The sun is showing itself again, wonderful! But how do you protect yourself and your family in a safe and conscious way? In this blog, you will discover why a natural sunscreen with non-nano zinc oxide is the best choice for healthy skin and a sustainable life.
Sunbathing with care
Summer used to mean: sunbathing for hours without thinking about the consequences. Now you know better. You choose a balanced sun exposure, shade during peak hours, protective clothing and, if necessary, a safe sunscreen. A conscious choice, for yourself and for your children.
Ingredients to avoid
Many common sunscreens contain chemical UV filters and other substances that can be harmful to your health. Pay particular attention to the following ingredients:
- Oxybenzone, avobenzone, homosalate, octinoxate, octocrylene, octisalate: associated with endocrine disruptions
- Spray sunscreen: often contains harmful propellants
- Synthetic fragrances: can cause allergies and skin irritation
So what is a good choice?
Choose a mineral sunscreen based on non-nano zinc oxide. This natural filter puts a protective layer on your skin without penetrating your body. In addition, it provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
Tip: Use a cream form instead of a spray and apply it carefully. A slight white haze is normal, but with the right formula, it is barely visible!
Also suitable for children and sensitive skin
A good mineral sunscreen is also perfect for sensitive skin or for children. This way you can go out into the sun with peace of mind – without compromising on your low-tox lifestyle.
