Protect your hair from the sun while you protect the environment
Posted Thursday, June 19, 2008
We shouldn't have to remind you that you need sunscreen. (Don’t make us put it on you ourselves, young lady!) But it's very easy to forget to protect your crowning glory: your hair.
This is where an innovative new product by a brilliant new hair-care brand comes in. We instantly fell in love with Tela Beauty Organics' chic look and eco-consciousness—every product in the line gets the approval of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. But it's the fantastic function of their Guardian cream that really hooked us.
Guardian provides SPF 18 protection for both hair and scalp. It's much more necessary than you might think: hair color can fade in the sun, and your scalp—especially your part—is a prime place for melanoma. That's not Guardian's only benefit, though. The lovely-smelling formula enhances your regular styling routine with its frizz-smoothing power.
If you're not fully impressed yet (you're hard to please!), you will be when you take a look at the ingredient list that's not only on the side of the box but also all over the bottle as part of its design. After its active sunscreen ingredients, you'll find a unique collection some of Tela's favorite organics, including white, green and oolong teas, lavender essential oil, mushroom, wolfberry, and lots of other fruit and botanical extracts.
Look for Guardian and the rest of the Tela line at Barney's.
