All About Suncare with Beyond Coastal's Tom Ferries
Director of Marketing at Beyond Coastal Suncare Tom Ferries joins the program.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Tom Ferries discuss the following:
Eric Michaels: What should I look for when buying a sunscreen?
Tom Ferries: The most important words on a sunscreen label are "Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection". This means the sunscreen will protect you from immediate damage (sunburn) caused by UVB rays and from long-term damage (premature aging, wrinkles, some skin cancers) caused by UVA rays. UVB protection is measured by SPF, but there is no official marker to declare UVA protection. Many sunscreen labels falsely declare "Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection," so how can you be sure? To verify the "Broad Spectrum" claim, look for the active ingredients zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, or Avobenzone, which are the only three ingredients that ensure UVA protection. Look for an SPF of 15 or 30. Make sure harmful chemicals are absent, such as Oxybenzone and parabens. Check for the addition of healthy inactive ingredients, like aloe vera, vitamin E and antioxidants.
About Beyond Coastal Suncare
Years of sun exposure and the ensuing effects drove Shawn Biega to start Beyond Coastal Suncare. A diehard skier and surfer, Shawn and his cohorts spent endless hours in the sun year-round, every day their skin taking a beating. Although they wore sunscreen, too many of his friends were being diagnosed with skin cancer. After some initial research Shawn was disappointed to find the sun care market filled with greasy, chemical laden formulas that claimed broad spectrum protection.
After years of research and testing (on himself, not animals!) in surf breaks, skate parks, and ski slopes, in 2006, Beyond Coastal Suncare was born.
Two years later we grew a bit and relocated to Utah's Wasatch Mountains. We miss the surf, but love the skiing! The outdoor opportunities are plentiful in Utah and the sun is harsh. This combination continues to spur our constant research into better sun care.
As individuals we are parents, athletes, consumers and concerned members of our global community. As a company and signatory of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics we are committed to offering your family the cleanest, healthiest sun care products possible at a reasonable price. Our formulas are crafted to offer true broad-spectrum protection and are packed with moisturizing botanical antioxidants that nourish, repair, and hydrate your skin.
We are a sun-loving culture and whatever you do to play outside, there is a healthy choice for sun protection.
