EWG Rates Waxhead Sunscreens #1 in 2024

PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 

Waxhead Sun Defense, a leading organic and natural sun defense products company providing consumers with tools to play in the sun, is proud to announce all its sunscreens have been named to the Environmental Working Group, EWG Sunscreen “Best Beach & Sport” and “Best Sunscreen for Kids” list as top-rated in safety and effectiveness. Ten Waxhead Sunscreens have been rated #1 by EWG.

“The vast majority of sunscreens available to Americans aren’t as good as they should be,” said Sonya Lunder, senior research analyst at EWG and lead author of the guide. “Sunscreens will not improve until the Food and Drug Administration sets stronger rules, reviews harmful chemicals, and allows the use of new ingredients that offer stronger UVA protection.”

All Waxhead products reviewed by EWG received a top score of 1, reflective of both their high efficacy and their low hazard levels from exposure to the products’ ingredients. Waxhead sunscreens were found to be safe and effective, providing adequate levels of both UVA and UVB protection without the use of unsafe toxins and chemicals.

Waxhead sunscreens are formulated without use of any harmful ingredients, including oxybenzone, avobenzone, PABA, nano-technology, Vitamin A, artificial colors, paragons, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, fragrances, petrochemicals, or any other toxin. Waxhead sunscreens are made with 100% vegetarian ingredients and never undergo animal testing.

Surfers and divers are concerned about the scientific link between dying coral reefs and the estimated 4,000 to 6,000 tons of sunscreen washed off swimmers every year. All Waxhead sunscreens are ocean and reef safe.

Kari and Shannon Kenner launched Waxhead Sun Defense out of Amelia Island, Florida in 2017, after realizing how unsafe most big brand sunscreens were, even so-called healthy versions – they contained chemicals that contribute both to the destruction of marine environments and a 4% annual rise in skin cancer. Over the next year, they developed several cutting edge sun defense products such as their all-natural whole food antioxidant-rich energy bars, along with zinc oxide vitamin D enhanced sunscreens, and high SPF sun shirts made with fibers from recycled plastic water bottles.

Waxhead co-founder Kari Kenner explains, “Making life in the sun better and thus encouraging people to play outdoors more often is our number one goal. We’re honored to be recognized and included on the EWG list of recommended sunscreens. And we’re inspired to continue to create healthy and innovative tools for our customers to thrive in the sun.”
