Sun Shield Sport is a unique 100% all-natural sunblock formula that is water resistant, making it ideal for the active person. It resists run-off from heavy perspiration and swimming, allowing continuous protection. Instead of synthetic chemical ingredients, sun shield sport contains natural zinc oxide in a new patented transparent form called Z-cote. Natural tropical oils, botanical extracts, and anti-oxidant vitamins, are used for this completely natural, hypo-allergenic, non-whitening formula that protects, moisturises and soothes the skin.

Sun Shield is formulated using the latest scientific research findings and information on sun protection: UVB rays are mostly involved with sunburns, while the deeper penetrating UVA rays are involved with premature ageing, wrinkling and even skin cancers. Many chemical sunscreens protect only from UVB rays, and allow penetration of damaging UVA rays. Zinc oxide is the only ingredient that is FDA-recognized as having both UVB and UVA broadest-spectrum protection, as well as having therapeutic benefits. Many healthcare practitioners believe that a Sun Protection Factor of 15 (SPF 15) is basically all that is needed for overall protection from the sun. An SPF 15 blocks 93.3% of the sun’s UVB rays, while an SPF 30 blocks 96.7%. Therefore, the SPF 15 provides a level of maximal screening of the suns rays, and SPF values above this point give less and less added protection.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT: microfine zinc oxide, in a natural base of botanical extracts of echinacea, ginkgo, & gotu kola, oils of coconut, safflower, almond, sesame & macadamia nut, lecithin, xanthan gum, grapefruit seed extract, essential oils of peppermint & lavender and vitamins A, C, & E.
