Sunblock fact: Did you know that sunblock is an everyday must, even on rainy or cloudy days? For best protection, re-apply every 2-3 hours to guard your skin against photo-aging.
All our Sunblock are free of:
-
SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) - increases the potential of skin irritation and may disturb internal health
-
SLES (Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate) - a known irritant, and its bioaccumulation is damaging to marine life
-
Propylene Glycols - potential risk of irritation and allergic reaction in high doses
-
TEA (Triethanolamine) - occasionally causes contact allergy and chemical damage to the skin
-
Parabens - when absorbed, metabolized, and excreted, could potentially lead to adverse health effects
- Silicon Derivatives - very chemically inert, and can take as long as hundreds of years for the earth to decompose; incidents of aggravating breakout has been reported from prolong use of products with high silicon derivatives
-
PEG (Polyethylene Glycol) - a by-product of fossil fuel, a mild skin irritant; may pose an issue for those with liver problems as the liver may not be able to process PEG efficiently
-
Mineral Oil - greasy texture that easily weights the skin down; may increase skin’s susceptibility to UV damage; confers no biological activity
-
Petrolatum - derived from petroleum and may prevent penetration of other ingredients into the skin
