Is sunscreen causing more harm than good? We are told to wear sunscreen to protect ourselves from the damaging rays of the sun, but why is melanoma on the rise?  One person dies from melanoma every hour of every day.  Could it be something in our sunscreen or missing from our sunscreen?  UVB biased sunscreens particularly in North America prevent sunburn to some degree but offer little or no protection against skin cancer or photo aging.  Does this mean our sun protection is incomplete? With cancer rates up, more needs to be understood about our sun protection.

“It’s been our founding company principle to create sunscreens that are ‘safe’ enough for even a pregnant women to use. What does that mean and what are its implications for the sunscreen industry and consumers?” The executive director Sara Dudley said. It’s a question worth examining as evidence continues to mount against conventional sunscreens that contain filters like oxybenzone and even avobenzone. The Sunscreen Company has expertise in hormonal and reproductive health, photobiology and sunscreen formulations. This combination puts us in a unique position to understand the latest science as it emerges.

The Sunscreen Company has attempted to raise the concerns with regulatory bodies, academic circles and through the network of medical professionals. Although the science is founded on well –  established principles in endocrinology and dermatology, it’s a message that is not always well received. Its implications span multiple medical fields and would require a multiple-disciplinary approach. At the moment, there seems to be a lack of a will and a way to affect the way physicians provide counsel.

Every Morning Sun Whip SPF 25

The most popular formula- a great facial sunscreen with a cashmere matte finish.  Apply it to the face, neck, chest and hands daily! Zinc oxide provides consistent and photo-stable protection against UVB and UVA rays. It’s soothing and calming to the skin, which is why mothers apply zinc oxide to their babies’ bottoms. This 15% zinc oxide and 7.5% encapsulated octinoxate blend applies invisibly and smoothly to the skin.

It provides just the right amount of hydration for many but pairs nicely with our H20 Hydration. It is also perfect for those with combination, oily or acneic skin. This is an essential for both young and mature skin and provides essential daily protection.

H2O Hydration

H20 Hydration provides calming relief from the day’s stress and great anti-aging benefits!

This olive based moisturizer mimics the skin’s own barrier, allowing its active ingredients to penetrate deeply. These active ingredients include:

Tetrapeptides: These peptides reinforce the cellular matrix of the skin, increasing the production of new collagen, hyaluronic and elastin molecules. These important building blocks break down as we age and make the skin lose its ‘pinchable’ or plump quality.

Ectoins: This natural bio-active substance stimulates the skin’s own defense mechanisms against UV and environmental stressors. They encourage the production of essential proteins that help repair cellular damage to the skin.

Resveratrol: This blockbuster anti-oxidant is meant to have the same benefits of drinking 300 glasses of wine a day without the unwanted side effects. It mops up free radicals to prevent further oxidative damage.

H20 Hydration is a great daily moisturizer and anti-aging product. Apply it in the morning before your Sun Whip^TM or during the evening as part of your night time regimen.
