I recently received a sample of Marie Veronique Organics Moisturizing Face Screen, SPF 30 – Light Tint. The cream feels amazing and has anti-aging plus aromatherapy benefits. MV Organics has created an organic tinted moisturizing sunblock that enhances a sun kissed face while offering protection from premature aging. This silky smooth face protector:
“Protects against the complete UVA/UVB spectrum sunscreen, naturally, safely and effectively and provides extraordinary moisturizing and healing properties with red raspberry, sea buckthorn, and emu oils.”
Marie (shown above) shares:
“our entire company is dedicated to sustainability...Wherever possible we use natural, organic and fair trade ingredients, packaged in 100% recyclable materials. And we source them as close to our Berkeley headquarters as possible to keep our footprint super small.”

In addition to caring for your skin, MV Organics also reaches out across the globe and donates 10% of profits to The Acumen Fund, “dedicated to creating better opportunities for women and children in Third World countries.”
Now you have another option to try when it comes to helping you protect your skin from UV exposure to reduce cancer risk and prevent unnecessary aging (caring for yourself and caring for humanity).
