How to choose the best sunscreen and some sunscreen facts that aren't as popular as sunscreen itself!
We have a rising rate of skin cancer and there's been a major increase in the use of sunscreen as a means of protection against the suns UV rays. I first started noticing all the sunscreen use about 16 years ago when my daughter started school. We had to be sending sunscreen along with her for all the outdoor activities.
I personally never had a concern about sunscreen until these most recent years in my life. When I did, it took me a long time to understand that we are fed a lot of inaccurate and partial information from the sunscreen industry as a whole. Unfortunately, providing the best sunscreen in regards to our health and protection is not their major concern. I am sure you know what I'm going to say next...Most Of These Companies Are All About Profit!
One investigation of nearly 1000 brand name sunscreens found that four out of five do not provide sufficient protection and contain questionable, chemical ingredients. It may come as a surprise to you that some of the nations leading, top name brands are actually the poorest performers.
...And are you ready for some more sunscreen facts? I looked at a couple of the most popular "chemical free" sunscreens that can be found on the shelf in most pharmacies and health food stores. I won't give their names, but here's what I found.
One contained Dimethicone which `chemists` consider as basically non-hazardous and contains a small amount of toxicity. However, contact may cause irritation with the skin and eyes. Dimethicone has also shown to cause tumors and unusual changes in experimental work with animals.
The other sunscreen contained Aluminum Hydroxide which is considered nontoxic and non-irritating to your skin, because `it does not penetrate the epidermis of your skin`. But you wouldn't want to have anyone eating either one of these things! What I mean is some very curious young children put a lot of unusual things in their mouth that they shouldn't.
So why do they have to add these ingredients if it's possible to make sunscreen without the `questionable ingredients`? Well let's go back to the word `Profit`...less cost to manufacture their sunscreen.
There's a relatively new sunscreen on the market that I recently discovered and...guess what...if someone were to eat it, you wouldn't have to worry at all. Just read the ingredients and see for yourself.
It's called Sunumbra. If you're a skin cancer survivor yourself and are concerned about recurrence...or if you just want the best sunscreen to provide the healthiest protection and still maximize the Vitamin D benefits, then I highly recommend you give this one a try. Maximizing your Vitamin D benefits from the sun is something that sunscreen companies usually don't bring up.
Sunumbra is now my top choice.
