Best Eco-Safe Sunscreens for the Pool
You’re dying to cannonball into the deep end. You can feel it: the perfect form, excellent execution, epic splash. But then you recall the burn—that terrible sting that only comes from the water sloshing the toxic sunscreen substance into your eyes. Well, it doesn’t have to happen. All Terrain, the cool company that makes all natural products for the outdoor enthusiast, whipped up a solution that does the job of protecting UV rays without any irritation. The AquaSport Performance Sunscreen SPF 30 is oxybenzone and fragrance-free, but full of natural protection. What’s even cooler than being sting-free and in the pool, is the fact that All Terrain’s package is made of recycled and biodegradable materials.

This water-resistant, natural screen is completely void of irritating fragrance and nanoparticles (the microscopic particles caused by the breakdown of certain substances—these can be ingested into our systems through our pores, lungs etc). The family-run business has been making healing and natural products for over 16 years now. And their Badger Unscented SPF 30 Sunscreen is chock full of chlorine-combating, uber-hydrating extra virgin olive oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, sea buckthorn extracts and other skin superstars that make it perfect for the pool. So now you know what to toss in the bag with your towel.
