Smart Girls Who Surf, a woman-owned business based in Orange County, debuts its latest line of healthy skin care products just in time for summer 2009. All Smart Girls products — SPF 30+ sunblock, lotions, hair care, soaps and lip balms — are certified chemical free, paraben free and environmentally friendly. Detailed information is available at www.smartgirlswhosurf.com

“The majority of sun care products on the market today have harmful chemicals that pollute our waters and are dangerous to our health,” said Smart Girls President Jennifer Taylor. “Our sunblocks are completely natural, loaded with antioxidants, chemical free, water resistant and won’t sting your eyes.”
Unlike many sunscreens which are mass-produced overseas and whose effectiveness diminishes rapidly, Smart Girls’ formulas are created with the natural active ingredients Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide to provide broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Used in combination, Zinc and Titanium provide a durable, long-lasting barrier to the sun’s most harmful rays. Zinc Oxide offers the added benefit of acting as an anti-inflammatory for sensitive skin and has shown to be an effective antibacterial for acne.
Taylor, an entrepreneur and mother of two young children, has turned her vision to promote healthy skin care awareness into a forward-thinking brand with a purpose. Distributed through specialty retailers on both coasts and Hawaii, Smart Girls and its sister brand for boys, Surf-Vival, are tested on surfers, not animals, and are safe for kids (and adults) of all ages. Smart Girls Who Surf and Surf-Vival product lines feature:

Broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 30+ Sunblock
After Sun Soothing Lotion
Care for Hair Sun Protector (SPF 7 Leave-in conditioner and detangler)
All natural glycerin Soap for Surfers
SPF 15 Lip Balms
