Why Choose Natural Sunscreens?
These are some logical reasons advocating the usage of natural sunscreens:
1. Safe for Skin and Overall Health
Non-toxic sunscreens in Australia are going viral and are especially beneficial for sensitive skin as they lack harsh chemicals that are known to cause irritation. Their non-acnegenic properties also make them ideal for acne-prone skin while including soothing ingredients like coconut oil helps to hydrate and calm the skin.
Traditional sunscreens typically contain oxybenzone, octinoxate, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate, avobenzone and parabens. These chemical ingredients are all systemically absorbed into the body after only one use, and have been classified as “generally not safe” by both the FDA and the European Commission. Many studies have also raised concerns about the hormone-disrupting effects of three of these ingredients in particular: homosalate, avobenzone and oxybenzone. By choosing a natural, zinc-oxide-based sunscreen, you can protect yourself from the sun without exposure to skin irritation, endocrine disruption, or carcinogenic ingredients.
2. Stable and Effective
Natural sunscreens typically use physical blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which sit on the skin’s surface and reflect harmful UVA and UVB rays. Physical blockers are photostable, meaning they maintain their protective properties under sunlight without degrading, unlike some chemical filters that break down and lose effectiveness over time.
3. Environmentally Friendly
Many chemical sunscreens harm marine ecosystems, especially coral reefs, through ingredients like oxybenzone. Natural sunscreens, often reef-friendly and biodegradable, minimise this environmental impact.
How to Use Natural Sunscreen for Maximum Protection
Applying chemical-free sunscreen the right way helps your skin get all the protection it deserves. Check out this easy guide to keep yourself safe while enjoying the sun:
1. Start with Cleaning Your Skin Properly
First, make sure your skin is clean and dry before you apply sunscreen. This will help the product stick better and spread evenly.
2. Apply a Generous Amount of Chemical-free Sunscreen
Natural sunscreen for the face and body creates a physical barrier on the skin. Apply a nickel-sized amount to your face and at least a shot glass full to your body. Spread it evenly to avoid missing spots.
3. Don’t Forget Key Areas
Just a quick reminder to focus on those spots that can easily be missed, like your ears, neck, the back of your hands, and the tops of your feet. They need attention, too!
4. Make Sure To Reapply Regularly
Even the top organic sunscreen for the face and body requires a little touch-up. Make sure to reapply every couple of hours, especially if you’re swimming, sweating, or drying off with a towel.
5. Apply Before Sun Exposure
For optimal protection, apply sunscreen 15-20 minutes before heading outdoors. This allows the product to settle on your skin.
6. Layer with Makeup or Skincare Thoughtfully
If you’re putting on makeup, let your sunscreen absorb completely before applying other makeup products.
7. Combine with Other Protective Measures
Think of sunscreen as your first line of defence, but it shines when you combine it with other sun-smart habits. To stay protected, grab a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and lightweight clothing.
