Doctor T’s Supergoop!, an industry leader in UV protection, is the newest Trusted Partner to join the Healthy Child family!

Through their commitment to protect families everywhere from both harmful skincare ingredients and the UVA/UVB rays of the sun, it is the mission of Doctor T’s Supergoop! to educate and help families safely incorporate daily sun protection into their lives.

"We are very impressed with the work of Healthy Child Healthy World and all that they do to inspire families to protect themselves from environmental toxins," said Holly Thaggard, President and CEO of Doctor T’s Supergoop!. "Through this partnership we hope to spread awareness about effective and safe UV ingredients, the new European regulations, and the importance of daily UV protection to an even wider audience."

Thaggard will contribute to Healthy Child’s programmatic efforts by sharing expert advice and tips on how to safely protect the entire family. “Most parents realize the importance of sun protection, but few know that most conventional products use hazardous chemicals in their formulations” said Christopher Gavigan, CEO and Executive Director of Healthy Child Healthy World. “Doctor T’s Supergoop provides excellent sun protection and skin care, but without any of the harmful additives. Parents don’t have to worry about what they’re putting on their children’s skin. “

With the belief that UV protection is the critical first step in any daily skincare regimen, Doctor T’s Supergoop! takes very seriously their commitment to formulating without harmful ingredients. All active and inactive ingredients are toxin-free, including possible carcinogens such as oxybenzone, and endocrine disruptors and irritants such as parabens, propylene glycol, fragrances and neurotoxins still used in many of the nation’s leading sunscreens. By choosing natural preservative systems, safe UV ingredients, and innovative UV boosters that meet European and Australian standards for High Protection Sunscreens, the line provides an environment and body-friendly, skin compatible choice to Everyday UV protection.

The formulas are quickly absorbed and very water resistant, protecting up to 80 minutes in water. All products are lightweight, non-greasy and contain antioxidant rich ingredients that condition the skin, such as Aloe, and Vitamins A, C & E. In its first year on the market, Doctor T’s Supergoop! received the prestigious Gold Triangle Award for Excellence in Sun Safety backed by the American Academy of Dermatology.
