I was once called the Wikipedia of sunscreen by a morning news anchor.

I consider myself a total sunscreen geek!

Wait until you see my jaw drop in this conversation with cosmetic chemist and Stream2Sea founder Autumn Blum. She taught me things I had never considered before!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why a scuba diving trip halfway around the world completely changed the way Autumn formulates skincare products
  • The surprising connection between the sunscreen you put on in your backyard and ecosystems hundreds or even thousands of miles away
  • What researchers discovered about certain sunscreen ingredients that sparked bans in destinations around the world
  • Why the word “organic” on a personal care label may not mean what you think it means
  • How sunscreen ingredients can travel through both our bodies and our waterways
  • Why protecting your skin and protecting the environment may not be an either-or choice

This is one of those episodes that will absolutely make you think differently the next time you reach for a bottle of sunscreen.
