Q A
Sun Safety How can I protect my skin from sun damage without all the harmful chemicals found in many products? Kristin Blakey at Rebecca’s Natural Food recommends the Green Screen Organic Sunscreen SPF 32 Original by Kabana Organic Skincare (4 oz. $14.50). It’s a broad spectrum (UVA & UVB protection) zinc oxide based sunscreen that is baby-safe, chemical free, fragrance free, biodegradable and perfect for sensitive skin. And for those who are looking for a hint of color, Kabana also makes a tinted sunscreen available in shades ranging from neutral to bronze.
