Made with non-nano zinc oxide, this sunscreen gives you peace of mind that you are choosing the safest sun protection for yourself, your family, and the planet.

Key Ingredients

We love that this product is a base of non-nano zinc oxide, but it is also filled with skin-loving essential oils like Helichrysum, Carrot Seed, and Frankincense that put a protective barrier on your skin and help retain the skin's natural moisture while out in the sun.

  • Non-nano Zinc Oxide - provides broad-spectrum sun protection to prevent burns (even on photo-sensitive skin); aids skin healing and recovery after injury
  • Helichrysum - a powerful regenerative oil that soothes, moisturizes and helps heal the skin
  • Myrrh - an ultimate skincare oil; soothes and moisturizes the skin and help promote natural healing
  • Carrot Seed - provides skin moisturizing, protection, and cleansing properties
  • Sacred Frankincense - the variety of Frankincense given to Jesus at his birth; a wonderful oil for skin soothing and healing and protection
Why Ditch Conventional Sunscreen

Did you know that up to 75 percent of sunscreens are toxic, hiding many irritating chemicals? All those products whose active ingredients are avobenzone or oxybenzone (or something similar!) may be preventing some sun damage, but they are doing other damage at the same time. They can cause allergies, skin sensitivities, disrupt your hormones, and cause airway irritation.

Plus, most commercial products work by blocking either UVA or UVB rays but not both types. This means that chemical sunscreen manufacturers need to combine several different formulas/solutions into one product to prevent sunburns. The more chemicals that are added to the formula, the higher the chances are for negative reactions, allergies, and hormone damage. And for individuals with more sensitive skin, these sunscreens won't always prevent skin cancer and often cause reactions like hives, swelling and acne.

Let's talk about reefs super quickly. An estimated 14,000 tons of sunscreen go into the ocean each year and most (all the chemical based ones) kill coral reefs. It is such a problem that Hawaii passed a bill banning these chemical ingredients that harm coral reefs!

Just say no, friend. Grab some Mineral Sunscreen. Your skin, your health, the planet, and likely your dermatologist will thank you!

How to Use Mineral Sunscreen

  • Apply liberally to clean, dry skin 15 minutes before sun exposure.
  • Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating.
  • Reapply immediately after towel drying or at least every 2 hours.

Hello! I'm Jennifer Meckel

 

I am very passionate about helping you achieve the best YOU that you can be!


A little about myself. I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I am married to a wonderful and supportive man named Sean since 2003 - all wonderful years. We have two smart and sassy daughters, Emmy is 10 and in 4th grade in the Mandarin Immersion program and Lilly is 6 and in kindergarten. I like to paper craft and make my own cards, I like to sew (though don’t have much time for that lately) and I just returned to belly dancing now that Lilly is getting bigger.


I’ve been using essential oils and infused products for since October 2015 and absolutely love this lifestyle and how it makes me and my family feel. I started my oily journey after sitting next to another mom at a play date.  We started talking about my infertility issues, and she suggested I try Young Living’s essential oils to support my hormones.  After a year of intentionally exercising, eating better, and using oils to support my hormones and emotions, I became pregnant with Lilly, right before my first time attending the International YL Convention in Salt Lake City in 2016. There is so much more to tell about this story, and I’m open and willing to share with you, if you are interested.


So, tell me more about yourself!  Tell me about the season of life you are in now. Tell me about your family. 


In health, wellness, and abundance!
