The story behind our beloved Sol turtle logo
HOW IT ALL STARTED ALL STARTED
Caribbean Sol was founded by current President, Bruce Shanks. His 40+ years of experience in the beach concessions industry, over time, opened his eyes to the need for a well-rounded, Natural, sun care product that was safe for both our marine ecosystem and our skin
Research in recent years has proven this need accurate. After years of working with a micro-biologist, Bruce and his team came up with a sunscreen formula that was not only natural but, biodegradable in nature
To this day, Caribbean Sol is one of the very few brands that have not had to alter ingredients due to new laws and regulations in the industry
Natural, Safe, Sun Care since 2004.
THE DIFFERENCE
MINERAL VS. CHEMICAL SPF MINERAL VS. CHEMICAL SPF
(THEM) CHEMICAL SUNSCREEN
Years of research have shown that chemical sunscreen can be toxic But what exactly is chemical sunscreen, and how does it impact your customers? What implications does it have for our planet? Understanding these questions is crucial for effectively communicating with your buyers. A sale occurs when they grasp the differences and similarities between the environment and the human body. By educating them on the WHAT, the WHY, and the HOW, you can create lifelong customers.
Chemical sunscreen penetrates the skin through pores, where it absorbs UV rays from the sun, converting them into heat before releasing that heat from the body Research indicates that the chemicals in these SPF products can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to hormonal imbalances and adverse skin reactions Alarmingly, the same chemicals responsible for these issues in humans are also linked to environmental harm, particularly in marine ecosystems When washed off the skin, these chemicals can cause irreversible damage and even death to marine life the very creatures that attract many tourists
(US) MINERAL SUNSCREEN
In contrast, mineral sunscreen rests on the skin, forming a physical barrier against the sun’s rays. As long as the active mineral is non-nano, it is too large to penetrate the pores. By using mineral protection derived from the Earth, this type of sunscreen can safely re-enter the environment after washing off. Mineral sunscreen is recognized as a safer and more sustainable choice for both human skin and the ecosystem

APPLICATION
101 101
The proper application of a mineral sunscreen is essential when promoting our products The active component in Caribbean Sol & Hawaiian Sol Mineral sunscreens is Non-Nano Zinc Non-Nano indicates that the particle sizes are regulated to prevent them from entering the pores. Zinc, a natural mineral, is mined and ground into a fine powder for use in cosmetics. When applied generously and with vigor, this mineral may leave a white tint on the skin Customers may inquire whether our sunscreen will leave a white residue The answer is yes, but with correct application techniques, you can avoid the unwanted "Casper" appearance.
Ensure your employees and customers are well-trained on the correct application to minimize returns and guarantee proper usage. To assist you and your shoppers, we have developed application cards that can be conveniently accessed at the point of sale Simply follow these steps for proper application of our sunscreen products
1 1 START WITH A PEA TO DIME SIZED AMOUNT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
2 2 APPLY SMALL DOTS OF SUNSCREEN ON EXPOSED AREAS
3 3 USING YOUR HAND AS A PAINT BRUSH GENTLY BLEND SUNSCREEN ONTO YOUR SKIN

DID YOU KNOW?! KNOW?!
Our turtle logo came together after a round table discussion of wanting to re-brand We wanted to center our new logo around our commitment to sustainability, and our mission from day one:
To formulate a sun care product made from ingredients found IN our planet Ingredients that, when released back into our waterways, dissolve without poisoning where they land
Turtles symbolize longevity, protection, healing, and transformation. They have become a poster for our earth and the sustainability of our Planet We chose to create our turtle around our mission to protect, heal and transform the sun care industry Using ingredients found in the earth, that when released back into the earth, preserve it and create a safe place for turtles and other life on our planet, including your skin
Our turtle was created with a leaf as its shell to symbolize plant-based ingredients, blue legs to symbolize our waterways that continue to be polluted by the chemically formulated products we wash off our bodies
