We all know that smell...its the scent of summer. It usually
consists of chlorine, fresh cut grass and sunscreen. But there may be things
lurking in your drug store sunscreen that aren’t so nice. Aside from parabens,
which we all know are bad because they are
chemicals that harm your body; there are little teeny tiny particles called
Nano-particles. Nano-particles are one-twentieth the thickness of a human hair.
They are most commonly found in over the counter sunscreen products that contain
zinc oxide. Some researches say that the presence of nano-particles when mixed
with water and UV rays can generate free radicals. Since some skin cancers are
linked to damage done to the skin by free radicals, this is a major cause for
concern. Free radical formation is also the primary cause for aging. Although
research on this topic is still in the early stages, it’s enough for us to
believe that something more should be done to protect our skin from harsh UV
rays.
We have created a sunscreen that is non-nano. This means
that none of the particles in our sunscreen enter the blood stream, unlike a
sunscreen that has nano-particles. The air you breathe when spraying sunscreens
that contain nano-particles becomes unsafe; damaging sensitive lung tissue and
destroying cells. Luckily, our sunscreen allows you to breathe in and out
without the fear of inhaling toxins. So even though it may take a few summers
to detox from the traditional “scent of summer,” the health benefits of using
non-nano sunscreen will prevail.
