POSITIVE IMPACT The amount of wrinkles that develop, and how prominent they are, are largely dependent on a person’s lifetime sun exposure. https://www.webmd.com/beauty/features/its-not-your-mothers-skin-or-is-it Tests performed on the side effects of octinoxate show that it may have a negative impact on the endocrine system. https://thedermreview.com/octinoxate/ The most common sunscreens on the market contain chemical filters. These products typically include a combination of some or all of the following active ingredients: oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and octinoxate. Mineral sunscreens use Zinc Oxide and/or Titanium Dioxide. Researchers found that four common chemicals in sunscreens–paraben, cinnamate, benzophenone and camphor derivatives–can stimulate dormant viral infections in zooxanthellae, the algae that helps give coral its spectacular color. These chemicals can cause viruses to replicate within the algae, spreading infection to nearby coral communities. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2291012/ Many suncare products contain chemical sunscreens, which have been found to penetrate to the bloodstream and remain at levels higher than deemed safe by the FDA. Previous research has shown that some ingredients can disrupt hormones and may lead to fertility problems, poor birth outcomes for babies, and perhaps cancer. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/news-events-human-drugs/spotlight-cder-science-new-fda-study-shines-light-sunscreen-absorption Ultraviolet (UV) light and exposure to sunlight is responsible for up to 90% of visible changes to your skin. High-energy visible (HEV) light known as blue light and environmental factors are responsible for the other 10% of skin changes. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/23105-premature-aging INGREDIENTS Active Ingredients: Zinc Oxide 6.8%, Titanium Dioxide 2.88% (non-nano) Inactive Ingredients: Water, Isoamyl Laurate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Glycerin, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Arachidyl Alcohol, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Cetearyl Olivate, Lactobacillus Ferment, Sorbitan Olivate, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Fructose, Linum Usitatissimum (Flaxseed) Seed Oil*, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Seed Oil*, Rubus Chamaemorus (Cloudberry) Seed Oil*, Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha) Root Extract, Sambucus Nigra (Elderberry) Seed Oil*, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea (Lingonberry) Seed Oil*, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Extract, Betula Alba (Birch Sap Juice) Bark Extract, Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Flower Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Hydroxy Acetophenone, Biosaccharide Gum-4, Stearic Acid, Bisabolol, Arachidyl Glucoside, Behenyl Alcohol, Poly Hydroxystearic Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, 1,2-Hexanediol, Citric Acid, Alumina, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Potassium Sorbate, Limonene, Linalool, Citral.
