Natural sunscreen has gained popularity in recent years due to increased awareness of potential health risks linked to chemical sunscreens. Despite the numerous advantages of natural sunscreen, several myths and misconceptions persist. This blog post will debunk some common myths about natural sunscreen.
Myth #1: Natural sunscreen is less effective than chemical sunscreen.
False: Both natural and chemical sunscreens effectively protect against UVA and UVB rays, which cause sunburn, skin cancer, and skin damage. In fact, some research indicates that natural sunscreen may provide superior UVA protection compared to chemical sunscreen. Organic Matters Natural Sunscreen is specifically formulated to offer excellent protection from UVA, UVB, UVC, and Blue light rays.
Myth #2: Natural sunscreen is thick and pasty.
Partly false: While some natural sunscreens have a thicker texture than chemical sunscreens, this isn't the case for Organic Matters Natural Sunscreen. Our formula is lightweight and easy to apply, making it ideal for daily use.
Myth #3: Natural sunscreen leaves a white cast on the skin.
Partly false: Many natural sunscreens do leave a white cast on the skin, especially noticeable on deeper skin tones. However, Organic Matters Natural Sunscreen is designed to eliminate any white cast and blend seamlessly into the skin.
Some natural sunscreens use nano zinc oxide to address this issue. Although it may prevent a white cast, nano zinc oxide can be potentially harmful to the body. Organic Matters uses non-nano zinc oxide, which has larger particles than nano zinc oxide.
Myth #4: Natural sunscreen is not water-resistant.
False: Natural sunscreen is generally considered more water-resistant than chemical sunscreen. The physical barrier formed by natural active ingredients makes it more resistant to water, sweat, and other external moisture.
Organic Matters Natural Sunscreen is certified as water and sweat resistant for 40 minutes, making it ideal for swimming, sweating, and outdoor activities.
Myth #5: Natural sunscreen is expensive.
Partly false: Although chemical sunscreens may be cheaper initially, they come with potential health and environmental risks. Organic Matters Natural Sunscreen is affordable and made with natural ingredients that are safe for both your skin and the environment. Moreover, using a natural sunscreen like Organic Matters Natural Sunscreen can save you money in the long run. For instance, it can be used as a moisturiser, eliminating the need for separate products. It is hydrating and packed with skin-loving vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering anti-aging properties. Since it contains natural ingredients, it is less likely to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, reducing the need for additional skincare products.
Natural sunscreen provides a safe and effective way to shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Organic Matters Natural Sunscreen is the perfect choice for those seeking a safe, effective, and affordable natural sunscreen that is water and sweat resistant, lightweight, and easy to apply, and leaves no white cast on the skin.
