Pick A Natural Face Sunscreen, Stay Safe, and Enjoy Summer!

After a tumultuous recall from one of the largest companies in the world, Benzene was the one to blame. But how safe are you using these brands?

We all should know that natural ingredients are by far the best way to ensure our safety, as well as to our family.

It should be no different for picking sunscreen for this summer 2021.

After this week, many are paying more attention to what’s inside of a sunscreen bottle other beauty products, after one of the largest companies in the world made a recall for their sunscreen, as traces of benzene were found in their sunscreen.

But…

What makes a Natural Sunscreen, the best option for the summer?

Natural sunscreen is mineral-based and non-toxic, which means you have peace of mind that the product you’re putting on your skin is less harmful than chemical-based ones.

There are other reasons why you would feel more interested in using a natural sunscreen:

• Synthetic Chemicals, such as Oxybenzone has been shown to disrupt hormones in lab-tests, which is also associated with cancer-causing ingredient.

Even though there are still studies running in labs, many brands, like UFlawless – Advanced Medical-Grade Skincare are investing more time and energy to promote natural ingredients, in all their products.

• A less negative impact on the environment is a huge contribution that you can make. Ingredients such as Oxybenzone, Butylparaben, and Octinoxate are the most common ingredients found in sunscreens, which are bad for coral reefs.

Those ingredients are the ones to blame for coral bleaching. No wonder that some places in the US such as Hawaii and the Florida Keys banned products with these harmful ingredients.

How to make sure your sunscreen is 100% safe

To be considered a natural sunscreen, the FDA determined that Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide are two ingredients that are safe for the skin, when present in a sunscreen.

It’s very common to see in sunscreen synthetic ingredients such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, or avobenzone. And this is what makes sunscreen to be categorized as synthetic.

Zinc Oxide is a common ingredient in some baby powder products, and creams, especially used in toddlers.

While Titanium Dioxide is vastly used in makeup primers, foundations, toothpaste.

The Difference Between Natural Sunscreen and Synthetic Sunscreen

There are many differences between Natural Sunscreen and Synthetic Sunscreen. Let’s see what are the main aspects of each other:

• Natural Sunscreens made of Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, are considered physical sunscreens. 

That means that they don’t absorb UV Rays. As they are minerals, they reflect these Rays, like a shield, creating a natural barrier from sun exposure.

In the long run, photodamage (age spots, lines & wrinkles) is less likely to happen, when compared to synthetic sunscreens.

• Natural Sunscreens have a different texture and appearance to the skin. It’s very common to see these sunscreens leaving a ghost finish after applying to the skin.

Synthetic Sunscreens contain a number of chemicals, which enables the skin to absorb these ingredients, without leaving any signs of it.

Is there any Plant Base ingredient that creates a sunscreen effect on the skin?

No, there is not. Contrary to many blog posts out there, there are not any plant-based ingredients that guarantee full protection from UV Rays.

It might be true that coconut oil and some berries seed oil can create a UV filter, but as far as researches and studies went so far, there’s almost any. Max 7 SPF, which is nothing!

What to look for in a Natural Sunscreen?

Here you have the most important things to look for in a natural sunscreen. Meaning, peace of mind, no recall, natural ingredients, and most importantly protection from sunlight exposure.

1. Active ingredients – There are only 2 active ingredients to look for in a natural sunscreen. Zinc Oxide, which will give you UVA & UVB protection. Titanium Dioxide delivers more protection against UVB. Quick lesson UVA stands for protection against Aging effects.
2. Broad Spectrum – Besides UVA & UVB, more recently, studies have shown that HEV Light is as harmful (if not more) than UVA & UVB. HEV Light or Blue Light is a short spectrum of light commonly present in TV Screens, computer screens, mobile phones, tablets. As they reach deep layers of the skin, damage important cells, leading to premature aging signs, such as age spots, lines & wrinkles.
3. SPF – Solar Protection Factor – Minimum is 30 SPF, highest the better. When you read SPF 40 for example, that means that the sunscreen can hold 40x sun exposure without burning the skin.
4. Natural Ingredients – Look for natural “vehicles” to deliver the actives important to your skin. It can go to avoid acne, to anti-aging properties. Creams, ointments are the vehicles that deliver these properties to the skin. Natural ingredients mean fewer chances of irritability, redness, or any other reaction on the skin. 
5. Coral Reef Safe – As the name says, safe for coral reefs. That means that there are no ingredients that beach corals, an important source of nutrients to many marine life species.

Sun is the #1 factor for premature aging, on the other hand, it is essential for our overall health

There are no questions about the benefits of the sun for our overall health, at least it shouldn’t.

The sun is the most important source of Vitamin D for the body. Even if you take supplements, nothing can replace the natural benefits of the sun on our skin.

While we are outside in the sun, Vitamin D is absorbed by the skin, which helps the body to form healthy bones, teeth, muscles, and tissues, as it helps the absorption of phosphate and calcium.

What is essential is to make the time of exposure in a range that is healthy for the body, which is:

• Exposure from sunrise to 10am and from 4pm to sunset. During summertime.
• 10 to 15 minutes of exposure a day. After this period, sunscreen at least 30 SPF is a MUST HAVE.
• If you’re are at the beach, pool, running outdoors, use a hat, UV clothing, and sunscreen
• Drink plenty of water while exposed to the sun.

UVA/UVB & HEV emitted by the sunlight are responsible to trigger free radicals, which is the same as saying that sunspots, saggy skin, fine lines & wrinkles are more likely to happen.

If you’re not following these steps the chances of premature aging signs are much higher.
