Why We Made This: The Story Behind COLORFREE ZINC SUNSCREEN SPF 32
Sunscreen has been around for millennia. Starting with the days when people smeared sheep’s tallow on their skin to protect it from harsh winds and brutal sun, to the more recent oxybenzone-based sunscreens we now know damage both our skin and the well-being of our planet. Skincare science has advanced significantly since then—enough to show us that conventional sunscreens that protect from UV rays during the daylight hours are simply not enough. We need comprehensive round-the-clock protection against all the different assaults on DNA that negatively impact skin’s health and integrity. In addition, let’s go back to what inspired people to use sheep tallow in the first place—a desire for glowing, supple, youthful-looking skin. These days, a good sunscreen should provide more than just sun protection. It should protect skin from all sources of light damage and major hallmarks of aging.
