Michaela Can

In this week's Michaela Can she tries her hand at becoming a lifeguard. This job may seem like fun in the sun, but as Michaela learns, it sure is hard work!

Raw Elements

Brian Guadagno is a Senior Lifeguard Captain at Narragansett Town Beach and President/Founder of RAW ELEMENTS USA sunscreen.

"RAW ELEMENTS USA all natural sunscreen was developed because Skin Cancer is an epidemic. I have spent 17 years as an Ocean Rescue Lifeguard and during this time I have come to realize the damaging effects of environmental exposure and chemical sunscreens. This really came to a head one day around my 30th birthday when I decided to have a UV photo damage scan done one my face. The image that appeared on the screen absolutely horrified me. I began to do extensive research on sunscreens and was astounded at what I learned about skin cancer, false label claims, chemical effects and so on," said Guadagno. "This discovery turned into a passion and I decided it was my time to make a difference."

RAW ELEMENTS is gentle enough for use in infant care yet meets all the performance demands of the most extreme athletes. It's eco-safe and reef-safe in all natural formula.
