For the best protection under the sun, go mineral.

Just when we thought our biggest worry was the sun’s harmful rays, now we have to pay close attention to our SPFs. Too bad most commercial sunscreens contain harmful chemicals that soak into skin and cause premature aging. Ugh! With such news we thought it wise to become educated. So for the best coverage under the sun, we cleaned out our beach bags to swap this for that.

Swap this: Neutrogena Sunblock Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch. Why? This sunblock is full of neurotoxic and immune toxic chemicals, parabens and fake fragrance.

For that: John Masters™ Organics SPF 30 Natural Mineral Sunscreen. This sunscreen contains natural occurring titanium dioxide (UV-resistant) and zinc oxide (broadest spectrum UVA and UVB absorber); plus shea butter, green tea, and jojoba oil add hydration with antioxidants.
