What's worse? The sun, or the toxins in the sunscreens? It's not an either/or situation. Regular exposure to the sun lets your skin adapt to defend itself against harmful rays, all the while making vitamin D. So tanning is a healthy response, and those who get regular exposure to the sun lower their skin cancer risk. Burning is absolutely not healthy – it clearly increases your risk of deadly skin cancer.

So what to do? You'll learn everything you need to know to stay safe and select safe products for you and your loved ones. We'll make a safe, all natural sun protection cream using cocoa or shea butter or coconut oil, plus zinc oxide, and you'll go home with 120 ml in a beautiful re-usable frosted glass jar. A $12 value, all included!
