Sunscreen is so important and this products is just great. EWG's Annual report highlights the best sunscreen and BeautyCounter's Protect made that list Check it out HERE.

Many sunscreens use chemical sun blockers like oxybenzone, which soaks through skin, triggers allergic skin reactions, and may be a hormone disruptor. PROTECT uses non-nano zinc and titanium dioxide, which are effective and safe natural mineral sun blockers.

The Persian New Year is the most celebrated holiday in Iran, its the beginning of a new year and starts the first day of Spring "Nowruz" meaning New Day. Here on the blog The Local Rose, naturalist and activist Shiva Rose highlights the beauty of this holiday and the food. Persian food is my absolute favorite cuisine.

Beauty Must Have...

My new obsession BeautyCounter. Amazing products that are great and good for you. I never really thought about the products I use on my skin and sadly in this country many toxins that would make you cringe are not regulated and are allowed to be used in most of the items in our home. Making conscious choices for my family is very important to me. At first it was all about my household items I used for cleaning, never did I even think about my everyday beauty products. Enter BeautyCounter, their mission to bring quality and safe products you can trust. They had me at Hello......I've joined their team and now can share with you everything that is great (and safe) about their collection. Check out my main page HERE for all your beauty needs and questions. To all my friends out there, expect to be invited to a social gathering to see for yourself why these products are so amazing...To Be Continued...
