Is Your Sunscreen Safe?

Sunscreens are necessary; but not just any old sunscreen. Be sure to check yours for toxicity. It's easy.

With the recent announcement in the news concerning sunscreens slowing the aging of skin, it is a good time to remind all that a sunscreen is not just a sunscreen.  Just like most everything else, there is quality.  There have been studies that show that the toxicity of the sunscreens themselves are far more dangerous than the sun itself.

It's easy to check your sunscreen; and it's easy to find one that is not toxic at all.
