Sunnier Days to Come

Contributed By: ecofabulous

Spring’s making its way to summer quicker than ever this year, so it’s time to start stocking up on sunscreen for outdoor hikes, days at the beach and lazy afternoon napping in the park. But as Environmental Working Group’s Vice President of Research Jane Houlihan stated back in 2007 with the release of their safe sunscreen database, “Always use sunscreen, but not all sunscreens are created equal.” That’s why we’ll be sporting Vivesana sunscreen while soaking up the rays this year.

The 100% natural, synthetic-free, organic sunscreen line is a totally conscious product. What do we mean by this? Vivesana has thought through every decision from purpose to product to packaging. With an “open kitchen” ingredient list, and a commitment to being selective and purposeful with everything chosen (Sana touts that “the ends of our lists are just as sparkling as the beginnings”), the sunscreen is simply one of the best, most effective, safest products possible. Simple as that.

But the thoughtfulness doesn’t end with the product alone - Vivesana is just as concerned about the packaging. Instead of contributing to the sea of plastic containers found on most store shelves, Vivesana chose aluminum packaging produced in the U.S. (in Kentucky, to be precise) - this way it’s infinitely recyclable! Time to cross over to the sunny side of the road.
