I love eco-friendly and organic products and love to share the ones I use with you, so this week’s Friday Find of the Week is Organic Green Screen Sunscreen by Kabana Skin Care. It is my absolute favorite sun block and one that I only recently discovered.
I had the pleasure of meeting Kabana’s owner, Erik Kreider, earlier this year and the first thing that struck me about him was how incredibly passionate and knowledgeable he is about organic skin care, especially sunscreen.
I was getting ready to head to Trinidad and needed a good sun block so I thought of Kabana and decided to give Green Screen a try. I am officially hooked and can’t imagine ever using another sunscreen!
For the first time in my life, I got to enjoy a tropical vacation without burning. I am pretty light skinned and tend to not only burn easily, but also get sun poisoning. When my husband and I booked the trip to Trinidad, I was a little worried that this might be another trip I would have to spend indoors… but instead I got to enjoy the pool, spend a couple days at the beach (I even got to “meet” some leather-back sea turtles on the beach), and actually have fun without worrying about the sun. If only I had found this product before my other vacations and my honeymoon to Jamaica!
What do I love so much about it?
- Most importantly, it WORKS. Enough said.
- Second, it’s organic and I feel good putting it on my skin knowing that it is good for my body instead of filled with harmful chemicals.
- Third, it doesn’t have “that smell” that most sunscreens have.
I have tried almost every organic brand of sunscreen on the market and have found them to either be ineffective or to smell. Being someone who is chemically sensitive, I have a strong reaction to most scents, including products that claim to be unscented. Green Screen works great and I can wear it without having the smell bother me.
Plus with a mission & values like these, what’s not to love?

What is Green Screen Sunscreen?
Per their website, Green Screen ® Organic Sunscreen is a healthy, highly effective and safe sunscreen for children and adults of all ages. It is made with only 6 ingredients and has been tested to the FDA’s new 2011 rules. It leads the industry in simplicity, broad spectrum effectiveness, and certified organic ingredient content.
They have a few green screen products. The one I personally used and love is Green Screen D Organic SPF 35 Original.
Am I an affiliate of theirs?
No, but I probably should be since I seem to tell everyone about their products. There is nothing better than an organic product that actually works, from a brand that I trust and that is insanely passionate about what they do!
Where can you find their products?
You can find them at Whole Foods or online at www.kabanaskincare.com.

He shows how flammable and toxic spray sunscreens can be.
You can also see just how passionate he is about organic skincare.
