Daily Greenz #147

Summer is just around the corner, which means we’re all eagerly looking forward to spending more time outside.  We’d like to get a little color back in our pallid skin, so the best way to prepare for sun exposure is to make sure our sunscreen is equipped to protect us from harmful UV rays.  What’s equally important is to ensure that our sunscreen doesn’t contain any toxic ingredients, such as petrochemical additives.  Derived from petroleum, petrochemicals are often found in moisturizers and can cause severe allergic reactions.

Luckily, organic sunscreens do exist, and we’d like to highlight Aubrey Organics in particular.  Their Green Tea Protective Sunscreen doesn’t contain any petrochemicals and protects the skin with titanium dioxide, which is a mineral that deflects burning rays off the skin.  Also, their organic green tea ingredient shields the skin from cancer-causing free radicals, and their organic shea butter ingredient keeps the skin well-hydrated.  Available for $8.50 at www.aubrey-organics.com.
