Why sunlight is important
Sunlight is vital and promotes well-being, performance and the immune system. It helps to reduce stress and is crucial for the formation of vitamin D, which our bodies can produce themselves. However, excessive exposure to the sun 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 out less. A natural sunscreen made from plant oils allows the formation of vitamin D while at the same time offering skin-friendly protection.
Our myrto organic sun protection products offer purely plant-based UV protection and support melanin production, which provides natural skin protection. For intensive sun exposure, it is advisable to combine it with additional mineral UV protection.
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 suffer from the so-called "sun allergy" or polymorphic light dermatitis (PMD). Our Sunshine Day Oil offers gentle UV protection without irritating additives such as fragrances or preservatives. In addition, gradually getting used to the sun, wearing protective clothing and staying in the shade protects 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 protects the skin naturally and prevents wrinkles and pigment spots.
Why not use chemical filters?
Our natural sunscreen oils do not contain any chemical filters that block vitamin D in the body and pollute the environment. Chemical filters such as octinoxate or oxybenzone are associated with harmful effects on health and are considered to have hormonal effects. Our purely plant-based alternatives are free of hormonal and environmentally harmful substances and represent natural, healthy skin care.
Mineral vs. plant-based sunscreen: When is which one suitable?
In natural cosmetics, mineral filters such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are used, which sit on the skin and reflect sunlight. Our plant-based sunscreen made from karanja oil supports the skin barrier and nourishes it at the same time. The purely plant-based protection is particularly suitable for sensitive skin, as it does not leave a whitening or heavy feeling on the skin.
After Sun Care for Stressed Skin
After a day in the sun, the skin needs special care. The Magnolia Calming Serum cools and supplies the skin with hyaluronic acid and valuable extracts. The Wild Berries body oil nourishes the skin and supports a healthy, long-lasting tan.
