Sharing with you my favourite Sunscreens for the body. Since, this is going on the majority of my skin and likely worn in the ocean or on the beach, I care alot more about what’s in the formulations. The main considerations are the health of my body and the environmental impact on the health of our ocean ecology. There is alot of alarmist information that deem all sunscreens bad but the less ‘click-baity’ fact is that there are SAFER Sunscreens out there, that use safer, active sunscreening ingredients. Unfortunately, they are not easy to find in the US where our limited chemical options are primitive and there is no concern for particle sizes.
In this video, I talk about which filters I avoid and the qualities I look for in both mineral and chemical sunscreens. These are my personal choices, I realize that I only have 2 options here that are more budget friendly, but I wanted to stick to what I honestly prefer and standout. I asked for a 20% discount code for you because we all deserve a good quality sunscreen that is more important than the other stuff we put on our face!
I also explain in the video how I choose safer drugstore sunscreens. I hope that helps!
Also, many of you have been asking me about sunscreens for toddlers. An alternative to the thick, goopy mess kids hate stretched and smeared on their skin. Many of these options are safe for infants over 6 months!
For more information, please see the Haereticus Environmental Laboratory’s comprehensive list for all potentially harmful ingredients to ocean life.
