Protect Your Skin This Summer: Sun Safety Tips from Florida’s Leading Compounding Pharmacy

Living in Sarasota means soaking up the sun—whether you’re lounging on Siesta Key Beach, kayaking the mangroves, or teeing off at a local course. At Sarasota Compounding Pharmacy, located at 2075 Siesta Dr, Sarasota, FL 34239, we’re all about keeping you safe while you enjoy Florida’s outdoor playground. As the state’s leading compounding pharmacy and the most trusted by physicians statewide, we’re here to share why sun protection matters, how to choose sunscreens free of cancer-causing chemicals, and why routine skin cancer screenings are a must—plus how our custom solutions can help you prevent trouble before it starts.

The Sun’s Double Edge: Fun and Risk

Sarasota’s sunshine is a gift—until it’s not. Florida leads the nation in skin cancer rates, with over 7,000 new melanoma cases yearly, according to the Florida Department of Health. UV rays don’t care if you’re fishing or strolling the Ringling grounds—they damage skin cells, accelerate aging, and raise cancer risks. But here’s the good news: you can enjoy the outdoors and protect yourself with the right habits and products.

Sunscreen Done Right: Skip the Cancer-Causing Chemicals

Sunscreen is your first line of defense, but not all are created equal. Some mass-market options contain ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate—chemicals linked in studies to hormone disruption and even potential cancer risks. At Sarasota Compounding Pharmacy, we’ve seen physicians across Florida turn to us for safer alternatives. Why? Because we craft custom sunscreens free of harmful additives, tailored to your skin’s needs.

• Why It Matters: Chemical-laden sunscreens absorb into your bloodstream. A 2019 FDA study found oxybenzone levels in users far exceeded safety thresholds after just one day. Our compounded sunscreens use mineral blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—natural, effective, and reef-safe too.
• Our Edge: As Florida’s most trusted compounding pharmacy, we formulate broad-spectrum protection (UVA and UVB) in lightweight, non-greasy creams or lotions. Sensitive skin? We can skip allergens. Want a tint? We’ve got you. Call us at 941-366-0880 to customize yours.

Skin Cancer Screenings: Catch It Early

Routine skin checks are non-negotiable in Sarasota’s sun-soaked climate. Melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer, is highly treatable when caught early—over 99% survival rate at five years, per the American Cancer Society. Yet, too many Floridians skip them. Physicians statewide rely on Sarasota Compounding Pharmacy for patient care, and we urge you: to see a dermatologist yearly. Look for:

• New or changing moles (asymmetry, irregular borders, multiple colors)
• Spots that itch, bleed, or won’t heal
• Anything suspicious—trust your gut!

Between visits, self-check monthly—grab a mirror and scan head to toe. Early detection saves lives.

Prevention Is Power: Beyond Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a start, but prevention goes deeper. Here’s how to shield your skin, with a boost from Florida’s leading compounding experts:

Cover Up: Wear hats, UV-blocking shirts, and sunglasses. Siesta Beach’s white sand reflects UV rays—double whammy!

Time It Right: Avoid peak sun (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Morning walks or sunset paddleboarding cut exposure.

Nourish Your Skin: Antioxidants fight UV damage from within. At Sarasota Compounding Pharmacy, we compound:

oVitamin C & E Serums: Custom strengths to repair and protect skin cells—physicians love these for their patients.

CoQ10 Creams: Reduces oxidative stress; we tweak potency for your needs.

Aloe & Calendula Blends: Soothe sunburns naturally, made fresh at 2075 Siesta Dr.
