On the sunny terraces of the cafes, the swimming pool, the mountain or the beach, we go into organic sun protection mode! Thanks to the natural sunscreen , you can now sunbathe green . The effectiveness of organic sun creams to protect the skin from the sun is no longer to prove. So why deprive ourselves of these organic mineral filters that only want us good?
Between the chemical filters that pollute the oceans, the dubious preservatives and the endocrine disruptors that expose to risks of cancer, it is difficult to choose well its sunscreen in pharmacy to enjoy serenely of the sun.
for conventional sunscreens, the filters are of synthetic origin and derived from petrochemicals such as benzophenone or oxybenzone suspected of being mutagenic and responsible for 50% of allergy to sunscreens.
In organic sunscreen , they are replaced by 100% natural mineral filters , such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which reflect UV and are non-allergenic.
Regarding other ingredients, we often find in traditional sun creams:
preservatives like paraben which is widely suspected of disrupting the hormonal system
silicones to obtain a pleasant texture that slides on the skin
synthetic fragrances potentially allergenic ...
All these substances are banned from an organic sunscreen whose ingredients are of natural origin. A natural tinted sunscreen will also have the advantage of containing many moisturizing, nourishing and antioxidant active ingredients that take care of the skin, such as vegetable oils and aloe vera for example.
It is also advisable to choose your organic sunscreen according to your activity and the conditions of exposure : if you live in the city and you expose yourself little during the day, a light protection SPF15 will be sufficient. If you have planned to bathe, it will be imperative for you to have a sunscreen bio resistant to water .
