SUMOskinny: Celebrate Summer With Raw Elements USA
Local lifeguard helps to develop new sunscreen products - epic beach expo and paddle race ensues.
By Stacey Laesca
It’s officially summer, which means one thing in my world: hitting the beach, hard. There is nothing better then packing up a cooler, putting on my floaties and building a dribble castle (a sandcastle made by dribbling wet sand onto itself) with my friends. Hell, I even love the bikini bottom filled with sand. But the one thing I dislike intensely is my bright red lobster burn at the end of the day.
Fear not my pale-skinned friends, Raw Elements USA is here to help. The eco-friendly sunscreen company was developed by ocean state lifeguard Brian Guadagno to help save us all from premature aging.

I had the chance to test the stuff out in its early stages, and while normal sunscreen is in my top three favorite smells, this stuff smelled good enough to eat. This summer make sure to protect yourself with Raw Elements Eco Formula 30+, which recently was awarded a #1 rating by the Environmental Working Group, receiving the honor for its sun protection factor and for being so eco-friendly, Al Gore himself would probably wear it.
Join Raw Elements USA and friends to kick off summer right at the Waterman Eco-Challenge 3 mile ocean paddle event, to raise awareness for ocean and sun safety.
