Whole Foods Market carries the highest percentage of “green”
rated sun products of any retailer, according to a 2014 report from
the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Many of the “green” rated
sunscreens also meet Whole Foods Market’s Premium Body Care
Standards.
“Sunscreen is one of the most important skin care products you
can buy to protect your skin, and we’re happy to offer the largest
selection of ‘green’ rated sunscreen to our shoppers,” said Jody
Villecco, global quality standards coordinator at Whole Foods
Market. “Our goal is to sell the highest quality products we
possibly can, and we are thrilled to be recognized by the
Environmental Working Group as the leader in this area.”
Skin cancer is the most common form of all cancers in the U.S.,
according to the EWG.
The EWG also says an ideal sunscreen blocks the majority of UVA
and UVB rays with active ingredients that last, while containing
only ingredients that have been proven safe for use by both adults
and children.
From Friday, May 23 through Monday, May 26, all sun care will be
30 percent off at all Whole Foods Market locations.
