SPF Max Sunscreen (100ml)

HerbaZone SPF MAX Sunscreen for all skin types (100 ml)

Unprotected exposure to the sun’s harmful rays can damage the skin irreversibly.  Prolonged exposure is responsible for both premature ageing of the skin and many types of skin cancer, and the damage is cumulative over time. Exposure to sunlight during childhood, when the skin is thinner and more sensitive, is especially damaging. Sunrays reaching the earth consist of UVA and UVB rays. UVB radiation is responsible for sunburn, which can range from slight redness to painful burns and blistering, but the effects are usually acute. UVA rays penetrate deeper and reach the dermis where it interacts with collagen fibres, leading to a loss of elasticity and suppleness of the skin. UVA and UVB radiation act together in the formation of skin
cancer, by damaging the skin’s DNA in the cells and by suppressing the skin’s immunity to tumour cells.
For complete protection, a balanced UVA/UVB protection profile is essential, while an adequate Sun Protection Factor is also important.

The Sun Protection Factor provides a reliable indication, of how much sun exposure you can take without risking a burn. The factors work from a base figure of 1 – the time a previously unexposed skin can lie in the sun without developing signs of redness. If you can normally stay in the sun unprotected for 20 minutes, an SPF of 3, for example, will enable you to increase the exposure time to 1 hour (3 x 20 minutes).

Herbazone SPF MAX SUNSCREEN has a Sun Protection Factor of 15, which enables you to stay in the sun 15 times longer without burning !

SPF MAX SUNSCREEN protects against UVB rays which cause acute burning, and UVA rays, which damage the dermis of the skin, resulting in loss of elasticity, premature ageing and even skin cancer.

The sun is unrivalled in its power to evaporate moisture, since it disrupts the production of moisturizing proteins produced in the skin. Even normal to oily skin can be parched by sun exposure. SPF MAX SUNSCREEN contains Evening Primrose Oil, highly concentrated in Gamma Linolenic Acid, to nourish, moisturize and prevent dehydration during sun exposure. Avocado Oil promotes a cooling effect, while anti-oxidants prevent damage to the skin as a result of free radicals which harm skin tissue and collagen.
SPF MAX SUNSCREEN is suitable for all skin types and should be applied frequently, especially after swimming or water exposure.

SPF MAX SUNSCREEN can be used with safety on the tender skin of children and babies.

SPF MAX SUNSCREEN is free from petrochemicals, and is therefore non-greasy and hypoallergenic.
