LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y.,
June 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- The Hain Celestial Group, a leading organic and natural
products company providing consumers with A Healthier Way of Life™
and a leader in personal care products, is proud to announce that
several sunscreens from its portfolio of brands have been named to
the Environmental Working Group (EWG) "Best Beach & Sport
Sunscreens" list.
The EWG Sunscreen Guide helps provide consumers with the
information they need to make safe, educated decisions about their
sunscreen choices. This year, in the ninth annual edition, the
organization found that 80% of the 1,700 products examined offer
inadequate sun protection or use worrisome ingredients. Proving
that not all products are created equal, Hain Celestial sunscreens
land among those found to be safe and effective, providing both UVA
and UVB protection without the use of hazardous chemicals.
Of the sunscreens that were recommended by EWG, six products
from Hain Celestial have been recognized, including offerings from
the Alba Botanica®, JASON® and Earth's Best® brands. All products
received an overall score of two, which signifies a "low hazard"
designation.
All Hain Celestial sunscreens are formulated without oxybenzone,
PABA, nano-technology, Vitamin A, artificial colors, parabens,
sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, petrolatum, artificial colors or
phthalates.
Alba Botanica® personal care products are made with 100%
vegetarian ingredients and never undergo animal testing. EWG
recommended the following:
- Alba Botanica® Very Emollient™ Sunscreen Sport Mineral SPF
45
- Alba Botanica® Very Emollient™ Mineral Sunscreen Kids SPF
30
- Alba Botanica® Very Emollient™ Mineral Sunscreen Fragrance
Free SPF 30
- Alba Botanica® Very Emollient™ Mineral Sunscreen Facial SPF
20
Earth's Best® personal care products are specially formulated to
cater to the needs of babies' delicate skin. EWG recommended
Earth's Best® Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30, a light, non-greasy,
fragrance-free creme that protects vulnerable skin with an
effective, mineral-based sunscreen that acts as a natural UVA/UVB
reflective barrier.
JASON® brand, a trusted name for over 50 years in the natural
category, has a wide range of gentle and effective personal care
products. Its Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30, recommended by the
EWG, is a fragrance-free, physical sunscreen free of oxybenzone and
parabens that is ideal for protecting sensitive skin.
"Being recognized by the Environment Working Group is a true
testament to our commitment to producing safe, yet effective,
personal care products for the entire family," said Julie Marchant-Houle, General Manager, Personal
Care Division of The Hain Celestial Group. "We are very proud to
once again appear on their annual list of recommended
sunscreens."
