But, I thought Sunscreen protected me?!

Why, yes! Sunscreen does protect your skin, however, not ALL sunscreens are good for you. Your skin is the largest organ in/on your body, and it has pores. That sunscreen + the chemicals inside it may be more harmful to you than helpful.

I was reading an article on the BodyMindSoulSpirit website (which has some notable health information), and it confirmed and informed me of a lot of information. Here are some bullet points from this article you should keep in mind before purchasing sunscreen:

• Chemicals and minerals filter out UVA and UVB rays. 
• Most commonly found chemical in sunscreens is, Avobenzone. 
• Thought to block UVB's the best, but happens to be an endocrine disruptor (the endocrine system comprises all the glands and hormones produced by these glands).
• Avobenzone is sometimes found in plastic bottles and toys. 
• Oxybenzone, huge chemical culprit in the sunscreen biz. 
• The Envirionmental Working Group (EWG) believe this chemical is causes hormone disruption as well as cell damage, which can lead to skin cancer. 

Check out the EWG's website on Safe Sunscreen's. It's awesome and worth the research time to find the best skin protection. 

Be safe and have fun in the sun!
