Protective Day Cream

THE DAY PROTECTIVE CREAM IS OUT.

Care for your skin and your health.

When I say natural, I mean NATURAL



Good Protective Day cream can truly be your best friend. Hydrating yet gentle, soothing yet revitalizing. Ideal for dry, mature skin. This moisturizing day cream allows skin to absorb well, leaving skin super hydrated without looking or feeling greasy. Soothing care that lasts all day. Protects your skin from computers lights, mobile phone lights and office lights which dulls one's skin.

Nourishing Carrageenan and Marigold, Vitamin E, Macademia extracts act as humectants to retain moisture while Shea Butter provides continuous hydration, helping to smooth away fine lines and neutralize free radicals with a powerful antioxidant blend. Hence, combats the visible signs of premature aging.

Just enough Zinc Oxide mineral (not chemical) to offer mild sun protection but able to protect you totally from office light pollutants.


A famous makeup artist told me many people experienced dull skin texture due to long hours in front of the computer, and using too heavy sunblock which can block the pores.

Facts: Many sunscreens with sunblock contain synthetic chemicals which can cause allergic reactions or more serious complications. Physical barrier-type sunscreens such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are assumed to be safer products. However, research now shows that though titanium dioxide sunscreens are safer than products containing chemicals such as benzophenone, they are not something we should be putting on our children's bodies on a regular basis. Titanium dioxide has the ability to cause DNA damage in human cells and there is concern that it may be carcinogenic.
Zinc oxide is a mineral that provides complete UVB/UVA protection, has anti-inflammatory properties, and is considered a safe sunscreen ingredient. Zinc oxide is the only FDA approved sunscreen for use on children under 6 months of age.

Zinc Oxide
Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound that offers UV protection. It is often included in sunscreen to offer a protective barrier against the harmful effects of UV rays. It works by absorbing UV rays into the sunscreen material and preventing the harmful rays from damaging the skin cell's DNA.



Properties
According to Dr. Doris J. Day, clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center, zinc oxide is also mildly antibacterial, has wound healing properties and is non comedogenic, making it an effective sunscreen.
