The harmful effects of sun exposure on the skin and the sun's link to skin cancer has been well documented. As a result, people are seeking sunscreens that provide maximum protection from the damaging effects of the sun's UVA and UVB rays. However, many chemical sunscreens on the market today contain ingredients that irritate the skin or are absorbed into the inside of the body, having potentially negative effects.

Physical barrier sunscreens, such as Titanium Dioxide, are superior to other types of sunscreens in two ways: first, they block both types of damaging sun rays (UVA and UVB) equally, and second, they are not absorbed though the skin into the body. As a result, they do not cause irritant reactions or internal changes to the body as chemical sunscreens often do.

The NuVANTE sunscreen, Protect, contains Titanium Dioxide along with Vitamins A, C, and E; White and Green Tea; and Pomegranate Extract to create a unique anti-oxidant combination that boosts the protective effect of this product. Protect also contains soothing agents, such as Chamomile and Echinacea that calm the skin after sun exposure.

As we all know, it is essential to protect yourself from the sun's harmful UV rays with a good bottle of sunscreen.  But does your sunscreen make the cut? Chances are it doesn’t.  As a matter of fact, it has been proven through clinical research that most chemical-based sunscreens do more harm than good.  When exposed to the sun's heat and UV rays certain chemicals commonly found in sunscreens go through a chemical reaction and transform into carcinogens.

As a result, people are seeking sunscreens that provide maximum protection from the damaging effects of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays without the use of harmful chemicals.
