Natural + Newsworthy: Sunscreen Safety, Best Cities for Skin and Unacceptable Levels


Natural and Newsworthy Shareables

Each week the MVO team selects the latest and greatest from across the Internet--Natural + Newsworthy resources worth your time. This week includes sunscreen safety, protecting children during the summer months, best cities for your skin (hint: Bay Area is #2), the emergence of our CEO as a celebrity in the ground-breaking documentary Unacceptable Levels.

Resources Worth a Look

Britta Aragon (@Britta_Aragon) of Cinco Vidas blog: 8 Tips for Sunscreen Safety 

A comprehensive list including wisdom about avoiding vitamin A, best SPFs to look for, the importance of UVA and broad spectrum protection, and much more. 


A great list of the best cities in the US that are most beneficial for your skin--of course we're excited to see the #2. Each city was evaluated based on a number of criteria established by Wu and the team, including number of dermatologists per capita, skin cancer rates, climate, air pollution, tanning beds per capita, and percentage of adults of exercise regularly and smoke. 

Rebecca from No More Dirty Look (@NoDirtyLooks) shares some love for you lips: 5 Clean Lipsticks for Sensitive Skin 

"In addition to being sensitive, I’m super picky about smell/taste/texture, and I like my products to add something nourishing to my skin. These don’t taste all “lipsticky,” they feel nice on, wear well, and have healthy plant oils, antioxidants and many organic ingredients. I also like packaging to be both pretty and functional. " 


"The metabolism can be a tricky thing—some of us were blessed with speedy metabolic rates, while others didn’t get so lucky. But it’s not all doom and gloom for the slow pokes, there are some tried and true natural ways to revv up the metabolism and make it work in your favor."

Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (@SafeCosmetics): Summer Book Club 

"Join the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics Summer Book Club and devour the debut book Little Changes, by Kristi Marsh! We’ll be reading this funny, poignant, and powerful story from June 14th-July 25th. Then, on Thursday July 26th, we will chat, dish, laugh, and connect at our virtual Summer Book Club event where Kristi will share behind-the-scenes stories, inside adventures that led to the creation of Little Changes, and little changes YOU can make that make a BIG difference! The event will be hosted by author and Campaign for Safe Cosmetics co-founder, Stacy Malkan."

Arianna Huffington (@HuffPost): She Was Right 

"Fifty years ago, a marine biologist named Rachel Carson began publishing a series of articles in The New Yorker, sounding the alarm about the dangers of exposure to chemicals and the failure of the chemical industry and government regulators to protect people from those dangers. Later collected in the book Silent Spring, Carson's prescient insights are the subject of an anniversary feature this week by HuffPost's environmental reporter Lynne Peeples. She delivers not only a tribute to Carson but a reminder that her work is more relevant than ever."
