Solar Protection Formula was specifically designed for individuals concerned with blocking the complete light spectrum. Each formulation offers unparalleled protection for the medically photosensitive individual, and those concerned about the damaging effects of the sun.
No other sunscreen compares to Solar Protection Formula’s protective capability. It is an everyday necessity and not just a summer beach product.
To enhance Solar Protection Formula’s protective capabilities, multiple antioxidants and trace elements have been selected. In these unique products, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, or Maritime Pine extract may be found to counteract free-radical damage and increase protection against UV and acute oxidation damage as well as to strengthen atmospheric skin-shield effectiveness.
Active Ingredients
Composed of a multitude of ingredients to protect against the sun and its harmful effects, Solar Protection Formulas utilize multiple sizes of highly reflective micronized particles of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and iron oide. These particles, when combined with our unique trace elements form a barrier against the entire UV spectrum, specifically UVB and UVA.
UVA radiation, (unlike UVB) is consistently the same all day, all month, and all year long. UVA rays present the same damaging effects to the skin in mid-December at 9AM, as in mid-July at 3PM. Deeply penetrating UVA radiation enters deeper into the skin than UVB, and is significantly more damaging. This is specifically why daily, year round complete sun protection is essential.
SPF, Just Not Enough.
 The SPF rating system does not address a sunscreens protective capabilities from harmful UVA radiation. SPF is only a determination of protection from one specific wavelength of Ultraviolet radiation, the UVB (290 nm – 320 nm). UVB creates a red, painful irritation first experienced during early sun exposure, but UVB is not the only ultraviolet wavelength damaging to the skin. UVA (320 nm-400 nm) is the deeper penetrating wavelength more often associated with skin changes of wrinkling, pigmentation, and long term damage. UVB and UVA radiation are both recognized as causing skin cancer.
