Kabana Launches Green Screen Organic SPF 20 Sunscreen

Boulder, CO., May 12, 2008 /SOAPWIRE/ -- Kabana Skin Care, manufacturer of Organic and Natural Skin Care products and Sunscreen, releases its first organic sunscreen. It is made from 8 edible-grade organic and natural ingredients. This unique formula includes the safest mineral sunscreen, 25% Zinc Oxide. Green Screen Organic SPF 20 Sunscreen was created in response to customer requests for a higher SPF, non-greasy, consistently creamy natural sunscreen.

Unlike other ‘natural’ skin care manufacturers, Kabana truly is 100% natural. Kabana uses superbly simple formulas with easily understandable ingredients and does not rely upon the green-washing techniques commonly employed by other ‘natural’ manufacturers. For example, many companies that only ‘market natural’ use organic extracts or essential oils at very low percentage levels in petroleum derived bases. Other green-washing techniques include using plant-derived base oils that have been synthetically modified, such as with the capric/caprylic triglycerides that are frequently found in many other formulas marketed as ‘natural.’

MIAMI SHORES, Fla., April 24, 2008 /SOAPWIRE/ -- Cropwatch and the Natural Perfumers Guild have joined to charge The International Fragrance Association with cultural vandalism, claiming the proposed limits to citrus in perfumes will destroy perfumes.

The Natural Perfumers Guild (NPG) and Cropwatch decry the science and proposals of the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) as slanted and overly-restrictive regarding the amounts of furanocoumarins to be permitted in perfume and fragranced products. According to NPG spokesperson Anya McCoy, "We are very disappointed that IFRA have not vigorously defended the use of citrus oil ingredients against pressure from Brussels, specifically the European Union Cosmetics Commission (EUCC)."
