OUTDOORS

Sunscreen is a high-contact product, it is applied repeatedly and it can wash off into soil and water.
Several common chemical UV filters (including oxybenzone and octinoxate) have been shown to absorb into the bloodstream,
and researchers are still studying what long-term, repeated exposure means.

We prioritize non-nano zinc oxide mineral sunscreen because it provides broad-spectrum protection while staying at the skin’s surface,
and it helps reduce unnecessary chemical load entering water systems.

Bug repellent is another high-contact product, and conventional options often come as fragrance-heavy aerosols in single-use packaging.
We stock plant-based repellents in balms, sprays, and refill formats, with clear kid-aware label guidance.

The goal is straightforward protection, with less plastic, less drift, and fewer unnecessary extras.

Time outside should not quietly add plastic waste or chemical runoff to the same places we are trying to enjoy.
