Sun Protection Formulations

These products have been researched and developed with the strictest guidelines for Ultra Violet light defense, broad spectrum protection.  Created without harmful parabens, hormone disruptors, dyes, artificial fragrances, chemical fillers and stablilizers.  Remember, to get those high SPF numbers, manufacturers rely on synthetic chemicals.  Keep in mind, no matter what the spf or the ingredients, all sun screen products must be reapplied every 2 hours of sun exposure (1 hour or less when in or near water, on or near snow, ice or concrete surfaces).  This means you apply 20-30 minutes before going out doors in the daytime and then if back in the sun for driving, walking or gardening, for example, you check the time and put more on the exposed skin from head to toe. 

 Remember: its called Skin Cancer, not Face Cancer.

People who are regular users of petroleum-based lip balms are on a continual drying cycle – the more they use, the drier their lips become.  This formula is a healing treatment for chapped, sore or cracked lips.
In a base of macadamia nut oil to which is added the active sunscreen ingredient of edible zinc oxide for UVB protection. Edible zinc oxide provides an SPF 15 and broad spectrum sunscreen.  Lip Drink also contains the anti-oxidants: green tea extract, Vitamin E and C. The flavor is a mixture of lemon and orange oils. It feels more moist on the lips than a traditional lip balm.

Ultra V Screen, SPF 30

Reduces redness, soothes the skin, feels much lighter than other SPF 30 and higher sunscreens!  Protect your skin every day from the damaging effects of the sun and of tanning beds.  Ultra violet light stresses the epidermis cells so that not only do lines and wrinkles form, skin pigment begins to darken in spots and patches called hyper pigmentation and most importantly - the skin's own immune system is weakened by repeat exposure.  

Avoid using sun screen products near the eyes unless they are specifically formulated for such use.  Spf over 10 can sting the eyes!  Avoid getting any below the eye brows and above the cheekbone, wash hands before applying eye products after you've used a sunscreen on the face.  Use Micro TZ for your eye area or check and see if your eye make up offers sunscreen protection, ladies.

Formulation: 
Active Sun Screens are Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate) 7.5%, Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone) 6%, Ethylhexyl Salicylate (Octisalate) 5%, 
Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone)1%, 
Tocopherol, 
Sodium Hyaluronate
Warning:  those on blood thinning medications must not use this formulation with the Salicylates.  Salicylates may possible disrupt natural homones (we are monitoring research at this time to make sure) so only use this lotion when needed for sun exposure.  Use DNA Protect instead.

Also, water, caprylic/capric triglyceride, hydrolyzed corn starch, diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalateC 12-15, alkyl benzoate, gluconolactone, cyclopentasiloxane, cyclomethicone, xanthan gum, carbomer, aminomethyl propanol, sodium benzoate, calcium gluconate, caprylyl glycol, phenoxyethanol, trisodium ethylenediamine disuccinate.
