Sun Protection SPF
all you need to know !
Sun protection
There is significant evidence that chemicals in everyday sun cream (spf)
could be causing skin cancer.
10 years ago we were the first to talk about parbens in breast cancer
We were dismissed as scaremongers’ they would not make products with them’
Was what was said........O yes they did and still do
Many people are aware of them now and thus avoid them, they say over 30% of people have cut down on using products with parabens and breast cancer rates are dropping by nearly 30% says the major papers last week
In the last few years we have talked about spf sunscreens and skin cancer
and many find it hard to believe.... the very thing said to protect us can be causing it
Well recently these two articles have come to our... attention
‘Medical organizations such as the American Cancer Society recommend the use of sunscreen because it prevents the squamous cell carcinoma and the basal cell carcinoma.[2] However, the use of sunscreens is controversial for various reasons. Many do not block UVA radiation, which does not cause sunburn but can increase the rate of melanoma, another kind of skin cancer, so people using sunscreens may be getting too much UVA without realizing it. Additionally, sunscreens block UVB, and if used consistently this can cause a deficiency of vitamin DWikipedia reporting what being said
and this below is about the main ingredient used in 99.9% of sunscreens for SPF factor 'Titanium dioxide'
Including most natural and organic brands
titanium dioxide has recently been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as an IARC Group 2B carcinogen ''possibly carcinogen to humans''... This evidence showed that high concentrations of pigment-grade (powdered) and ultrafine titanium dioxide dust caused respiratory tract cancer in rats exposed by inhalation and intratracheal instillation*.
We don’t use any of them instead prefer natural vital oils to be the best defence Why because they work and because they like all other plant and vegetable ingredients are good for you. In fact the journal of investigative dermatology in 2003 said you should use antioxidants as SPF sun creams don’t stop the free radical damage ...i.e. skin cancer.
Our products are all natural thus all antioxidants i.e. all plant extracts...
.
As you can see reflective partials in SPF are now said to be harmful in themselves and 99% of the time sit in chemicals which are linked with cancer,
Because of that we will not use them
So we can’t offer you an official SPF in our products but we provide a sun defence in the form of vital oils and if you take the time to read our testimonial page
you will see just how effective they are.
Natural Vital oils are also available to buy on the web site page in the 'body products page' and how we recommend and use them ourselves as our sun bathing oil
you get the most amazing tans without the damage of the chemicals

example of e mails
Just emailing to say you crossed my mind earlier in the week as there was an interesting article in one of the papers with regard to the sun, I think basically what they are saying is there is too much scare mongering going on with regard to skin cancer, and how we must be more positive about the health benefits of the sun.

Talking of which I have had an awful breakout of psoriasis on my hands so thank god for the therapeutics, talking of which can you tell me is it okay to use the therapeutics body wash on your face - I assume it is, - anyway lucky girl me I am off for the second time to Turkey on Friday for another weeks holiday, it’s come just in time as the sun certainly helps the psoriasis - but more importantly I will be armed with my almond oil (nice to see my testimonial on the website) oh and by the way one of my sons who is blonde and blue eyed has just returned from a week in Spain, I made him take the almond oil and guess what no burn no peel, my eldest son is currently in Majorca, due back tomorrow, he rang me during the week, I also sent him off with your almond oil and hey guess what no burn.
Brilliant product

Just wanted to let you know, I have tried and tested your sweet almond oil this weekend. My second little boy has very fair skin and I layered on the sweet almond oil (very warily though). We have had amazing weather this weekend and it certainly was going to be tested. Result?? It is the first time his skin has not burnt!! He is a lovely shade of light brown and I am so happy to say that although I was a bit sceptical about it at the time, I am overwhelmed at how well it protected his skin…. Well done on such an amazing product...xx
