Andreas Moritz See book keywords and concepts | Among these are antibacterial agents such as Sulfa; the aforementioned PABAs and other sun lotion ingredients; hypoglycemic agents used by diabetics; diuretics for control of high blood pressure; tranquillizers and anti-depressants; broad-spectrum antibiotics; anti-arrhythmic Quinidine used to suppress abnormal heart rhythms; halogenated, antiseptic compounds used in cosmetics; many types of soaps; synthetic ingredients in most commercial beauty products ; and antihistamines used for colds and allergies. | Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron See book keywords and concepts | Glow With It After sun lotion ($32 for 8 ounces) contains several fragrant, volatile oils that are irritating to skin and problematic when applied to skin that may be exposed to sunlight. Whether pre- or after-sun, this product is not recommended.
© Liquid Sunshine Tan Enhancer SPF 15 ($28 for 6.3 ounces) features an in-part zinc oxide sunscreen but has troublesome claims (such as increasing the duration of yout tan) while assaulting skin with irritants including bergamot, lime, lavender, cedarwood, and geranium oils. | | Maximum Protection sun lotion SPF 30 ($29 for 6.7 ounces) provides UVA protection from titanium dioxide and avobenzone (these actives are permitted for use in sunscreens manufactured outside the United States, and Babor products are made in Germany). This water-resistant moisturizing sunscreen is best for normal to dry skin not prone to breakouts. The amount of alcohol is unlikely to be problematic for skin.
© $$$ Moderate Protection Sensitive Sun Cream SPF 20 ($27for 1. | | Maximum Protection sun lotion SPF 30 above, except this contains a smaller amount of active ingredients. Otherwise, the same review applies. This product is listed on Babor's Web site as High Protection Sensitive Sun Cream SPF 20.
© $$$ Self-Tanning Cream ($19 for 1.7 ounces) is a good self-tanner for normal to dry skin not prone to breakouts. It contains the same self-tanning agent (dihydroxyacetone) present in most self-tanners, along with erythrulose, which builds a sunless tan over a longer period of time.
© $$$ Self-Tanning Fluid ($21 for 7 0.07-ounce ampoules; total of 0. | | Aloe After sun lotion ($5.99 for 16 ounces) contains a hint of aloe and is primarily a standard, creamy lotion composed of water, thickener, mineral oil, coconut oil, slip agents, lanolin, and preservatives. It does contain fragrance and coloring agents. Skin deserves more after sun exposure than this average product.
© Sooth-A-Caine Aloe Vera Spray Gel with Lidocaine ($5.99 for 8 ounces) contains the topical anesthetic lidocaine as the active ingredient, which is helpful. What's not helpful is the amount of alcohol in this product and the inclusion of irritating menthol. | David Wolfe See book keywords and concepts | Try cacao butter, coconut oil or fresh aloe vera gel as a sun lotion. Cacao butter is the best natural sunscreen that is a whole food.
By following The Sunfood Diet your resistance to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and Sunburns will increase. Due to the antioxidants in my raw-food diet it is difficult for me to get burned under the Sun; even if I have not been in the Sun for several weeks. The best UV protection is inner protection.
Commercial sunscreens disable the body's natural sunburn alarm mechanism. | John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton See book keywords and concepts | Best known for Coppertone?sun lotion, Schering-Plough uses the coalition to "educate" the public about the dangers of skin cancer deaths, cataracts and damaged immune systems due to the atmosphere's thinning ozone layer and increased ultraviolet radiation. The campaign urges people to "liberally apply a sunscreen . . . to all exposed parts of the body before going outdoors."22
Hill & Knowlton successfully enlisted leaders of the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Sierra Club to add their names to the "Partners for Sun Protection" letterhead. | | A representative of one of the environmental groups, who asked not to be named, said he was ignorant of the Schering-Plough funding and its hidden agenda to sell sun lotion.
The best prevention for sun-caused skin cancer is, of course, to cover up completely, but saying so would be market suicide for the world's largest maker of suntan lotion and purveyor of the sexy "Coppertone?tan." One of the campaign's clever "video news releases" shows scores of sexy, scantily-clad sun worshippers still over-exposing themselves to UV rays, while slathering themselves with sun oil. |
