You’d never forget your beach towel or your favorite sunnies, so don’t forget these other protective essentials the next time you hit the pool or beach! These are all the must-haves you need to keep you, your skin, and all other important extremities in great shape no matter how high the UV index.
SPF with Benefits
This is a no brainer at this point right?! The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends choosing a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 to keep out 97 percent of all incoming UVB rays. It also emphasizes choosing a sunscreen fortified with either titanium dioxide or zinc dioxide sun shields to thoroughly protect against harmful sun rays.
At THE pearl we choose only the most innovative, scientifically advanced sunscreens with ingredients that are also as natural, organic, sustainable, and locally sourced as can be.
Plant-based ingredients including Algae and Red Raspberry Seed Oil that help naturally boost efficacy are becoming more popular in the sun protection world. This means buh-bye traditional - and potentially irritating - sunscreen actives. We also weed out products that contain all the stuff you don’t want on your skin or in the environment, like parabens, GMOs, and oxybenzone. Before you hit the beach stop by THE pearl boutique for our extensive selection of SPF options

To ensure that delicate lip tissue is well-protected from the same damaging UV rays that can cause wrinkly lips over time, make sure to invest in a quality SPF lip balm to ward off signs of aging and sunburn. Plus, you’ll enjoy the added moisture and hydration, which is essential after a long day in the sun. Our Coola Mineral Liplux® SPF 30 Organic Tinted Lip contains ingredients like organic Cupuaçu Butter and Mongongo Oil, delivering an ultra-creamy texture that smooths and nourishes lips while keeping them hydrated, so they look healthy, plump, and youthful.

Saltwater, sun damage and naturally exfoliating sand particles can leave your skin grasping for hydration after a long day in the sun. You’ll definitely want to pack a good-quality moisturizer.

Soothe the Burn
There are very few natural ingredients that have the power to soothe quite like aloe vera. Have a tube of trusty aloe vera gel on hand during and after your next trip to the pool to help curb any accidental instances of sunburn. You can apply fresh aloe vera gel straight to your skin to reduce inflammation, redness and pain. It’s a must when you’re dealing with a pesky sunburn!

This amazing oil also naturally contains a unique essential fatty acid that soothes irritation and inflammation whilst super-charging the healing and repair process.
