The Beautiful WIFE: Shade Sunscreen

Shade Sunscreen

 THE WIFE™ loves the outdoors, but knows it comes with protecting herself and her family from the damaging effects of the sun. We recently discovered Shade, a lightweight mineral sunscreen using micro fine 12% Zinc Oxide and 8% Titanium Dioxide to provide broad spectrum protection from harmful UVA/UVB rays.

This very water resistant formula has a matte non-greasy application and unlike other chemical sunscreens, Shade is free of synthetic fragrances, oils and parabens. Shade SPF 30+ has been formulated to withstand the harshest conditions yet is still light enough to wear on a daily basis and gentle enough for THE WIFE™ with Kids. Protected yourself, the environment and your bodies all while using Shade, available in tinted and opaque, $28.00, at ShadeSuscreen.com  -Taryn Cox for THE WIFE™
