Reflect Outdoor Balm SPF 15

A water-free nourishing balm with natural minerals that help reflect damaging ultraviolet radiation. Microfine zinc oxide offers protection from harmful rays whilst organic olive oil keeps the skin supple. Potent antioxidants including natural vitamin E, beta carotene and polygonum extract, protect the skin from premature aging and prevent damage caused by the elements.

This Balm has actually been tested at SPF 29.5, however because it is not TGA listed (which requires a huge amount of additional requirements and limitations) the company can only officially call it SPF 15.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

organic olea europaea (olive) juice extract, zinc oxide, organic butyrospermum parkii (shea) fruit butter, organic unrefined cera alba (beeswax), avena sativa (oat) kernel flour, polygonoum multiflorum root extract, d-alpha tocopherol (natural vitamin e), organic copernicia prunifera (carauba) wax, aroma (essential oils), rsmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract, dunaliella salina algae extract

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zinc oxide has been used as the natural blocking agent as it is the only ingredient synthetic chemical or natural to effectively provide comprehensive protection against UVB and both short and long UVA radiation. Zinc oxide is the closest thing to a total sunblock on the market today. It uniformly covers from 290 to 380 nm, thus protecting against UVB and most of the UVA spectrum. No other sunscreen ingredient provides broader protection. And unlike many chemical sunscreen agents, zinc oxide is never irritating. In fact, it is recognized by the Food and Drug Administration as a Category I skin protectant, meaning that it is safe for compromised or environmentally challenged skin. Zinc oxide has over a 300-year history of safety, with no known adverse reactions (which is why it is often used to treat babies). Now, in its microfine form, it is ideal for use in sunscreens and daily moisturisers.

Many commercial sunscreen products contain ingredients which latest research reveals may cause serious problems…

 

Octyl-methoxycinnamate – produces free radicals (singlet molecular oxygen) known to be toxic to cells (1)

 

 

Titanium dioxide – causes DNA damage (the cells genetic material) due to superoxide radicals, active oxygen radicals and hydroxyl radicals when exposed to light (2) (3) (4)

 

Oxybenzone – is rapidly oxidised in the presence of light and inactivates important antioxidant

systems in the skin (the skin's natural protection system) (5)

 

PABA – produces free radicals in the presence of light (1)

 

Cinoxate – causes DNA damage (sister chromatid exchanges) (6)

 

 

Padimate-O – produces free radicals in presence of light (singlet molecular oxygen) and substantially increase indirect damage (strand breaks in DNA) when in contact with cells (1) (7)

 

Dibenzoylmethane and Parsol 1789 – produces free radicals responsible for direct DNA damage (strand breaks) (8)

 

Methyl sinapate – causes DNA damage (chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges) (9)

 

 

Phenylbenzimidazole sulphonic acid and 2-phenylbenzimidazole – acts as photosensitisers of DNA damage when exposed to sunlight or UV- B radiation (10)
