Safer Sunscreens

I'm headed to Florida to visit friends for the long weekend as many I know are...thus this seemingly untimely post on safer sunscreens has merit!

So many bad chemicals in sunscreens that are on the market, many by brands we have trusted for years like Coppertone, Banana Boat and Neutrogena.

In a nutshell, we only want to use Mineral sunscreens (titainium dioxide or zinc oxide), never nanoparticles, always a cream and never a spray.

Check to make sure our sunscreen is on the safe list: https://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/best-sunscreens/best-beach-sport-sunscreens/

Avoid Oxybenzone and Avobenzone at all costs.  Bad for the ocean, bad for our bodies.

Make sure to apply ever 2 hours.  Waterproof is a marketing word.  If you want to be sure, reapply often. Rub it into skin well.  Wear a hat and sunglasses.

Happy Valentine's Day!
