Sun Savvy Solar Shield

CHEMICAL VS PHYSICAL - WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Simply stated, Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing the UV rays into the skin.  Physical sunscreens work by reflecting the UV rays away from the skin.  The damage that chemical sunscreen does to your skin and the environment is just now being understood.

You’ve probably heard a lot lately about the hazards of chemicals contained in traditional sunscreens.  Hawaii has become the first state to ban the sale of sunscreens that contain oxybenzone and octinoxate as they have been linked to reef bleaching and disrupting the marine ecological balance.  Every traditional sunscreen contains these deadly ingredients.  And more…

Do you like that “beachy” coconut smell that traditional sunscreens often have?  We all do, it’s a fragrant day-dream that transports us directly to a tropical beach.  Until we learn what fragrances hide… 

Because fragrances are considered trade secrets, the FDA does not require a listing of their ingredients.  When a company wants to include toxic ingredients in products, they do it by including it in the “fragrances”. Why?  If the informed public knew the fact of the toxins hidden in their products, it would diminish the manufactures competitive advantage.  Thus, they are classified as trade secrets, no monitoring is done, and manufacturers are allowed to include hidden ingredient they choose into the fragrance formula.  Using this legal loophole, toxins like parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, alcohol, oils PAPA and waxes may be included without the consumer’s knowledge.  We don’t think that’s right.

WHY PHYSICAL SUNSCREEN?

Comprised of non-soluble natural mineral elements that do not penetrate the skin, cause irritation or adverse reactions.  Even better, they pose no danger to the marine ecology.

Dermagenics Sun Savvy physical sunscreen contains none of the chemicals that endanger our environment or our health.   Unlike chemical sunscreens which are absorbed into the skin, causing irritation, dryness and clogged pores, physical sunscreen creates an effective physical barrier on the surface of the skin that protects from the sun's harmful rays.
