Nasty Chemical of the Month:

Sunscreen or Sunscream?
There’s no particular one chemical this month. As we’re in the height of summer I ask that everyone please take care when using sunscreen. First and foremost – check the ingredient list! I was chatting with a shop keeper who had tried, without success, every commercial cleaner out there to remove graffiti spray-painted on the front of her shop. She eventually found something that did remove it – sunscreen! One can only imagine the harsh chemicals that goes into such a formulation. Quickly scanning through the sunscreen products at my local chemist, myriad nasties with names too long to try to pronounce, dominate ingredients lists. Consider natural alternatives such as UV Natural’s sunscreen, Rosehip Skincare’s Suncare Oil and Wotnot’s face and body sunscreen lotions to protect you and your loved ones this summer.
