In my quest for chemical free sunscreen I found a new product by Desert Essence Organics. I wanted a non-chemical SPF cream I could use everyday, but I could also use on my girls if I needed to. At our co-op I found this Mineral Sunscreen with an SPF of 30. I know from using California Baby as well that the mineral creams do not spread on as easily, but this is the price you have to pay to be chemical free.
What I really like about this brand is that it seems they are free of all the toxic chemicals I write about on this blog.
The website declares, "Our new Desert Essence Organics line is 100% Vegan and is wheat and gluten free. It has NO parabens, NO Sodium Laurel/Laureth Sulfates, NO Phthalates, NO Artificial Fragrances or Colors, NO Silicones, NO EDTA, NO Glycols and NO Petroleum based ingredients. Our products are Cruelty Free and Biodegradable. They are good for you and good for the planet."
Sounds great to me!
I looked at their ratings on the Skin Deep database, and it looks like this new line has not been rated yet. I wasn't thrilled with what looks like their old products' ratings, but the new line seems to have been much improved.

Hey! Thanks for all the great info. I was browsing through a bunch of green websites and blogs and I came across yours and found it very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like the daily green, ecorazzi and earthlab.com. I especially like EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). I find it really easy to use (it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it). Are there any others you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites (let me know if they are the same as mine).
Thanks Alex! I will check out some of your favorites, thanks for sharing. I love the links on my blogroll, of course, but there are so many great green sites.
