Why Do We Need Natural Sun Protection

We all know that getting sunburnt is not a good idea and that sunscreen is the way to prevent sunburn..but what are those chemicals in commercial sunscreens? Latest research has begun to discover some serious problems:

Octyl-mthoxycinnamate - produces free radicals known to be toxic to cells.

Titanium dioxide - causes DNA damage due to superoxide radicals, active oxygen radicals and hydroxyl radicals when exposed to light.

Oxybenzone - is rapidly oxidised in the presence of light and inactivates important antioxidant systems in the skin (the skin's natural protection system.

PABA - produces free radicals in the presence of light.

Cinoxate - causes DNA damage.

What type of mineral is used in Reflect?

Zinc oxide is the mineral used in reflect. It has over a 300 year history of safety with no known adverse reactions (which is why it is often used to treat babies). It protects against UVB and most of the UVA spectrum and is the closest thing to a total sunblock on the market today. No other ingredient provides broader protection.
