a dirty secret, oxybenzone andoctinoxate, which are linked to health hazards and have been shown in scientific studies to harm coral reefs. We do not want this to continue to happen. We want to protect our health and we want to protect the environment too. Of course, our sunscreen does not contain these chemicals, and our sunscreens get the highest safety rating from the Environmental Working Group (EWG). As a mom of two little ones, I am going to be the mother here and give you this gentle reminder to please wear your sunscreen this spring.
Your skin is your largest organ so let’s all take good care of it!
