It is officially summertime and as the temperature continues to increase, more people eagerly head to the pool or the beach. While the sun does provide essential Vitamin D, too much sun can harm your skin. Typically, sun-worshipers have slathered on a myriad of tropical scented lotions and sprays in order to protect themselves from the sun’s harmful UV rays not really paying too much attention to what is in the product. The focal point has been primarily what number the SPF or sun protection factor is.
However, thanks to many consumer awareness groups, issues have been raised about the purity and kinds of ingredients used in sun care products. The reason for this concern is that the chemicals in your sun care can actually cause more damage than good. Another major issue for conscious consumers is whether or not these products are tested on animals and contain animal derived ingredients. Conscious consumers are especially particular about how the products that they choose to buy are made. Once a conscious consumer is hooked, the loyalty is instantaneous mainly because there are not many companies out there that produce a pure, high quality and vegan sun care product.

Love 4 Animals Fundraiser for NYC Shelter Animals
Please try to come to this fund raiser which has really helped to save so many lives. If you are looking to have fun in NYC and attend a very worthwhile cause, please purchase your tickets now as the number of tickets is limited. The NYC4ACC gives 100% of funds to the AC&C to help improve facilities, expand adoption services, provide medical supplies, transportation services, food, toys and medical attention to the hundreds of shelter dogs and cats in need. While the AC&C is contracted by the city to care for the homeless animals that are rejected from other shelters, the AC&C is severely underfunded.
How The Coral Reef Wildlife Trade Is Degrading Coral Reefs
There is another big problem facing marine life. It is being done for the sake of fashion and exotic home décor, which is a $330 million dollar industry. An estimated 70-90% of marine aquariums are collected illegally using poisonous cyanide. Other poisons such as bleach, formalin, and gasoline are also used. This not only reduces biodiversity but also removes key components of the reef ecosystem, including algae grazers, which help maintain ecosystem health. Coral reefs contain some of the largest diversity of life in the world. They are home to thousands of different plants and animals.
