Stay Safe in the Sun and In Your Sunscreen

We all need sunscreen to protect us from the sun's harmful UV rays. But, did you know most sunscreens contain chemicals that absorb into your body? We believe these chemicals should not be on your skin's surface, let alone absorbed by it.

In chemical sunscreens, there are some chemicals that pose potential human health risks including benzophenone, octinoxate, octylmethoxycinnamate (OMC), and oxybenzone. These chemicals can seep into your skin, potentially altering how your body processes the sun's rays and could upset your body's normal hormone balance. That's why we protect you and your family from harmful UV rays with a non-absorbing natural mineral: titanium dioxide.

We use titanium dioxide because it works. It reflects UVA and UVB rays away from your skin, as soon as it's applied. It forms an immediate physical sun block by creating a translucent broad-spectrum barrier on top of your skin. In contrast, chemical sunscreens need time — up to 30 minutes — to absorb into your skin to be effective.

What's more, the chemicals found in most sunscreens are not biodegradable and may have damaging environmental effects in the water. By using natural ingredients instead, we keep both you and the environment safe.
