Why Choose Natural Sunscreen: Natural VS Chemical

15/02/2023

Why you should make the beneficial switch from chemical to natural!

Choosing a natural sunscreen can be beneficial for many reasons. In this blog we will discuss some of the reasons why natural sunscreen is more effective, beneficial and safer than chemical sunscreen.

Health Benefits:

Natural sunscreens use mineral-based ingredients like zinc oxide, which work like a reflective umbrella on the skin, physically blocking out the sun’s UV rays. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, use ingredients like oxybenzone and avobenzone, which are absorbed into the skin and can potentially disrupt hormones. By choosing a natural sunscreen, you can avoid exposing your body to potentially harmful chemicals.

Enviornmental Benefits:

Natural sunscreen isn’t only beneficial for yourself, but the environment too. Chemical sunscreens can be harmful to coral reefs and other marine life. In fact, many coral and marine life areas around the world have banned certain chemical sunscreens to help protect their reefs. Natural sunscreens are far less likely to cause harm to the environment.

Gentler on Skin:

The ingredients in natural sunscreens are less likely to cause skin irritation or allergies than chemical sunscreens. They do not contain fragrances, preservatives or any other potentially irritating ingredients that are more commonly found in chemical sunscreens. This can be especially beneficial for people with sensitive skin, skin conditions and those who are more prone to reactions.

Provides Effective Protection:

Natural sunscreens can provide effective protection against both UVA and UVB rays, just like chemical sunscreens. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 for best protection.

Overall, choosing a natural sunscreen can be a good choice for your health, the environment, and your skin. However, it's important to note that not all natural sunscreens are created equal. Be sure to read the ingredients list and look for a broad-spectrum, high-SPF sunscreen that meets your needs. With all of this in mind, we recommend the Grahams Natural Sunclear Sunscreen!
