Daily dose of Sun? 5 Benefits of Sustainable Mineral Face Sunscreen by KOA
We wear the sun on our skin, so let’s protect it. The sun helps us brighten our mood; through the synthesis of Vitamin D. It radiates energy towards us, nourishes our plants, and provides life. Infuse your skin with sustainable ancient botanical ingredients, and modern science with KOA’s mineral sunscreen.
Here are 5 reasons to apply sun-screen
1.Sun Protection from UV, UVB & UVC rays
Sunlight projects approximately 95% of the sun’s UVA rays, and 5% UVB rays (Vandergriendt, 2019). If your skin is unprotected, you risk long-term effects: premature aging, wrinkles, and skin cancers from UVA rays! Overexposure to UVB rays can lead to sunburns and blistering!
2. Enhance and clear uneven tones
Our skin is the largest organ. If you can keep your skin looking young and beautiful why wouldn’t you? The sun may shine bright, but can increase melanin production. An increase in melanin can produce uneven tones and pigmentation. Uneven tones can vary from dark spots to redness. Nowadays, sunscreens come with natural ingredients. KOA offers a mineral sunscreen with non-nano zine oxides. The sunscreen is 100% reef-safe and has a mineral compound. Non-nano zinc oxide is gentle on the skin. Additionally, KOA ingredients provide excellent broad-spectrum UV protection. Apply your sunscreen, and get even.
3. Prevent sunburns
Are you a red as a tomato after a day at the beach? Do you have to find yourself peeling off your skin after a day at the beach? Sunscreen absorbs the UV rays, and acts as a barrier. KOA’s mineral sunscreen offers broad-spectrum protection, which means it protects you from UVA and UVB rays. KOA’s sunscreen contains bisabolol, which helps to reduce redness and irritation. Control, calm and restore your skin’s complexion. Bisabolol is naturally present in chamomile, and helps soothes skin. It can aid with sensitive skin, acne, rosacea, and psoriasis.
4. Lowers skin cancer risk
Cumulative protection goes a long way! Although the sun is our sunshine source of Vitamin D, we still need to be protected. Sun protection factor (SPF) can block up to 97% of UVB rays (University of Rochester Medical Center Rochester,2022). Applying a barrier between your radiant skin and UV rays helps to prevent skin diseases. KOA offers everyday protection of SPF45 lightweight mineral sunscreen. Avoid the stickiness, and stay protected.
5. Prevents premature aging
Without protection, your can skin loses elasticity, laxity, and appears rougher. Koa’s sunscreen is infused with niacinamide, which is a powerful form of Vitamin B. Tighten your pores, regulate oils, and reduce aging phenotypic plasticity changes with KOA sunscreen.
