Natural UV protection with organic plant-based sun care oils – gently protects your skin, promotes vitamin D production, and avoids harmful additives. Ideal for sensitive skin and sun allergy sufferers.
Why sunlight is important
Sunlight is vital and promotes well-being, performance, and the immune system. It helps reduce stress and is crucial for the production of vitamin D, which our bodies can produce. However, excessive sun exposure can lead to sunburn and increase the risk of skin cancer. Therefore, effective sun protection is essential.
The importance of vitamin D and how our organic sun care helps
Vitamin D not only contributes to a healthy immune system but also protects against various health problems such as diabetes and osteoporosis. Even the skin benefits: it stays firm and dries less. A natural sunscreen made from plant oils allows the production of vitamin D while simultaneously providing skin-friendly protection.
Our myrto organic sunscreen products offer purely plant-based UV protection and support melanin production, providing natural skin protection. For intense sun exposure, it's recommended to combine them with an additional mineral UV protection product.
Optimal organic sun care for different UV intensities
- UV index 1-2 (low): No additional sun care necessary.
- UV index 3-5 (medium): A plant-based UV protection such as our Sunshine Day Oil is ideal.
- UV index 6-10 (high to very high): A mineral SPF 30+ should also be used here.
- UV index 11+ (extreme): Avoid direct sun exposure.
Our recommendation for sun allergy and sensitive skin
Around 20% of the population suffers from what is known as "sun allergy," or polymorphic light dermatitis (PMD). Our Sunshine Day Oil offers gentle UV protection without irritating additives such as fragrances or preservatives. Furthermore, gradual acclimation to the sun, protective clothing, and staying in the shade protect against PMD symptoms.
Natural protection against UVA and UVB radiation
UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and cause it to age faster, while UVB rays are responsible for sunburn. The combination of karanja oil and antioxidant plant extracts such as astaxanthin and sea buckthorn in our products naturally protects the skin and prevents wrinkles and dark spots.
Why avoid chemical filters?
Our natural sunscreen oils do not contain chemical filters that block vitamin D in the body and pollute the environment. Chemical filters such as octinoxate or oxybenzone are associated with harmful health effects and are considered to be hormone disruptors. Our purely plant-based alternatives are free of hormone- and environmentally harmful substances, representing natural, healthy skin care.
Mineral vs. plant-based sunscreen: When is which one suitable?
Natural cosmetics use mineral filters such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which sit on the skin and reflect sunlight. Our plant-based sunscreen made from karanja oil supports the skin's barrier while simultaneously nourishing it. This purely plant-based protection is particularly suitable for sensitive skin, as it doesn't leave a white cast or a heavy feeling.
After sun care for stressed skin
After a day in the sun, your skin needs special care. The Magnolia Calming Serum cools and nourishes the skin with hyaluronic acid and valuable extracts. The Wild Berries Body Oil nourishes the skin and supports a healthy, long-lasting tan.
