Bug n'Sun Shield SPF 8 is a unique 100% all-natural combination insect repellent and sunblock formula. Instead of synthetic chemical ingredients, it contains natural zinc oxide in a new patented transparent form called Z-cote. A proprietary blend of natural essential oils provide the added protection against insects. 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 aging, wrinkling and even skin cancers. Many chemical sunscreens protect only from UVB rays, & allow penetration of damaging UVA rays. Zinc oxide is the only ingredient that is FDA-recognized as having both UVB and UVA broad-spectrum protection, as well as having therapeutic benefits.
ACTIVE INGREDIENT: microfine zinc oxide, in a natural base of botanical extracts of echinacea, gingko, & gotu kola, oils of coconut, safflower, almond, sesame & macadamia nut, lecithin, xanthan gum, grapefruitseed extract, essential oils of citronella, clove, peppermint & lavender & vitamins A, C, & E.
