The Hidden Dangers Lurking in Your Summer Essentials
April 1, 2025 | Author: Ancient HealingsWhen the sun’s blazing and the bugs are biting, most people instinctively reach for two things: sunscreen and bug spray.
But what if those everyday products are doing more harm than good?
🚫 The Hidden Dangers Lurking in Your Summer Essentials
Most conventional sunscreens are loaded with chemical filters like oxybenzone, octinoxate, and avobenzone—ingredients that have been linked to hormone disruption, skin irritation, and even coral reef damage. Some of these chemicals can be absorbed into your bloodstream within hours, and studies have shown they can linger in your body for days or even weeks.
Then there’s DEET, the active ingredient in most bug sprays. While it’s known to be effective at repelling insects, DEET has a dark side:
- Linked to neurotoxicity and skin rashes in sensitive individuals
- Can cause eye irritation, dizziness, and even disorientation with repeated exposure
- Not recommended for infants, and even adults are advised to wash it off as soon as possible
So… why are we still covering ourselves—and our kids—in this stuff?
If you’re the kind of person who reads ingredient labels—or just wants to feel good about what goes on your skin—Ancient Health & Healings have crafted something just for you.
🌿 Introducing: The Outdoor Bundle
Made with 100% grass-fed tallow and other whole, skin-loving ingredients, this 2-product combo offers a clean, simple way to protect your skin naturally—without compromising effectiveness.
☀️ TanTallow Sunscreen
A mineral SPF made with real nourishment in mind.
Most mineral sunscreens leave you chalky, greasy, or worse—dry and flaky. Not this one. TanTallow blends non-nano zinc oxide with a deeply nourishing base of grass-fed tallow, cocoa butter, beeswax, and mango butter.
It glides on smoothly, leaves a healthy glow, and smells like nature (not a chemical factory).
Key Benefits:
- SPF 25 & 96% UV protection
- Zero synthetic fragrances or preservatives
- Naturally water-resistant thanks to beeswax
🦟 Bug Off Balm
Bugs hate it. Your skin will love it.
Instead of spraying questionable chemicals on your largest organ (hi, skin), this balm offers a plant-powered alternative.
Infused with Amazonian Andiroba oil, organic olive oil & black seed oil, and our signature tallow base, Bug Off Balm is designed to repel pests while soothing irritated skin.
Why it works:
- DEET-free & kid-safe
- Moisturizing enough for daily use
- Essential oil blend smells fresh—not fake
🏕️ Pocket-Sized Protection
These two powerhouses come in compact, reusable tins that are perfect for travel, hikes, beach days, or even just the backyard. Whether you’re exploring nature or just chilling on your porch, you’ll have nature’s protection—literally—in your pocket.
