Why Natural Sunscreen

 Eat Organic? Shouldn’t Sunscreen Be Organic Too?

quality assurance organicIn today’s world, it seems that we constantly hear messages that you should “go natural,” and as such, you might be asking yourself why should you choose a natural sunscreen. The conventional sunscreen you have purchased your whole life works just fine at preventing sunburn.  While that may be true, take a moment and look at the ingredients on the bottle of sunscreen that you purchased for the summer. If you find ingredients such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, or even isobutane, you may want to consider the purchase of Goddess Garden’s natural sunscreen.

The Difference Between Natural and Conventional Sunscreens

Again, take the look at the ingredients you find in Goddess Garden and you will find why natural sunscreens are the best choice for you and your family. We include natural sunscreen ingredients such as sunflower, radish, and active ingredients like zinc and titanium.  These natural ingredients are every bit as effective as those found in conventional sunscreens, and in many ways, natural sunscreens are actually more effective than conventional sunscreens. Here’s why…

Look for these labels on your sunscreen!

Natural is Effective Immediately
When you apply natural sunscreen, you can go out into the sun without having to worry about a sunburn. With conventional sunscreens, you need to wait 15 to 20 minutes before it protect you from the sun. This is because the active chemical ingredients in conventional sunscreens actually have to sink down into the different layers of your skin before they become “active.” Since our minerals actually sit on top of your skin, they are effective immediately!

Natural reflects, Conventional Absorbs
As mentioned above, natural mineral ingredients actually sit on top of your skin. While it sits on top of your skin it acts like a mirror and reflects sunlight away from your body. The ingredients used in conventional sunscreen actually absorb the sun’s potentially carcinogenic rays into your body!

Natural doesn’t have any harsh chemicals!
I started Goddess Garden because my daughter Paige was allergic to conventional body care products. Because of this, we take care to only include the safest organic ingredients to create our products. I want what is the safest for my family just like you want what is the safest for yours!  You will never find any hormone disrupting chemicals such as oxybenzone in our sunscreens. Only great natural ingredients like minerals, lavender, radish, soy, and sunflower!
