☠️ The Hidden Dangers of Chemical Sunscreens

You think you’re protecting your skin—but your sunscreen might be doing the opposite.

Most drugstore sunscreens are loaded with chemical UV filters like oxybenzone, avobenzone, and octinoxate. These aren’t just irritating—they’re toxic. At Joshua Tree Sunblock Company, we’ve seen what sun, wind, and chemicals can do to your skin. That’s why we went natural from day one—with non-nano mineral zinc.

🧪 What’s Hiding in Your Sunscreen?

Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat. But that process comes with a cost:

• Oxybenzone is linked to hormone disruption and allergic reactions
• Octinoxate damages coral reefs and may cause reproductive toxicity
• Avobenzone breaks down in sunlight and can trigger skin sensitivity

And that’s just the short list.

🌿 Why We Use Mineral Zinc Instead

Zinc oxide works differently—it reflects UV rays without soaking into your body. It’s:

• Safe for all skin types, even babies and sensitive skin
• Naturally healing and anti-inflammatory
• Environmentally safe, meaning no harm to reefs or wildlife
• Stable in sunlight, unlike chemical ingredients that break down

🏜️ Desert-Tested, Body-Safe

We didn’t make our sunblock to be trendy—we made it because our skin needed it. Whether you’re tattooed, weathered, or just don’t want to get cancer from your SPF, mineral zinc is the move.

👉 Stop trusting what’s in the bottle.
