During warm weather, many people will be using sunscreens to protect themselves from what they perceive as dangerous sunshine. Many of these same people will opt for commercial brand sunscreens and therefor increasing their risk for cancer due to poisonous toxins inside the bottle.  Would you eat it? “NO!” Then why let your skin drink it directly into your bloodstream?!?  These “false protectors” contain aluminum, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum oxide, aluminum silicate, aluminum stearate, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate (which is a known neurotoxin and PRO-oxidant). Many researchers know that the sun is not responsible for the skin cancers, but in fact the aluminum in the sunscreens. Please opt for a holistic, green sunscreen. Look for an ANTI-oxidant, moisturizer and skin protector. Here are 5 holistic, green alternatives to the TOXIC commercial brand sunscreens:
