DISCONTINUED: Lavender Sunscreen SPF25+ (50ml)
What can i use it for?
Vitamin D is good for us, BUT not excessively. Lavender Sunscreen SPF 25+ is water resistant & can help to prevent sunburns against UVA, UVB and even UVC rays. Our sunscreen does not contain any toxic chemical or photosensitive essential oils. We use Zinc Oxide that is uncoated, non-nano, and not micronised, which is the safest & best mineral used for sunscreen, will not enter into your blood stream. It is generally non-toxic & non-irritating (unless you are allergic to it). Suitable for sensitive skin.
As natural sunscreen has lower SPF than commercial ones, it's not recommended to use for tanning.
No doubt that we do not have equipment to scientifically measure levels of SPF, however, through all of the research done, this product is at least SPF 25, possibly higher.
Who can use it?
It can be used on infant 6 months & up, toddlers & adults.
(Below 6 months, consult doctor.) We're using it on my 4 months son though.
