Are you someone that has been searching long and hard to find a sunscreen for you and your children that doesn’t contain Zinc or Titanium Dioxide nano particles in them? Are you tired of researching websites just to find out if sunscreen is even safe or not , only to find that you are more confused by conflicting studies ? I understand your dilemma because I went through the same thing! So let’s get started!
Let’s use some common sense! Sun Exposure falls under the category of ‘everything in moderation’.
Let’s talk Sunscreens!
Del Mar Organics Sunscreens claim to be the ” healthiest and most eco-conscious sun protection available using only non-nano zinc (a natural mineral that does not absorb into skin) and eight edible-grade organic ingredients – so your skin will not absorb any of the toxic ingredients found in typical sunscreens. They also claim the following, and if it is true, then this would be a great product, one in which I will try myself. (See the rest of the list below) .
Zinc oxide is superior to titanium dioxide and the only active ingredient the company uses , for the following reasons:
See DEL MAR website below.
Sunscreens:
Dr. Henry W. Lim, chairman of the Dermatology Department at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, said “There just isn’t much hard data showing that applying these chemical sunscreens to your skin can lead to health problems… and many of the animal studies regarding sunscreen applications involve injecting or inhaling the chemicals, not rubbing them on your skin. “As of today there are no recorded health issues associated with sunscreen’s proper use,” he says.
How Dr. Lim can make these claims?
The skin is the largest organ in the human body .Yes! The skin (of an average adult) covers over 21 square feet of surface area and accounts for 6% to 10% of your body weight. The point is, if you are using a sunscreen that contains nano particulates of Titanium Dioxide, doesn’t the skin absorb these chemicals, and if so , end up in the liver (which by the way is the SECOND largest organ in the body making up for 2.5% of body weight.
Dr. Lim went on to say that spray-on sunscreens could present some unique dangers, because, unlike lotions spread on the skin, spray-ons can be inhaled. “That could lead to very different types of risks not associated with creams,” but there is no conclusive evidence as of yet.
APPLICATION of products are generally visible on the products container, as well as all of the listed ingredients. Note that most products recommend that you need to spread a minimum of 1 oz. in order to protect your entire body. Remember , most suncreen only last a couple of hours, and if you are perspiring or swimming manufacturers labels suggest that you apply the product even more frequently.
Level of Protection from UVB which is associated with redness & burns.
UVA, known to cause premature aging and skin cancer.
Broad Spectrum means coverage of both UVA and UVB.
SUNSCREEN Product Advertising MYTHS:
NOTE: If your sunscreen was purchased from a drug store, grocery store, or discount chain, there’s a high probability that your sunscreen is on EWG’s “Worst Sunscreens List.” It may surprise you to learn that brands such as Neutrogena, Rite Aid, Walgreens “Well” brand, “Up and Up” brand from Target, and Coppertone were among those that made the most toxic list. Best throw these products away.
What to avoid when purchasing Sunscreen Products:
What Sunscreen ingredients are safe?
Unlike many cancer prevention websites that ask that you apply Sunscreen every single day for sun exposure, a growing community of doctors actually reject this idea based on the Viatmin D factor. Sunscreens actually block your body’s ability to produce Vitamin D. Optimizing your vitamin D levels may reduce your risk of as many as 16 different types of cancer, including pancreatic, lung, ovarian, breast, prostate, and skin cancers.

Very good, I have often wondered about this and in the past have even taken the inclination that no sunscreen is better. Good suggestions. I have also been creating my own products, using only organic ingredients. I don't trust large supermarket chains
Great article and research Roxy. Thanks for the suggested sunscreens. Skin cancer, Melanoma is on the rise. I know this having survived Melanoma that spread into my lymph nodes. Not a nice surgery... Nasty scars and other complications from loosing some lymph nodes. What I find interesting is what my surgeon told me after my surgery. She Stated in essence that Melanoma cases have risen over 300% in the past 10 years due to the increase of UV radiation. UV radiation is at dangerous levels. She further stated it's due to the depletion and damage to the planets Ozone Layer. Pretty scary...
Thanks Jim! Thanks for your statistics as well.........yes indeed the skin cancer cases are on the rise, I did not know that it was 300% though........so thank you for the information! Yes, there are some misconceptions regarding sunscreen products, so I hope the article cleared it up. I have done further research and have found some home made sunscreens as well, and coconut oil seems to be the top of the list for UVA and UNB protection. I will post an article with some homemade applications as well, but before I do , I wanted to be sure they actually work! Thanks again for your input! Glad you survived as well! Bless you Jim!
