  1. 4 Good Reasons to Use a Natural Form of Sunscreen

  2. As awareness of harmful chemicals in skincare products grows, so does the demand for natural products. Natural skin care products are more popular than ever, and consumers are especially on the hunt for natural sunscreens. One of the major reasons for seeking natural sun protectant is that it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals. It also preserves the skin, reduces the effects of sun damage and helps fight against skin disease and conditions, such as skin cancer. However, the benefits don’t stop there, and they only add to the reasons why you should use natural sunscreen.

  3. Contain Beneficial Minerals

  4. Natural sunscreens contain zinc and titanium, which create a barrier against harmful UV rays. This protects and preserves the skin. Zinc contains anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacteria and healing properties that provide protection for all skin types, even sensitive and acne-prone skin. Titanium blocks UV rays, but fortunately, can’t be absorbed into your skin. On the other hand, chemical agents in traditional sunscreens absorb UV rays then neutralise them on the surface of the skin.

  5. Don’t Contain Harmful Ingredients

  6. Traditional sunscreens often contain harmful chemicals that can harm the skin and the body. For example, neutralising agents in sunscreen can become carcinogenic and lead to various forms of cancer. These neutralising agents can also negatively affect the endocrine system and alter estrogen, testosterone and other hormone levels. This can cause glandular issues, specifically issues with the thyroid gland. Some of the most notable harmful chemicals in sunscreen include:

  7. Parabens: Preservatives that can cause skin irritations, allergies and breast cancer • Oxybenzone or Benzophenone-3 : Can cause eczema-like skin allergies and alters hormone levels • RetinylPalmitate (Vitamin A Palmitate): Can lead to cancer • Homosalate (HMS): Can disrupt hormones • Octinoxate (Octyl-methoyl-cinnamates (OMC): Can cause premature aging, disrupts hormones and rarely, allergic skin reactions • Octocrylene: Toxic ingredient that can damage cells and cause cell mutations

  8. Doesn’t Require Reapplication

  9. It’s commonly known that sunscreen needs to be reapplied several times in just a few hours. This is because the chemical ingredients are absorbed through the skin and become dormant after some time. On the other hand, natural sunscreens don’t require reapplication because they sit on top of the skin and are never absorbed.

  10. Causes Less Skin Allergies and Irritation

  11. Natural sunscreens are less allergenic and cause less skin irritation than chemical sunscreens. Because, they don’t contain toxic ingredients that make irritation and allergies more likely, they also protect, nourish and soothe the skin. On the other hand, chemical sunscreens clog skin pores, which can lead to irritation, rash, oiliness and acne.
