Your Ultimate Guide to a Healthier, Happier Summer (Without the Nasties)
Summer’s here — cue the sunshine, suitcase-packing, and chasing sandy-footed kids along the shoreline. But behind every blissed-out beach day lies a hidden truth: many holiday essentials are loaded with hormone-disrupting chemicals, artificial fragrances, and plastic-heavy packaging.
At The Natural Supermarket, we believe a beautiful summer doesn’t have to come at the cost of your health. That’s why we created the Low-Tox Summer Edit — a curated guide to products that are clean, effective, family-safe, and free from the nasties.
1. Mineral SPF for Real Protection (Without the Hormone Disruptors)
Say goodbye to oxybenzone and hello to reef-safe SPF.
Many mainstream sunscreens include ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate — both are hormone disruptors and harmful to marine life. Instead, switch to mineral SPF with non-nano zinc oxide, which is safe for your skin, your kids, and the ocean.
Low-Tox SPF Picks:
✔️Mineral face & body sunscreens – no ghostly white cast
✔️Kids’ SPF sticks – pocket-friendly for beach bag top-ups
✔️SPF lip balm – yes, lips burn too
2. Bug Balms That Actually Work (and Smell Like Summer)
Smell like a summer garden — not a chemical cloud.
Skip the DEET-heavy repellents. Our natural bug balms harness plant-powered ingredients like citronella, neem, lavender, and eucalyptus to gently and effectively protect the whole family.
Natural Protection Includes:
✔️Solid balm pots – ideal for sensitive skin and toddlers
✔️Essential oil sprays – a must for travel pouches
✔️Soothing anti-bite roll-ons – for the ones that got through
3. Skin SOS: After-Sun Soothers & Hydrating Heroes
Give your skin the recovery it deserves.
Too much sun? Salt-drenched skin? Ditch synthetic after-sun products that dry you out. Opt instead for alcohol-free aloe vera gels and nourishing balms made with calendula, chamomile, and other soothing botanicals.
What to Pack:
✔️Pure aloe vera gel – cooling, calming & chemical-free
✔️Body balms – nurturing for sun-stressed skin
4. Travel Sachets for Energy, Hydration & Glow
Wellness doesn’t have to take a holiday.
From flights to beach walks, your body works hard in the heat. These single-serve wellness sachets keep you energized, glowing, and hydrated — no blender or supplement stash required.
Holiday Wellness Boosters:
✔️Electrolytes – replenish after sun & sweat
✔️MCT Oil – sustained energy & brain clarity
✔️Collagen – post-sun skin repair + nail support
✔️Creatine – for energy + muscle recovery
Perfect for:
✅ Morning smoothies
