This episode is for you if you’re concerned about the toxins in sunscreens. Let’s face it, we put this stuff all over our faces and bodies and as we’ve learned on Functional Moms Podcast, the chemicals get absorbed right into our bloodstream. Not optimal for anyone, but especially for women trying to balance hormones!

Arielle Moody worked in the beauty industry for her whole career supporting brands like Smashbox, Dr. Perricone and Bite Beauty. But when Arielle was pregnant with her first child, she was shocked by how many toxic ingredients were lurking in everyday products. After trying dozens of mineral sunscreens, Arielle was determined to create one that didn’t make her immediately want to wash her face and didn’t leave a white cast on her skin. Thus Mama Sol was born.
