Summertime is fast approaching, long sunny days playing outside, sun beating down on your skin for hours. If your gearing up to head to the beach, lake, golf course, tennis court, mountain biking, or whatever it is that YOU do outdoors, don’t forget your sunscreen. We have all been taught to protect ourselves from the suns harmful rays, but what about the harmful ingredients that may be found in your sunscreen?
Have you ever really looked at the back of your sunscreen bottle? Read through the ingredients? Chances are that the list of ingredients will include chemicals like these, Padimate O, Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Homosalate, Methylparaben, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Polyethylene, and Triethanolamine just to name a few. Honestly, most of us don’t even know what all these chemicals are but yet we willingly smear them all over our bodies without question.
Oxybenzone, also know as benzophenone-3, may not be as safe as the last study, done in the 1970′s, suggests. This chemical and several other commonly found in regular sunscreen have recently been linked to endocrine disruption, cell damage, and allergies. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) revealed that approximately 97% of all Americans are contaminated with these chemicals and others that have been linked to low birth rates in women. Low birth weight has been shown to lead to health problems in adults such as Coronary Heart Disease, Hypertension, and Type 2 Diabetes. Oxybenzone is still an approved ingredient by the FDA for use in the US and Canada, but why take the chance.
Finding a sunscreen in your local store that does not contain Oxybenzone or other harsh chemicals can be a little challenging to say the least. Well that is the great thing about the internet, after much research, the product of choice looks to be Soleo Organics Sunscreen. It has one of the highest ratings for skin safety from the Skin Deep Cosmetics Database. Soleo Organics All Natural Sunscreen is a chemical free all natural sunscreen approved by the FDA to protect from UV-B and UV-A rays. Developed by a Naturopath in Australia named Leo Fung, Soleo Organics Sunscreen is fast becoming the leader in chemical free, all natural sun protection.
