Safe Sunscreens

September 14, 2011

This list of safe sunscreens is approved by the Environmental Working Group! They paid $13,000 per child to do the Ten Americans study you find on their site www.ewg.org. These are highly motivated people to stop poisoning our planet. This is a list of safe sunscreens that you can use without the worry of toxins from conventional sun screens.

I rarely if ever use suncreen and I am a redhead! Don’t forget that sun is actually good for health (Vitamin D to offer just one benefit). I am not saying go out and get burned mind you but out of respect to the strong feelings of many who urge people to never let the sun touch them, this is a list of safe sunscreen products that at least will do no harm!

This Melamine Article is very similar to my reasons for recommending that my patients use stainless steel pots and pans instead of non-stick. It really is worth the effort to use stainless steel and have to use some elbow grease to clean the pan. There are documented studies that show birds will die from the fumes of food [...]
