It's been hot outside! Choosing a good sunscreen for your body is extremely important. Why? Your body absorbs 60% of what you put on it. So if you're putting on lotions that contain carcinogens and toxic chemicals, your body is consuming these harmful substances, which can place toxic stress on your nervous system. We want to share some tips on which sunscreen lotions to choose and which ones to avoid.
Avoid these ingredients & products:
- Oxybenzone
- Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate)
- Added insect repellent
- Sprays
- Powders
- SPF above 50+
Look for these ingredients & products:
- Zinc

The purpose of choosing a healthy sunscreen is to reduce the chances of your body experiencing unnecessary chemical exposure. We want you to be in the sun because it’s healthy for optimizing your vitamin D production so don’t skip out on getting some good sun. Just ensure that when you step outside and it’s really hot out to be prepared with some healthy sunscreen options to treat your body well!
