Protective Sun Balm Benefits

Protective Sun Balm Benefits

The sun is our main source of vitamin D, which is essential for regeneration and effective functioning of the body and mind. It’s important to remember, though, that vitamin D remains dormant in the body until it is activated by Magnesium.
Check out our own high strength topical magnesium spray for effective activation of vitamin D.
Vitamin D deficiency can cause thinning of bones, or rickets, making them brittle and mis-shapen, and can lead to other conditions such as osteoporosis and osteomalacia, resulting in increased pain, and often seen in children who are vitamin D deficient. Reduced vitamin D can also cause severe asthma in children, cognitive impairments, cancer and risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
So, we need that sun, but in short bursts, with the best protection, without the use of toxins.
Our Protective Sun Balm contains….
Sweet Almond Oil, packed with natural vitamin E, to protect cells from sun damage by reducing DNA damage and chemical and structural changes in the skin that have been caused by the sun’s rays.
Hemp seed oil to help deflect some of the UV rays without affecting the absorption of vitamin D, while deeply nourishing down through the skin layers.
Raspberry seed oil. According to a 2000 study, raspberry seed oil offers a 28-50 SPF protection factor against UVB rays. It’s soothing to reddened or irritated skin and supremely softening.
Carrot seed oil is said to have a SPF of 35-40. Carrot seed oil is famous for its protection from sun damage, and its collagen boosting anti-aging qualities.
Avocado oil has the highest SPF of all the base oils and coats the skin surface with a thin, protective layer that guards it against direct external influences.
Aloe Vera is both protective and healing to the skin, and especially protective from sun damage.
Shea Butter contains vitamins A & E which can help protect from free radicals caused by UV Radiation.
Frankincense, with an SPF of 57, smooths lines and increases the elasticity of the skin.
Natural Raw Manuka Beeswax provides a breathable barrier to protect against sun damage, without clogging pores.
Zinc is anti-inflammatory and offers broad spectrum protection from both UVA rays and UVB rays, reflecting them away from the skin. It’s environmentally friendly and gentle on sensitive skins.
Our Protective Sun Balm is just that, a Sun Balm. It’s not a sun block. We recommend shade, or cover up and wear a hat, for the most effective sun block. You need short bursts of sun, and you can use our Protective Sun Balm each time you go out, to protect down through the layers of the skin, and deal with existing damage, while still letting those precious rays through.
