~95% of the sun’s rays to which we’re exposed are UVA rays.
UVA rays reach the deeper layer of our skin, called the dermis, where collagen and elastin fibers reside.
Sagging skin and wrinkles result from damage to our dermis.
American sunscreens are considered very weak in UVA ray protection.
Boosting UVB protection, with minimal UVA protection, promotes far more long-term damage. Since when we don't see a sunburn, we generally spend much time in the sun.
Sunburn could be considered natural's warning sign or alarm clock, alerting us and preventing excess damage to the dermis.
Melanin is pigment produced in the epidermis. It’s our body’s natural sun protection.
Boosting melanin levels gradually—getting a tan—without burning, through time-limited sun exposure, is free and healthy sun protection.
American sunscreens are filled with notorious endocrine disruptors like oxybenzone and others. Your endocrine system regulates your hormones.
An SPF 50 sunscreen reduces vitamin D absorption by approximately 98-99% compared to no sunscreen.
