Dangers of Sunscreen and Insect Spray

What dangers lurk in your summer products? If your sunscreen contains any of these chemicals you should dump them now.
Para amino benzoic acid
Octyl salicyclate
Avobenzone
Cinoxate
Homosalate
Menthyl anthranilate
Octocrylene

The Sun is NOT Deadly
In fact the sun is healthy for you. In moderation Sun provides us with vitamin D. As soon as the sun’s ultraviolet rays strike your skin, your body is programmed to produce its own natural vitamin D. Of course if you are going to be outdoors all day long you should use a natural sunscreen. I recommend Alba, Jason, Burt’s Bees or Badger.


DEET is more dangerous than you think!
DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) is a chemical that was patented by the US Army in 1946. Most commercial insect repellents are made of varying concentrations of DEET. Heavy exposure to DEET and other insecticides can cause eye and skin irritation, memory loss, headaches, weakness, fatigue, muscle/joint pain, nausea and more.

Give one of our natural insect repellents a try. I like Burt’s Bees Herbal Insect Repellent or Badger Anti-Bug Balm.
