Summer Special: Sunscreen: Senators
Make a move and be part of a Movement!
HELP US REFORM THE COSMETICS INDUSTRY - Time to act!
What if every one sent two emails today to their U.S. senators? We asked our 8,000+ Beautycounter Consultants to take this action yesterday. So now its your turn! Things can and will change—but only with your help and your voice!
As participants in our movement for better beauty, I am calling on you to do three things today:
1) Read our position on the cosmetics bill HERE and learn about what we like and want to see strengthened in the bill.
2) Act by emailing your U.S. senators about the cosmetics reform bill. Here is link to find your senators. A sample email you can use is outlined in the blog link above. (2 mins is all it takes! I did it yesterday.)
3) Share this important information with your friends and family. This is means you, becuase you matter to me. Who matters to you?
Now that there is a bill in Congress to reform our outdated industry I would love to have you join me in this incredible opportunity to build the movement for better beauty.
Want to know more? Get involved, start educating yourself, and lets do this!!
SUNSCREEN, I get asked all the time for recommendations so here you go!
WHAT TO AVOID
Chemical sunscreens: Chemical sunscreens, like those with the ingredient oxybenezone, absorb through the skin and may disrupt the hormone system.
Nanoparticles: Extremely small molecules— one billionth of a meter—nanoparticles are often found in mineral sunscreens. Little is known about their safety, and their size means that they may be easily absorbed and enter the bloodstream.
Retinyl palmitate or retinol: These forms of vitamin A may speed the development of skin tumors when applied to sun-exposed skin.
WHAT TO CHOOSE INSTEAD
Non-nano mineral sunscreens: Such as those using non-nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
Staying covered: Did you know that a typical T-shirt has an SPF rating of 15? Also consider sun-protective clothing with 50+ UV protection. And accessorize with a broad-brimmed hat and UVA- and UVB-blocking sunglasses. We use non-nano zinc oxide, a safe and effective physical sunblocker.
CHECK OUT WHERE YOUR SUNSCREEN RATES BELOW:
ALL OVER PROTECTION - SUNSCREEN
This broad spectrum all over sunscreen works on your entire body (and is safe for use on your entire family, too). Formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, the lightweight, water-resistant formula sinks into skin without leaving white streaks or that tell-tale smell. Protect All Over’s non-nano UVA and UVB formula also includes aloe vera that hydrates skin and green tea and blood orange extracts that supply antioxidants. Wear Protect All Over Sunscreen from Monday to beach day, to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun.
Safe Because: Many sunscreens use chemical sun blockers like oxybenzone, which soaks through skin, triggers allergic skin reactions, and may be a hormone disruptor. Protect All Over uses non-nano zinc oxide, which is an effective, natural, and safe mineral sun blocker.
DEW SKIN - SPF Tinted Moisturizer
I've been using No.3 on the weekends when I need less coverage!
Safe Because: We use non-nano zinc oxide as our mineral sunblocker. We avoid chemical sunscreens, which may be linked to hormone disruption, and nanoparticles, which are extremely small, understudied particles.
