CDC: Most Americans’ Blood Tainted With Toxic Sunscreen Chemical

On the heals of the National Geographic Green Guide report on Swimmers' Sunscreen Killing of Coral, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) published the full Center for Disease Control press release regarding oxybenzone absorption concerns with full analysis from EWG.

The press release states, "The bodies of nearly all Americans are contaminated with a sunscreen chemical that has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). A companion study from the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine found that the same chemical is linked to low birth weight in baby girls whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy." The primarily chemical listed was oxybenzone.

The EWG analysis of the press release dives deeper into concerns about how oxybenzone damages and penetrates the skin, how oxybenzone may disrupt the human hormone system, the adverse effects on children and the environment of oxybenzone, and the long over due need for an FDA investigation into oxybenzone.

Natural Products Expo


Great weekend for Soléo Organics All Natural Sunscreen at Natural Products Expo 2008. With our great location at booth 3200 we were able to talk to what seemed like an endless number of people interested in an All Natural alternative to chemical based sunscreen. Both market buyers and end consumers stopped by to investigate Soléo Organics All Natural Sunscreen, Natralox Anti-Aging Cream, and our complete line of Elizabeth Jane Natural Cosmetics. We also had numerous business partners stop by including; Celestial Natural Foods, Euphoria, Little Five Points Pharmacy, and Pacific Market.

Our consumers were happy to know that Caren Online was offering them a 10% discount on Soléo Organics All Natural Sunscreen at the show.

We are really looking forward to spreading the word at future events. Leo Fung, inventor of Soléo was in the booth Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night our party with our friends at Sambazon with live music from Paton Banton & Kush and the Bloodfiyah Angels was amazing. I a great time relaxing with a 4 Copus Organic Margarita, some Malie candles burning, and listening to some really great music.

We also launched our new sport size of Soléo Organics All Natural Sunscreen. This 1 oz version contains the same formula found in the 2.6 oz size, but is more portable. The Soléo Sport Tube comes equipped with a carabiner that can easily attach to a backpack, stroller, belt clip, sports bag, etc.


Don't forget that summer is coming and we have some great show specials to stock up on both our 2.6 oz tube and our new 1 oz sport tube. 5% off all orders until March 31, 2008.
