Organic Sunscreen
What is an organic sunscreen?
A sunscreen cream or lotion that has not been
manufactured using synthetic chemicals or
genetically modified organisms (GMOs), is
known as an organic sunscreen. No synthetic
herbicides or pesticides are used for the
growth of agricultural products that have been
used in the sunscreen.

Why is it Important to use
Organic Sunscreen?
Dermatologists say that long term use
of synthetic products on your skin will
ultimately damage your overall health, since
they are non-biodegradable and not ecofriendly. Purchase sunscreens that contain
titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It has been
dermatologically tested and proved that these
two compounds are safe to be used, even on a
baby’s skin.
Avoid the four chemicals in sunscreens
that are considered most damaging to your
skin and the world around you. They are
Benzophenone, Paraben, 4 methyl benzylidene
camphor, and Cinnamate. These chemicals are
especially used in spray sunscreen; so avoid
the purchase of spray sunblock bottles.
