How safe is your sunscreen?
People who use sunscreens should be well aware what they are putting on their skin!
With a 92% increase in skin cancer in Ireland over the last 10years and over 2,500 deaths every year in the UK, the use of the best sun protection is very important.There is a common misconception amongst the general public that sunscreens are a completely safe way to protect them from the sun.
A recent report by Dr Peter Dingle reviewed more than 100 scientific studies and found that there is increasing scientific research from around the world on the skin irritations, allergies, headaches, estrogenic effects and even cell damage and cancer that can be caused by chemicals and synthetic ingredients used in conventional and even some so called 'natural' sunscreens.
When you think about it, so much of what we put onto our skin is absorbed into the body, so it's pretty frightening that the ingredients in conventional sunscreens could end up inside us and do some damage.
Concern about the safety of sunscreens containing chemicals prompted the development of Soleo Organics Sunscreen. Taking over ten years of R&D, the 100 per cent organic product was recently launched into the Irish marketplace after four years of success in Australia and in the USA.
Soleo Organics Sunscreen is one of the most technologically advanced sunscreens around today. The secret lies in the innovative patented SE FormulaTM made only using organic ingredients, absolutely no chemicals, and developed according to scientific and naturopathic principles. We happily disclose all our ingredients on our packaging as we have absolutely nothing to hide.
Soleo Organics Sunscreen uses a revolutionary micronised invisible zinc technology to provide comprehensive sun protection without the use of chemicals and without leaving skin an inconvenient shade of white. Soleo sunscreen is also free of nanoparticles.
"An added benefit is that Soleo Organics Sunscreen is fortified with the goodness of botanical extracts and Vitamin E to replenish and care for skin during and after sun exposure so you are essentially getting two products in one - sunscreen + moisturiser."
While conventional sunscreens are generally not recommended for infants and those with sensitive skin, everyone can use Soleo Organics Sunscreen.Our hypoallergenic very high protection sunscreen is suitable for all ages - from babies to seniors and everyone in between. Soleo Organics Sunscreen contains no chemicals so it's safe for pregnant women, anyone with sensitive skin or people who often experience allergic reactions.
Soleo Organics Sunscreen is great for outdoor sports and activities like gardening. Rigorous testing has shown Soleo Organics Sunscreen to be particularly suited to high performance sportslike surfing and skiing as it provides long lasting very high sun protection and is 3 hours water resistant.
Soleo Organics sunscreen was also recently won three separate awards rating it as #1 in North America from Elle Magazine, Environmental Working Group and Sprig (a division of the Washington Post).
We are really pleased to be offering people a solution to the concerns about chemicals in sunscreens. Soleo Organics Sunscreen is an Australian made product that is perfect for everyone who wants to make a healthy and safe choice.
