Are you a chronic sunscreen wearer? Do you know what could be hidden in it?
Double check the ingredients of your sunscreen! They tend to have some of the WORST offenders when it comes to toxins.
With aerosol sunscreen, there is deep concern here. Not only is your skin absorbing high levels of toxins like Oxybenzone, but you’re also inhaling these, and the toxic particles travel straight to your lungs. Not good friends.
Here are some of the toxins looming in conventional sunscreens:
PhenoxyethanolPEGsRetinyl PalmitateParabensOxybenzoneFragranceIsobutaneHomosalatePropylene GlycolI have to call out Oxybenzone because this is the heavy hitter that’s destroying coral reefs. If it’s destroying our coral reefs... think about what it’s doing to you.
The other one that I just don’t get is Retinyl Palmitate. This toxin causes photosensitivity when exposed to the sun, so it’s literally doing the exact opposite of what sunscreen is supposed to do. Yeah, I don’t get it either.
Fear not, there’s SO many better choices now!

& I personally wear Crunchi Tinted SPF everyday and if I’m not slathering Mooshine on my kids, I’m using Crunchi’s sunscreen!
