Most of us are getting smarter when it comes to preventing skin damage while in the sun.
However, not all sunscreens are as safe as you may think.
In fact, many sunscreen products contain ingredients that are not only damaging to the body but also harmful to the environment.
Since many sunscreens sit like an oil film on your skin, they may cause damage to lakes and oceans with toxic ingredients like parabens and benzophenone.
Green Beaver SPF30 non-whitening sunscreens (for adults and kids) are certified organic and approved by Health Canada.
The active ingredient in the biodegradable formula is 100% natural mineral zinc oxide which provides UVA and UVB protection. The formula does not contain chemical preservatives, petrolatum, synthetic fragrances, dyes, phthalates, or any other chemical ingredients.

anti-aging moisturizer formulated to keep your complexion healthy and supple.
The formula in this moisturizer contains five different facets that work together to keep your complexion healthy and supple:
Natural-looking Color Instead of Runs and Snags
According to a recent segment on the Rachael Ray show, the rules for wearing nude pantyhose have changed.

The Sun Shines All Year!
Whether you’re on the slopes or shopping at outdoor boutiques, winter is not the time to let down your guard. If you’re outside for long periods of time, you risk double exposure: UV rays from the sun and the reflection of light off of snow.
Sunscreen may not be sexy but it can keep your skin hydrated and young while you get your winter game on.
The good news about winter protection is that’s there’s a slew of products, that target different areas of your face and body.
High-tech Sportswear to Treat Your Skin

SunSoul Sunware, a Canadian company, produces clothing with fluorescent material that transmits light within a narrow spectral range to improve the appearance of your skin.

This is the same light that skincare professionals use to treat blemishes which has proven to be effective in reducing acne causing bacteria.
With a complete line of activewear including long- and short-sleeved tees, tanks, and hats, what could be better than wearing stylish clothes outdoors and treating acne at the same time.
Soothing Protection for Your Lips with a Hint of Color

Has Your Significant Other Been Dipping into Your Bronzer?
Men’s grooming products have been around for years, but the choices have been confined mostly to hair and shaving products. The original Brylcreem (a little dab’ll do ya) was created in the 1920s to keep shiny hair in place.

Hair and shaving products are still top sellers today, but bronzer is one of the standout products for the growing male cosmetics market. If your guy has been putting on too much mancake lately, show him the ropes when it comes to getting that natural, sporty glow.
First, explain the types of bronzers that are available exclusively for men. Bronzers for men are available in different formulations, from self-tanning gel to powders with brushes.
