This all natural sunscreen is made with zinc oxide, so it is considered as a mineral sunscreen. Other regular non mineral sunscreens work by absorbing the sun's harmful rays. My sunscreen will protect you from the sun by sitting on top of skin and physically blocking harmful rays.
Support Skin From the outside in.
Sun exposure itself is not the only factor linked to skin cancer. Many nutritional factors, such as optimal vitamin D levels or even reducing our consumption of harmful omega-6 vegetable oils
Protect the Coral Reefs and other natural water sources.
Recent research has shown how damaging the chemical compounds in most sotre bought sunscreens have been having damaging effects on coral reefs. Researchers estimate that over 5,000 metric tons of sunscreen wash off of swimmers each year. This “swimmer pollution” threatens a large part of the coral life in the ocean and indirectly many other ocean species as well. This is because these compounds may awaken dormant viruses in symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae, which provide food and color to the coral
Avoid Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals
It’s interesting to notice that in the years since sunscreen use began, skin cancer rates have actually risen. In fact, many reports show that most sunscreens actually raise skin cancer risk. This may be due in part to the fact that many sunscreens contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is a known hormone disruptor that is not recommended for use on children. It has been banned in many locations world-wide.
