Many consumers are unaware of the toxic ingredients found within traditional sunscreens. Active ingredients such as homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene, oxybenzone and a bevy of other difficult-to-pronounce chemicals work by absorbing UV rays and converting their heat, but they are also easily absorbed by the skin. From there, they enter the bloodstream and spread across the body, causing harm along the way by disrupting the endocrine system, affecting hormones, and causing cellular damage. Scented SPF might also contain harsh, skin-irritating fragrances, which is why Colorescience offers natural, unscented, chemical-free sunscreen.
Toxins absorbed by the skin remain in the body for an unknown amount of time, and traces of their presence can be seen in blood, urine, and breast milk samples. Because of this, using all-natural, toxic-free sunscreen is a critical choice for those searching for safe sunblock* for pregnancy and nursing. Parents in need of safe SPF for kids should also steer clear of harsh formulas and instead use Colorescience natural, chemical-free sunscreen. The ingredients found in traditional SPF come off in water and endanger sea life, but our biodegradable mineral sunscreen will decompose naturally—and should be used by anyone who’s eco-conscious. Take advantage of organic sunblock* and say goodbye to those yucky, big-name brands. We’ll even provide you with a Colorescience promo code so you can see what the hype is all about.
Protect your best asset with SPF that nourishes your skin rather than irritating it. We offer a number of healthy foundations that are packed with minerals, antioxidants, and hydrating ingredients to keep your complexion at its best while shielding it from the sun. Many of our chemical-free sunscreens are tinted for light coverage, but you can also shop matte mineral foundation for a richer look. Whether you choose a loose, brush-on foundation or a pressed powder formula, you’ll enjoy being able to effortlessly apply SPF 20 as a part of your beauty routine.
*Sunblock is not a term approved by the FDA. Colorescience refers to our products as sun protection.
