Summer is here, and The Natural Alternative would like to invite you to shop for your safe and natural summertime essentials! Protect yourself from sunburn and bug bites with chemical free insect repellant sprays, organic long lasting sunscreens, sunburn soothing aloes, itch relief sprays first aid creams, ointments, lip balms, and more!
We carry top selling sunscreens such as Badger, Original Sprout, Derma E, and local All Good from Morro Bay! As not all sunscreens are created equal, the difference is mineral protection vs. chemical protection. New research by Environmental Working Group reveals that chemicals commonly used in sunscreens are endocrine disruptors (upsetting hormonal balance), estrogenic (mimic estrogen), and may interfere with thyroid and hormone processes in the body. EWG warns against using oxybenzone (read your labels!), especially with children, pregnant women, and nursing women.
The Natural Alternative only carries mineral based sunscreens with ingredients such as zinc oxide or titanium oxide which create a physical barrier protecting the skin from the sun. We have sunscreen creams, sprays, and sticks available. There’s an amazing tinted sun protection facial powder from Derma E with SPF 30 for easy brush and go sun protection!
After a day of biking, swimming, kayaking, or hiking you will need to soothe those tired, achy muscles! Check out our new addition of CBD intensive creams, soothing serum and balms, as well as sprays and drops. We carry the popular and effective hemp derived products from Charlotte's Web, hempSMART, Hunter J’s Reserves, Be Rooted Botanicals, and more!

Stop putting chemicals ON your body that end up IN your body! Take the natural route with 20% off your favorite sunscreen from The Natural Alternative.

Stay well and be safe this summer!
