Sun Shield Sport is a unique 100% all-natural sunblock formula that is
water resistant, making it ideal for the active person. It resists
run-off from heavy perspiration and swimming, allowing continuous
protection.
Instead of synthetic chemical ingredients, SunShield
Sport contains natural zinc oxide in a patented transparent form called
Z-cote. Natural tropical oils, botanical extracts, and anti-oxidant
vitamins, are used for this completely natural, hypo-allergenic,
non-whitening formula that protects, moisturises and soothes the skin.
Sun
Shield is formulated using the latest scientific research findings and
information on sun protection: UVB rays are mostly involved with
sunburns, while the deeper penetrating UVA rays are involved with
premature aging and wrinkling. Many chemical sunscreens protect only
from UVB rays, and allow penetration of damaging UVA rays. Zinc oxide is
the only ingredient that is FDA-recognized as having both UVB and UVA
broadest-spectrum protection, as well as having therapeutic benefits.
Many
healthcare practitioners believe that a Sun Protection Factor of 15
(SPF 15) is basically all that is needed for overall protection from the
sun. An SPF 15 blocks 93.3% of the sun’s UVB rays, while an SPF 30
blocks 96.7%. Therefore, the SPF 15 provides a level of maximal
screening of the suns rays, and SPF values above this point give less
and less added protection.
However, having said this, there are
times when a higher SPF factor can be useful - for instance, when it is
impossible to keep certain areas of the body away from the sun's rays;
such as the tip of the nose, the back of the neck and sometimes the
shoulders. An SPF 25 lotion can be useful in these circumstances but we
would always recommend that you keep out of the sun completely between
the hours of 11.00 am and 3.00 pm.
