No SPF factor

It would be easy and inexpensive for us to add an SPF factor to our products, like most companies do. But from a philosophical viewpoint we won’t do it, because of the possible health risks. 

This might seem controversial, considering everything you’ve been told about the importance of protecting your skin from the sun. But we’ve done extensive research into this issue, and here’s what we’ve discovered. The daily use of skincare products containing SPF factors may be dangerous to your health. In fact, there is some evidence they may even be carcinogenic.

SPF are Synthetic

SPF factors are synthetic products, which are absorbed into your skin and then into your bloodstream. The jury is still out on the possible harmful effects of some of these chemicals. 

But because there is a question mark over their long-term safety, we have decided not to take the risk of including them in our skincare products. They don’t fit with our philosophy of guaranteeing every ingredient in our skincare product must be safe enough to eat. 

SAFE SUNSCREENS

The only safe sunscreens are those that are not absorbed into the skin, such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.  But, these are impractical in skin care products as they create a film/barrier on your skin. You should use these if you are out in the sun for long periods. But for the ordinary person to use skincare products containing an SPF factor on a daily basis is nonsense. As well as the negative health effects already mentioned above, the daily use of sunscreen can lead to Vitamin D deficiency.

Recent studies have found up to 60% of Americans are deficient in vitamin D, which is partly due to the explosive increase in sunscreen use.

SKIN CANCER POSSIBLE CAUSE

It’s worth noting that many experts now believe the most deadly form of skin cancer, melanoma, is not caused by excessive exposure to the sun at all. In fact, melanomas commonly appear on parts of the body that never see the sun. The underlying cause of melanomas (like most cancers) is linked to poor nutrition.
