Some experts say that 56% of chemicals put on your skin will enter your bloodstream. That is important to know when deciding what to put on your baby's skin. Also keep in mind that a sunscreen with a high SPF does not necessarily mean that you are being protected from damaging UVA rays. SPF is only a measure of how well a sunscreen blocks UVB rays. Our sunscreen is made with all natural Zinc Oxide and moisturizing organic oils and butters that block both UVA and UVB rays.
Zinc Oxide is considered a sunblock and filters UVA and UVB rays. Many healthcare practitioners believe that a Sun Protection Factor of 15 (SPF 15) is all that is needed for overall protection from the sun. A SPF 15 blocks 93.3% of the sun’s UVB rays, while an SPF 30 blocks 96.7 %. Therefore, our SPF 20 provides a level of maximal screening of the sun’s rays, and SPF values above this point give less and less added protection.
For full protection, apply an ample white coat to all exposed skin and rub in to reduce whitening effect. For maintained protection, sunscreen reapplication is recommended every 40 minutes or after swimming, sweating, and/or towel drying as needed. Contact your doctor before using skin care products on children under 6 months of age.
