Daily Greenz #167

Just when we’re starting to get the point that yes, we need sunscreen to avoid things like skin cancer and wrinkles, here comes the kicker: The sunscreen being advised is full of ingredients like oxybenzone, a chemical that is linked to cancer itself. Ironic? Yes. Scary? Definitely. Not only are these sunscreens potentially harmful to our bodies, but new studies are showing these chemicals may be killing entire reefs.

Still, the fact is simple: You need sunscreen. Fortunately, you don’t need to settle for one laden with suspicious-sounding chemicals. Burt’s Bees makes chemical free sunscreens with the sun-shielding power of titanium dioxide (which shields against UVB and UVA rays) and good-for-everyone ingredients like hemp seed oil and wheat grass extract. Yippee, sunscreen that’s easy on your body and any body of water you swim in!

We recommend slathering on Burt’s Bees Chemical
Free Sunscreen in SPF 15 or 30. Read up on sunscreens and other natural
products on the Burt’s Bees website.
