Waxhead Sun Defense: Protection from the Inside Out

Jax Moms Blog is excited to promote local businesses like Waxhead Sun Defense. All opinions are still my own! 

Waxhead Sun DefenseI love the sun. My skin does not. In the summer, I live at the pool and beach. You can’t pay me to run indoors on a treadmill. All my Jax Stroller Strength classes are held outdoors. I am one with nature–too bad my skin can’t say the same! I’m the one that takes forever to put on her sunscreen at the pool. I’m that girl who waits, waits and waits some more before I get in the water because I can’t risk my protection washing off. And you’ll be able to spot me a mile away if I forget to reapply! Each year that I inch closer to forty, I realize I will never have skin like JLo but I can search for the best suncare products to preserve my lily white skin. This week I sampled Waxhead Sun Defense and found so many things I loved!

The Whole Package– Saying different is good rings true for Waxhead. It is not just a line of sunscreen. They believe in sun defense from the inside out. Located in Amelia Island, this small business offers nutritional bars (packed with sun-protecting nutrients to up your body’s natural defenses), hats, neck shields, sun shirts and organic sunscreens. If its sun protection you need, they’ve got it!

Waxhead StandardsHigh Quality-If you have read any of my previous posts, it is obvious I’m into being healthy. I am particular about ingredients and I prefer things to be high quality and organic if possible and so does Waxhead! Sunscreen ingredients have been a mommy hot topic the past few years. Waxhead’s zinc oxide sunscreen only has 6 ingredients. One thing that we can all agree on is these 6 ingredients are safe and effective, win-win! As far zincs go, this one only takes a couple minutes to rub in so you won’t be white as a ghost. They also just released a tinted zinc and zinc is safe for kids, hooray!

Waxhead Bars

Tasty– My favorite Waxhead sample were the functional food bars. Waxhead is into research and believes in protecting yourself from the inside out. Simply put, eat powerful antioxidant and vitamin rich food and reap the sun benefits! These antioxidants and vitamins remove free radicals, the stuff that UV rays have and sunscreen protects against. Get it! Each bar is gluten free, organic, nutrient dense, high in protein (over 10 grams) and yummy. My favorite flavor was the cranberry peanut, delicious! And it was Void’s best snack in the 904 last year!!

We are so lucky this good stuff is made here in Northeast Florida. Though they aren’t in Jacksonville proper yet, you can purchase online or visit any of the retailers in Amelia Island. Nothing feels better than supporting a local high-quality small business like Waxhead because their products help us and the community.
