[FEATURED GUESTS] About Tricia Trimble Suntegrity Skincare was made in memory of my mom and all of those who lost their lives to skin cancer. Using my mom's experience as a positive catalyst for change, I created a holistic, mineral sun care line to help people avoid skin cancer. After losing her mom to melanoma skin cancer, Tricia became a big advocate of wearing sunscreen. However, most of the sunscreens on the market use chemical UV blockers and contain a lot of toxic ingredients. It didn't make sense to me to use these types of sunscreens to prevent skin cancer only to get another kind of cancer. After several years of research and investigation, she decided to develop her own sun care line. With a heartfelt mission and the help of an extremely knowledgeable formulator and chemist, Suntegrity Skincare was born. Suntegrity Face and Body SPF 30 products use only the best known physical block ingredient (non-nano size zinc oxide) to provide broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and super anti-oxidants and amino acids to enhance that protection and help with skin repair. Our products use non-toxic preservatives to maintain their integrity without sacrificing safety or health. Our company was awarded "Champion" Status by the EWG/Compact for Safe Cosmetics About Anthony Flores, or "T" as Kimberly affectionately refers to him: He is a long-time friend of hers who, after graduating from Stanford University, began researching and writing professionally in the health space full-time.
