We are very honored at Cleanse Apothecary to partner with the American Cancer Society in their Seminole Heights Relay for Life. I always new I would partner with the ACS after my best friend growing up past away on October 1st 2010 after a long battle with prostate & pancreatic cancer. Jeff and I were inseparable. Like many good friends we shared so many memories and I miss him today. The reality is, we all have been affected by cancer in some way, whether ourselves, family members or close friends.

The event  "SPF 101 Protect your Bum from the Sun" is in conjunction with the launch of Sun Bum Sun Care products at Cleanse Apothecary.  Sun Bum products are recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation and are made, tested and bottles in the beautiful Sunshine State of Florida, (Cocoa Beach) and are not tested on animals. Unfortunately, one in five of us will get skin cancer due to sun exposure. One in five. That’s more than all other cancers combined. The good news is, we can reduce the risk by 80% simply by regularly using approved sun care products. Sun Bum sunscreens are tested, approved, and recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation (SCF). The SCF is internationally recognized as the educational leader to the public and medical communities related to skin cancer prevention. The SCF does not approve or lend its seal of approval to higher risk products that do not meet their stringent standards. 

Please join Cleanse Apothecary & Seminole Heights Relay for Life for an evening of tasty treats, cocktails & Serious Sun Protection by Sun Bum! Sun Bum products are tested, approved & recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation! A portion of the night's proceeds will be donated the Seminole Heights Relay for Life - An American Cancer Society Event.

2nd Annual Fauna Fest at Cleanse Apothecary

Our 2nd Annual Fauna Fest at Cleanse Apothecary has come and gone in flash! We want to thank everyone who attended and helped make this years event more sucessful than last years event. This is our favorite event because it is for The Run for Alexis Saunders, A Benefit for Humane Society of Tampa Bay. Being animal lovers, like many of you, at Cleanse we always knew we would work with the Humane Society in some capicity. This event is more than a benefit for the Humane Society, it is a true celebration of life and the meaning of lasting friendships.


This all came about so naturaly when our friend Anne came to Cleanse for a gift and told me about an upcoming run she was organizing with her friend Merritt, in memory of their good friend. It was called "The Run to Remember Alexis Saunders." Anne told me that Alexis had passed away from an aggressive form of brain cancer and that She, Merritt and Alexis were very close friends and this was their way to keep Alexis's spirit alive through the "Run", while donating the funds raised to the Humane Society in Alexis's Honor.  Alexis, graduated from Vanderbilt University and earned a Masters Degee in Social work and worked at Lifepath Hospice. Before falling ill, Alexis was also an advid runner and a dog lover too. Alexis rescued her dog and devoted companion Chester, from the steets of Tampa, where she found him battered and starving. Alexis was there for Chester, nursing him back to life and he was there for her while she was battling for her own. Alexis passed away on March 7, 2010, at the age of 34.


Immediately I told Anne that we wanted to be part of this event in honor of Alexis, so we coordinated the Fauna Launch Party at Cleanse in 2011 and Fauna Fest in 2012. Fauna pet products are people tested and pet approved. The philosphy is simple, if you wouldn't use it yourself, don't use it on your pet!

Alexis touched many lives and we have met so many people who new her personally, I only wished I had the chance to. We are grateful to be be part of The Run to Remember Alexis Saunders and to be her Honorary friend.
