Understanding your sunscreen ingredients.

Choosing the right sunscreen starts with understanding its ingredients. Natural, Physical SPF & mineral-based options, like zinc oxide are your safest bet.

These natural minerals sit on top of the skin, reflecting harmful UV rays without being absorbed into your body. Unlike chemical sunscreens, which can contain harsh ingredients, these sunscreens are gentle, effective & ideal for sensitive skin. Visit us in store to explore our range of clean, non-toxic sunscreens!

Bananas are not only delicious but also packed with numerous health benefits.

They are rich in essential vitamins & minerals, particularly vitamin C, vitamin B6, & potassium, all of which contribute to overall health. Additionally, bananas support digestive health due to their high dietary fibre content, which aids digestion & helps prevent constipation.

These fruits provide a quick & sustained energy boost thanks to their natural sugars, including glucose, fructose & sucrose, making them an excellent snack before or after exercise. Bananas also promote heart health - the potassium they contain helps regulate blood pressure & may reduce the risk of stroke & cardiovascular disease.

Bananas may also help enhance your mood due to their tryptophan content, which the body converts into serotonin, known as the "feel-good" hormone. They are low in calories & high in fibre, helping you feel full longer, making them a satisfying & healthy snack option.

Incorporating bananas into your diet can be a simple & tasty way to boost your overall well-being! 🍌✨
