Natural No Sun Lotion

A product with an SPF has to be tested as a drug and sold as an OTC.  We are not claiming an spf.  Instead we are going to give you an education on what sunblocks and sunscreens are then you can make an educated choice.

SUNSCREENS are chemicals and are classified as drugs by the FDA because they are "intended to protect the structure and function of the human integument against actinic damage."

SUNBLOCKS are generally physical in nature (ours are physical) and contain inorganic materials such as Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide.  There are chemical sunblocks out there too so make sure you read the labels!  Sunblocks absorb, reflect and scatter up to 99% of both UV and visible light and act as a barrier between your skin and the sun.

So Sunblocks reflect or scatter UV radiation before it reaches your skin and are a physical barrier to the rays.  Sunscreens are chemicals that work by absorbing the energy of UV radiation before it affects your skin.

SUNBLOCK can be applied over old sunblock and it is effective.

SUNSCREEN can not be applied over sunscreen and be effective.  It must be washed off and reapplied.

How much protection will I get from this product?

Well the active ingredient in this is micronized zinc.  Yes, it is micronized..yes, yes .but do you want skin cancer or micronized zinc, or chemicals?  The micronized zinc is how you get the most effective coverage and and no white noses!  This contains 22% percent zinc. The maximum you can use is 25% so multiply 22 x 2 and you get 44.
