Sun Care
Our sunscreens do not contain any of the nasties found in mainstream brands:
Octyl-methoxycinnamate - widely used as a UV absorber. May produce free radicals known to be toxic to cells.
Titanium dioxide - has the greatest covering and tinting power of any white pigment. Can cause DNA damage due to superoxide radicals, active oxygen radicals and hydroxyl radicals when exposed to light.Oxybenzone - derived from Isopropyl Alcohol, a petroleum based chemical. It is rapidly oxidised in the presence of light and inactivates the skin's natural protection system.
PABA - found in vitamin B complex but is usually synthetically derived. Can cause allergic sensitivity and eczema and may produce free radicals in the presence of light.Cinoxate (Cinnamic acid) - may cause allergic skin rashes and DNA damage.
Padimate-O - may produce free radicals in presence of light and substantially increases indirect damage (strand breaks in DNA) when in contact with cells.
Dibenzoylmethane, Parsol 1789 and Methyl Sinapate - can produce free radicals responsible for direct DNA damage.Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid and 2-Phenylbenzimadole - can act as photosensitisers of DNA damage when exposed to sunlight or UVB radiation.
