Sunblock

Is there a sustainable sunblock? YES! Here are a couple of ideas. Search your part of the country using this resource (Litterless.com).

The Naked Grocer here in Seattle, WA has sunblock in bulk form, and I’ll bet other zero waste stores do as well.  I think Beaver Balm has a sunblock in sustainable packaging as well as Manda.  Manda is a little tough to distribute on my face, unless you mix it with some oil based/coconut oil… easier to massage it around your face.   So, first choice: 

  1. Sustainable BYOC sunblock at the Naked Grocer (Capitol Hill, Seattle) or The Soap Dispensary in Vancouver BC 
  2. Manda Paste (#2 because it’s tough to move around my skin w/o additional oil… will still use it, far better than the alternative)
