<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\nI’ll be honest, you guys: I am terrible about wearing sunscreen. It’s not that I have any problems with the idea – protecting your skin from the sun’s damaging rays makes a lot of sense – it’s just that sunscreen has never been part of my routine. When the super awesome folks at Sunology offered to send me some of their sunscreens to review, I was excited to try them out and see what working sunscreen into my day would look like.<\/p>\n
You don’t eat sunscreen, so how can any sunscreen not be vegan?<\/p>\n
Veganism is about more than food – it’s about eschewing any form of animal products or animal cruelty. Sunology doesn’t test its products on animals, and it doesn’t contain any animal-derived ingredients. Beeswax is a common ingredient in sunscreens, but Sunology uses candelila wax<\/a>, a natural vegan beeswax alternative, instead.<\/p>\n Liz did a great write-up recently about how chemical sunscreens damage not only your skin, but your health<\/a>. Here are a few of the main take-aways:<\/p>\n I’m an avid walker and runner, and that’s when I get most of my sun exposure, so that’s how I tested out the Sunology sunscreens they sent me. They sent me a few different sorts:<\/p>\n I didn’t test out the kids sunblock, because the box said it was for children 6 months and up, and my baby is only 3 months old right now.<\/p>\n The Natural Sunscreen<\/strong><\/a> goes on just like sunscreens you’re used to, but the Sunology uses a concentrated formula. Since there’s no added water, a little goes a long way. They say to apply it 15 minutes before sun exposure, so before I got me and my dog ready for our runs, I put it on. It rubbed in easily, and while it did feel a little greasy at first, once it absorbed I couldn’t even tell it was there. It held up nicely to a sweaty 3-mile run.<\/p>\n I liked the Natural Sunscreen OK, but the Sunblock Stick<\/strong><\/a> was really great! It looks just like a miniature deodorant stick and is a lot less messy to apply. The stick is small enough to stash in my purse, which is great since I always forget about sunscreen when I’m getting ready to head out. I tried the stick on a long walk, and it held up well!<\/p>\nWhy mineral sunscreen?<\/h2>\n
