Sunscreen Safety You Need to Know to Protect & Support Your Health
Episode Summary
Have you ever stopped to question if sunscreen safety is really working for you — or possibly working against you? In this episode of Becoming Natural, I take you through the surprising science, history, and holistic truth behind sunscreen safety, sunburns, and sun exposure.
From childhood stories of tanning with baby oil to modern mineral-based sunscreens, I open up about my journey of learning how to protect my skin while supporting my hormones, health, and healing. We’ll explore why natural sunlight is actually good for us, how ingredients in our favorite sun-care products could be doing harm, and what the research really says about sunscreen safety today.
This episode doesn’t just stop at warnings — we dive into what you can do instead. You’ll get practical advice on mineral-based sunscreens, supportive nutrition for your skin, and how habits like morning sunlight exposure and grounding can actually reset your body’s clock and reduce inflammation.
Key Takeaways on Sunscreen Safety:
- Opt for mineral-based sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide 🧴 for the best sunscreen safety
- Limit chemical filters like oxybenzone, octinoxate & avobenzone
- Get daily morning sun without sunglasses to reset your internal clock
- Eat colorful fruits & veggies to support your skin from the inside out 🍅
- Use natural after-sun care like aloe, castor oil, or CBD to soothe inflammation
I also share why sunburn is more than just red skin — it’s inflammation — and how to heal it naturally without fear. And don’t miss the spiritual wrap-up connecting sunlight, healing, and Christ.
Tune in to feel equipped, informed, and inspired to embrace sunlight wisely. This is sunscreen safety redefined — backed by science, grounded in faith, and guided by nature.
