Beeswax & Avocado Sunscreen
An all natural beeswax based sunscreen.
This sunscreen is made with zinc oxide, so it is considered as a mineral sunscreen. Other regular non mineral sunscreens work by absorbing the sun's harmful rays. This sunscreen will protect you from the sun by sitting on top of skin and physically blocking harmful rays.
Support Skin From the outside in.
Sun exposure itself is not the only factor linked to skin cancer. Many nutritional factors, such as optimal vitamin D levels or even reducing our consumption of harmful omega-6 vegetable oils.
Protect the Coral Reefs and other natural water sources.
Recent research has shown how damaging the chemical compounds in most store bought sunscreens have been having damaging effects on coral reefs. Researchers estimate that over 5,000 metric tons of sunscreen wash off of swimmers each year. This “swimmer pollution” threatens a large part of the coral life in the ocean and indirectly many other ocean species as well. This is because these compounds may awaken dormant viruses in symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae, which provide food and color to the coral.
Avoid Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals
It’s interesting to notice that in the years since sunscreen use began, skin cancer rates have actually risen. In fact, many reports show that most sunscreens actually raise skin cancer risk. This may be due in part to the fact that many sunscreens contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is a known hormone disruptor that is not recommended for use on children. It has been banned in many locations world-wide.
This natural sunscreen is made with 100% safe and natural ingredients for your skin and the earth. Recommended as a daily moisturiser for the face - it's gentle, nourishing, non greasy and sun protecting. Safe for babies, children, whole body, a little goes a long way.

Made in Bellingen NSW by Emily & Ayla from Embody Bee.
Made on a community farm in a renovated neglected community building, Ayla weaves folkloric herb alchemy with Emily’s ancient hive alchemy knowledge to create high vibrational hand-made products.
The highest purpose of these products is to bring the folkloric alchemy of hive and herb medicines back to the people. In ancient times all cultures had access to herbal medicine; most using honey to preserve their medicines.
These products are high quality, and made from locally sourced and organic ingredients. Currently a small percentage of the herbs and honey used in the products are grown on the community land. Embodybee aims to utilise the community Certified Organic farm for ethical large-scale herb and honey production.
