We should wear sunscreen. We know. Our dermatologists remind us every time we finally stop by for that essential checkup. Plus, many beauty articles get around to dropping the hint about damaging sun rays. Yet who hasn’t had some less-than-fun-in-the-sun experiences with sunscreen-greasy, turns our skin white, feels heavy- and/or stumble on the pronunciation of at least one of the ingredients. Time for a clean start this summer, because MDSolarSciences has a collection of natural, ultra-smooth, mineral SPF formulas that...

We all remember fun times in the sun as kids, and we may also remember the dreadful moment when our parents would ask us to put sunscreen on. It did not always smell good, it did not always feel good and you certainly did not want to ‘reapply’! Fast forward to today, and thankfully, those dreadful ‘sunscream’ days are over. Why?

Sunscreen should be safe for the environment and lawmakers agree! They want our oceans free of Oxybenzone and Octinoxate, two chemicals that are toxic for coral reefs.  You probably never thought sunscreen could have an effect on the environment, but it does. Every year 14,000 tons of sunscreen washes off of people and into the ocean. Unfortunately, a lot of that sunscreen contains Oxybenzone and Octinoxate, chemicals that cause coral reefs to bleach.
