Day cream with sun protection











Summer is coming and we all know we have to protect our skin everyday from the harmful rays of the sun. 
There are several natural ingredients that can be incorporated into skin care products.
 Om Cinnamate is a natural suncreen occurring in certain plants, like balsam of Peru and cinnamon leaves. Used with other natural sunscreens like titanium dioxide they will give powerful UVA and UVB protection.  
It's so important to use products with sun protection included.


Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to produce erythema and pigmentation on the skin. When directly exposed to the sun, there is 10 to 100 times more exposure of UVA than UVB. UVB (considered the Burning Ray) has an immediate, harmful impact on the skin within minutes. UVA (considered the Aging Ray), which you do not feel, has been shown to damage the skin by penetrating deeply into the dermis  producing premature aging, wrinkles, and tumors.
Sun screens are inactive ingredients that are able, however, to avoid chemically or physically UV radiations (UVA and UVB) to penetrate the skin layers. They provide therefore effective protection from the skin damaging effects of the sun rays. Chemical sunscreens act by absorbing UV-light. Physical sunscreens reflect or scatter light in both the visible and UV-spectrum. 

"Daylightful" day cream has several different natural sun protection ingredients. Works great as added protection under your SPF face makeup and for normal sun exposure.

This is an all natural vegan product and is not  SPF rated. It is not recommended for sun bathing or extreme sun exposure.
