Finally, Full Spectrum Protection from
Sunburn
that's Safe
and Non-Toxic!
well-proven risk factor for skin cancer.
The majority of sun damage occurs when you are young, putting children among
the highest risk for sunburn. Summer has just begun and the next few months
are a busy time for families with schedules packed with sporting events,
pool parties, going to the beach, camping, vacations and many other outdoor
activities. While this is a prime time to get your Vitamin D, it is also the
time you are most likely going to risk getting sunburn.
I do not advocate the excessive use of sunscreen, but when there are no
practical solutions to adequate sun protection, the safe, non-toxic form of
sunscreen I recommend below is your best bet to avoid the dangers of
sunburn.
Many of us are guilty of not monitoring our time in the sun. It's easy to
lose track of our "fun in the sun" weekend time -- especially for those of
us who have been cooped up in offices for the majority of the week.
However, the solution to stopping sunburn is not as simple as just slapping
on any form of sunscreen found on store shelves.
Fortunately, I have finally found two truly wonderful sunblocks that are
virtually free of all toxic chemicals, made by the leader in natural
skincare -- Aubrey Organics!
Titania Full Spectrum Sunblock SPF 25 provides UVA and UVB ray protection
with titanium dioxide, a mineral that actually deflects burning rays off
your skin, and PABA ester. Both ingredients are the most natural sunblock
agents allowed in sunscreen products. It's also made with shea butter, white
camellia oil and other emollients to keep skin soft and supple for hours.
Those of you with dry or mature skin will be amazed by this sunblock's
long-lasting hydrating power. Read customer reviews
Green Tea Sunblock for Children SPF 25 is the best natural sun protection
for children of all ages. This exclusive herbal formula provides full
spectrum protection with PABA ester and a natural, sun-reflecting mineral.
Plus it contains antioxidant-rich Matcha green tea to prevent free radical
damage. While not recommended for infants under six months of age - it is
perfect for children and adults with sun-sensitive skin. Read customer

Researchers still recommend using sunscreen as it does protect against basal
cell carcinoma, the most common skin cancer that is usually easy to treat,
and it slows the wrinkling of aging skin. So, when you can't avoid over
exposure to the sun, these sunblocks will give your entire family the most
natural and safe protection from dangerous sunburns.
One study found that the main chemical used in sun lotions to filter out
ultraviolet light may be TOXIC -- and the chemical's toxicity doubled when
exposed to sunlight. Octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC), which is present in 90
percent of sunscreen brands, was found to kill mouse cells even at low doses
in a study by Norwegian scientists. When researchers shone a lamp for two
hours to simulate midday sunshine, even more cells died.
And a study in the April 2004 Journal of Chromatography found that there is
significant penetration of all sunscreen agents they studied into the skin.
So, it's a fair to assume that when you use sunscreen your body is absorbing
synthetic chemicals.
And if you follow the recommendations on the sunscreen's label to apply
generous amounts of the product every few hours, it's likely you will be
absorbing your fair share of potentially toxic chemicals. It takes a stretch
of the imagination to believe that all of these chemicals will not have any
effect on your system.
It's also important to make the distinction between the two kinds of
sunscreen agents: chemical and physical. Chemical sunscreen agents protect
you from the sun by absorbing the ultraviolet (UV) and visible sun rays,
while physical sunscreen agents reflect, scatter, absorb, or block these
rays.
Titanium dioxide, which you will find in both the Titania and Green Tea
Sunblocks, acts as physical barrier that reflect UV rays, and is considered
to be the least problematic in terms of absorption. The only other active
ingredient you'll find in the Aubrey Organic sunscreens is Paba Ester (Padimate
O), which is among the most natural agents you will find in sunscreen
products today.
Vitamin D vs. Sunburn: Ultraviolet -- B Exposure is Key
Ultraviolet B, or UV-B, is known as the "burning ray" because it is the
primary cause of sunburn caused by overexposure to sunlight. However, UV-B
sunlight produces vitamin D on the skin, and stimulates the production of
MSH -- an important hormone in weight loss, energy production, and in giving
you that wonderful tanned appearance.
Children are at high risk to get dangerous sunburns. Shield them from cancer
causing sun damage with Green Tea Sunblock for Children SPF 25 -the best
natural sun protection for children of all ages. This exclusive herbal
formula provides full spectrum protection with PABA Ester and a natural,
sun-reflecting mineral. Try natural Titania Full Spectrum Sunblock SPF 25
for adults too!
