Safer Sunscreens

Most sunscreens out there are laden with so many chemicals that you may be protecting yourself from the UV rays but exposing yourself to other harmful ingredients. Luckily there are companies out there who are up with the play and are providing high quality natural sunscreens that are safe and highly effective. They combine plant extracts, which have sun-filtering abilities like:

·         Shea Butter,

·         Carrot Seed Oil,

·         Wheat germ,

·         Seaweed,

·         Buckwheat,

·         Wild Pansy Extract and

·         Calendula,

·         with physical barriers like Zinc Oxide and Titanium dioxide.

Some of the Sunscreen products we know are free from harmful ingredients are:

·         Living Nature Facial Sunscreen – smells divine very protective.

·         Absolutely Natural 30plus Sunscreen – rubs in totally with out leaving the skin white.

·         Ecostore Sunscreen – highly protective although slightly thicker than others.

·         Dr. Hauschka – They have a large selection of products including baby and facial sunscreens.

·         Kosmea – highly regarded natural Australian sunscreens.
