How To Have A Toxin Free Summer Guide
Enjoying a Toxin-Free Summer: Your Guide to Natural Products
As summer approaches, it brings with it sunshine, outdoor adventures, and the joys of spending time in nature. Unfortunately, many conventional products might pose health risks or contain harmful ingredients. This year, why not embrace a toxin-free summer by opting for natural alternatives? In this post, we’ll explore the importance of natural sunscreen, our tallow sunburn cream, and effective deet-free bug repellents to keep you and your loved ones safe during the sun-soaked season.
Natural Sunscreen: Shielding Your Skin
Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is essential, but many conventional sunscreens contain questionable chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which can be absorbed into the skin. Instead, choose a natural sunscreen that utilizes mineral-based ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These are safer alternatives that create a barrier on your skin, reflecting harmful rays while nourishing it with natural ingredients. Some great natural sunscreen brands are Badger , Primally Pure, and Toups and Co. (not affiliated)
When selecting a natural sunscreen, look for products that are biodegradable, reef-safe, and made from organic ingredients. Avoid added fragrances and opt for those that include moisturizing ingredients to hydrate and soothe your skin. Pass on sunscreen aerosols since they can be harmful due to their chemical-based propellants and respiratory risk if inhaled.
Sunburn Relief: A Soothing Solution
Even with the best sunscreen, sunburns can happen. Keep our Tallow Sunburn Cream on hand this summer for quick relief from sunburn. This unique product harnesses the power of grass-fed tallow known for their anti-inflammatory properties, to soothe and heal sun-damaged skin.
Tallow is rich in fatty acids which are essential for the skin’s repair and regeneration processes. Our Tallow Sunburn Cream also includes skin-loving botanicals like aloe vera and rosehip, known for their soothing effects. When applied to sunburned areas, it delivers deep nourishment, helping to reduce redness and promote healing. The result? Happy, healthy skin without harmful chemicals.
Natural Deet-Free Bug Repellents: Keep Bugs at Bay
There’s nothing more annoying than pesky bugs ruining your summer fun. Traditional bug repellents often contain DEET, a chemical that can irritate the skin and be absorbed into the bloodstream. This summer, opt for natural, DEET-free bug repellents that effectively ward off insects without harmful side effects. Our Tallow Bug Balm is made with our nourishing grass-fed tallow and essential oils that repel bugs and help with bug bite itch relief.
Look for repellents that use plant-based oils like citronella, eucalyptus, lavender, and cedarwood. These essential oils are known for their bug-repelling properties and will leave you smelling wonderful. Our carefully crafted natural bug repellent blends these effective ingredients into an easy-to-apply formula, providing a safe shield against annoying insects while ensuring your skin remains happy and healthy.
