Why Natural Sunscreen is best!.....
These days more and more people are becoming aware that what they put into their bodies (ie foods, drinks and medications ) could be having a detrimental effect on their health and wellbeing, This also rings true for our skin which is our largest body organ. We also need to be aware that whatever we put on is being absorbed into our organs and could possibly be impacting on our health too.
This increased knowledge has seen a growing demand for more natural healthy options in our food , supplements and skin and body products including our sunscreen. With our harsh New Zealand sun the need for regular application of sunscreen on all family members is hugely important.
A natural sunscreen contains active ingredients such as Zinc Oxide. The natural product covers the skins surface creating a barrier which reflects the suns UV rays. A chemical sunscreen however soaks into the skin and then absorbs and neutralizes the suns UV rays meaning the chemicals are also absorbed in.
Natural Sunscreens tend to contain fewer ingredients and what they do contain is less allergenic meaning less cause for irritation. This means that they are an excellent alternative for those with problematic skin conditions. Zinc is known to have a soothing and healing action on the skin and many of the other ingredients such as shea butter and jojoba oil are also nourishing and healing.
