BOULDER - Goddess Garden, a Boulder-based skin-care company, has entered an agreement to sell its line of organic sunscreen products in Whole Foods stores in Colorado.

Whole Foods will carry both the kid's and adult sunscreen lotions in 3-ounce tubes and a 6-ounce family sizes. The sunscreen provides 30 SPF using zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

The SPF, or sun protection factor, is the amount of ultra-violet radiation required to cause sunburn on skin with the sunscreen on, relative to the amount required without the sunscreen. So, wearing a sunscreen with SPF 30, your skin will not burn until it has been exposed to 30 times the amount of solar energy that would normally cause it to burn.

The company was founded in 2004 by Nova Covington, who wanted to provide safe sun-block products for children. Goddess Garden sunscreen products contain certified organic aloe vera, fair-trade shea butter, organic sweet almond oil, organic jojoba oil, organic cocoa butter, apricot kernel oil and organic French lavender essential oil.

As part of the sunscreen product launch, the company has created an ultraviolet educational program, including color-changing UV sensitive bracelets, portable UV meters for adults and an ultra-violet index hosted on its Web site, www.NaturalSuncare.com.
