How to Apply Soléo Organics All Natural Sunscreen

2008-06-06T12:58:00.000-07:00

Soléo Organics All Natural Sunscreen contains a concentrated formula of sun block to protect against UV-A and UV-B sun rays. This is a guide for users that want to properly apply the Soléo product.

Remove the tube of Soléo from its box.

Knead thoroughly.
The formula is comprised of organic ingredients that may separate if exposed to extreme heat or settle if not used regularly. Just remember Knead Me Before You Use Me!

The first time you use the tube, you will need to remove the foil cover. To do this, simply remove the cap and peel the foil cover from the tube, then reattach the cap.

This is what your tube should look like when the foil is removed from the tube.

The first time you use the bottle, you may notice excessive oil coming from the tube. This is a byproduct of the manufacturing process. Simply discard this small amount of oil and squeeze out some additional sunscreen.

A small amount is all you need too start. The amount above is generally enough to cover the forearm of an adult male.

When you first apply Soléo you may notice that familiar white look of zinc. If this is the case simply continue rubbing Soléo over more surface area until you no longer see the white zinc.

When properly applied, your skin should look natural with no obvious white film.

The Soléo containers are made from 100% recyclable material. Simply remove the cap from the tube and recycle the cap, tube, and box.

Additional Tips

Try to stay out of the sun during peak hours for your location. Typically between 10:00 am and 4:00 PM.
Seek shade in the middle of the day.
Try to wear SPF protected clothing and cover sensitive areas.
Wear a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses during daylight hours.
Wear sunscreen daily, even if there is cloud cover.
Apply your Soléo 20 minutes before any outdoor or water based activity. Don't forget to cover feet and ears!
Reapply your Soléo often. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends you reapply your sunscreen at least every 2 hours.
Reapply your Soléo after perspiring.
Reapply your Soléo after water activities.
Reapply your Soléo after towel drying.
Remember the American Cancer Society says Slip, Slop, Slap, Wrap

Slip on a shirt,
Slop on some Soléo,
Slap on a hat,
Wrap on some sunglasses.

Soléo in the Galapagos

2008-05-13T16:38:00.000-07:00

The Galapagos Islands are considered one of the few wonders of the world and rightfully so. My husband and I headed down to Ecuador with this in mind. We wanted to see the islands before they were lost to tourism and agriculture. The good news is this isn’t the case. The people of Ecuador are preserving this wholesome environment. We took Soleo Sunscreen to help do our part. I felt good putting Soleo on before I went for a swim or snorkeled around one of the many coral reefs. When it rained, I knew I wouldn’t be washing toxins into the soil around the many endemic species. I have to admit, I was a little worried about taking two small bottles of “organic” sunscreen to protect us against the intense sunshine of the Galapagos. Not only was Soleo concentrated enough to last my husband and I for the entire eleven days, but we were well protected. I even used less the last few days I was there so that people back in our home state of Montana knew I had been somewhere warm. After using Soleo in the Galapagos, I want to use it while I work as a whitewater raft guide on the rivers here in Montana. Soleo is helping to protect abroad, here in the States and now in my own home town.

Gracias Soleo!

The Natural Alternative

2008-04-21T13:08:00.000-07:00

Public awareness around the affects of chemicals in sunscreen has steadily increased since the January 2008 National Geographic article, Swimmers' Sunscreen Kill off Coral, and the March 2008 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Press Release, Americans Carry 'Body Burden' of Toxic Sunscreen Chemical. The Environmental Working (EWG) has expanded upon the CDC press release with analysis that cites additional research and concerns for oxybenzone, the focus of the CDC press release. They also list the 588 sunscreens that contain oxybenzone, also known as benzophenone-3, as well as other cosmetic products, including; moisturizers, lip balms, lip stick, conditioners, and fragrances. Concerns include how oxybenzone damages and penetrates skin, may disrupt the hormone system, and the effects on children.

Soléo Organics All Natural Sunscreen is one of a handful of products that do not contain any chemical UV-absorbers such as oxybenzone. Additionally Soléo Organics All Natural Sunscreen does not contain Titanium Dioxode, another UV-blocker, but rather uses Zinc Oxide as its only active ingredient. Furthermore, Soléo Organics All Natural Sunscreen is the first product to use only organically sourced ingredients for its cream, meaning all ingredients with the exception of the zinc oxide are organically sourced.

What is being said about Natralox

CDC: Most Americans’ Blood Tainted With Toxic Sunscreen Chemical

2008-03-25T15:04:00.000-07:00

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.

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.
