It can be difficult to find a sunblock that won’t cause irritation or breakouts if you have sensitive skin. Luckily, there are now a variety of natural and organic skin care products available that are specifically designed for those with sensitive skin types. Let’s look at why choosing the right sunblock for sensitive skin is so important and how you can go about finding the perfect product for your needs. Why Sun Protection Is Essential For Sensitive Skin Firstly, let’s talk about why it is essential to choose a sunblock specifically formulated for those with sensitive skin. The sun emits UVA and UVB rays that can damage your skin. When these rays penetrate your skin, they can cause premature aging and leave you vulnerable to skin cancer. As such, it is important to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays by using a high-quality sunscreen every day. Unfortunately, many traditional sunscreen products contain harsh chemicals that can irritate delicate facial skin. That’s why it is so important to find a natural and organic sunblock for sensitive skin that will protect without causing any irritation or discomfort. Dr. Hauschka’s sunscreen contains nurturing plants, and nano-sized mineral UV filters. Our mineral UV filters are made of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which are certified natural ingredients and occur naturally in the minerals on Earth. These ingredients are well-tolerated on the skin and are not hormone active.

Non-natural and organic skin care products often contain harsh chemicals such as parabens and sulfates that can cause irritation and allergic reactions in some people. With using natural and organic skin care products, you know exactly what is going onto and into your body, which is especially important if you have sensitive or delicate skin. Another benefit of using natural and organic skincare products is that they generally cause less irritation than non-natural and organic alternatives. This is because many non-natural and organic sunscreens contain alcohol, which can dry out and irritate your skin. Additionally, many non-natural and organic sunscreens also contain artificial fragrances and other chemically derived ingredients that can cause allergic reactions in some people. By using a natural and organic sunscreen, you can ensure that your skin remains healthy and hydrated without worrying about irritating or allergy-inducing chemicals. Broad Spectrum Protection It’s important to note that most sunscreens provide broad spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays. This means that they protect your skin from both short-term damage (such as sunburn) and long-term damage (such as wrinkles). Finally, you may opt for formulas with an SPF rating of 30 or higher as this will provide maximum protection against the sun’s damaging rays. The term SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, which is a measure of how effectively a sunscreen protects against UVB radiation, the primary cause of sunburn. The higher the SPF rating, the more protection it offers. For instance, an SPF 15 sunscreen blocks about 93% of UVB rays, while an SPF 30 sunscreen blocks about 97%. Going higher, an SPF 50 sunscreen blocks about 98%, and an SPF 100 sunscreen blocks about 99% of UVB rays. A sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is ideal for outdoor activities because it provides adequate protection against UVB radiation. However, there is only a slight difference between SPF 30 and 50 in terms of protection against UV rays (97% vs 98%), with higher SPF products, more ingredients are added. These ingredients can cause your sunscreen to be thicker in consistency and may clog your pores. Also, you may like to note that whatever SPF rating you choose, you will need to reapply them after every two hours to ensure the protection lasts. So that is why Dr. Hauschka’s sun creams comes only in two SPF ratings, 10 and 30. Dr. Hauschka’s SPF 10 is more for indoor use while the SPF 30 is a tinted sun cream that is thick enough to protect from the UV rays, it also blends wonderfully with all skin shades, making it radiant and glowy. And if you get sunburned, do apply Dr. Hauschka After Sun to help soothe, cool and moisturise the burnt skin. Why You Should Choose Natural and Organic Skin Care Products Natural and Organic sunblock is a great way to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. It provides a natural and safe alternative for those concerned about potentially harmful chemicals found in traditional sunscreen. Since natural and organic sunblock contains natural ingredients, it is gentle and less likely to irritate your skin or cause allergic reactions. Additionally, natural and organic options tend to include antioxidant-rich ingredients such as green tea extract, aloe vera, coco butter, and shea butter which can help nourish and hydrate your sensitive skin while protecting it from the sun. Natural and Organic sunscreen is also much easier on the environment because it does not contain synthetic fragrances or other chemicals that are potentially toxic to surrounding wildlife and ecosystems. The formulation of Dr. Haushcka’s sun cream takes all these into consideration and developed a sunscreen that uses minerals instead of chemicals to filter out harmful UV rays.
