Do you love being outside enjoying the sunshine? I know I sure do!

Whether you are camping, swimming, or putting down miles on a hiking trail, essential oils are perfect to take along with you. The goal is to combine the best parts of summertime with the beauty of nature. Essential oils are a natural solution that’s easy to use. So before heading off to your next adventure, tuck a few essential oils in your bag.

Hey sun-lovers! Stay safe in the sun this summer and avoid those toxic sunscreens at all costs.

Conventional sunscreens often contain harmful ingredients like:

1. Oxybenzone: Absorbed easily, linked to allergies and hormone disruption.
2. Octinoxate: Affects thyroid hormones, may cause allergies.
3. Homosalate: Penetrates skin, disrupts hormones, produces toxic byproducts.
4. Octisalate: Absorbs at high levels, linked to allergies and endocrine effects.
5. Octocrylene: Absorbs at high levels, may harm aquatic life, potential carcinogen contamination.
6. Avobenzone: Unstable, can cause allergies, disrupts hormones….

Instead, opt for a safe, mineral based alternative, like the doTERRA’s Sun Line!
