MORRO BAY, CA (January 23, 2012) -Many are making healthier, more sustainable choices when it comes to what goes in their bodies, but what about what goes on?
As the sunnier seasons set in, green your ‘˜screen by choosing chemical-free over conventional with Elemental Herbs sun care products -coral-reef-safe formulas made with all-natural ingredients, including organic healing herbs and oils.
Boasting broad UVA/UVB protection, the company‘s SPF 30 Sunscreen Sport™and Sunstick™products bring pure, non-nano zinc oxide as an active ingredient -but without its usual ghostly glow. The goes-on-clear formulas can be slathered on without worry of unsightly white residue.
