sunscreen

The nostalgic scent of sunscreen is synonymous with summer, hot sand between your toes, beach lounging and sun-kissed adventures.

With so many options available in the market, why are we asking you to whip up your own sunscreens? To keep those dicey, harmful chemicals away from your skin—and the environment!

It’s that time of year! The weather is gorgeous, the sun is blazing and you reach for that bottle of sunscreen with the intention to protect your skin and prevent a justifiably dreadful sunburn. But what is in that sunscreen you are slathering all over your body? Many people make the mistake of assuming that because a product is allowed to be publically sold and distributed, that it is safe for both the environment and our bodies. While this would be the case in an ideal world, it simply is not the way current government regulations operate.
