\"Block<\/a>Sun protection is a big issue here in the mountains and needs to be taken seriously. \u00a0The sun is hot and intense. \u00a0You can burn a lot more quickly here than at sea level. \u00a0Most people doing outside activities actively wear sunscreen along with\u00a0big hats to help keep their face and head covered.<\/p>\n

However most sunscreens are filled with a lot of nasty chemicals. \u00a0Yeah they are keeping you from getting sunburnt but at what cost? \u00a0What exactly are we putting on to our skin to keep it “safe”?<\/p>\n

When I was contacted by Block Island Organics<\/a> to test out their all natural sunscreen I immediately jumped at the chance. Block Island focuses on bringing natural skin care products to consumers. \u00a0I was told that all of their\u00a0products are free of parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, phthalates, dyes and artificial fragrances. \u00a0No animal testing and all products have a vegan base formula.<\/i><\/p>\n

I was all in! \u00a0Since I’ve been doing more hiking this year, outside yard work, and running, I needed a quality sunscreen. \u00a0I like that this sunscreen was made from all natural zinc and didn’t have any junk added to it.<\/p>\n

The Pros:<\/p>\n
