- Problem & Solution
The problem
Sun damage can occur even on cloudy days, causing fine lines and wrinkles to form prematurely. Air pollution and blue light from computer screens can wreak havoc too. To keep your skin looking its youthful best, it’s important to apply a safe, mineral, sunscreen every day whether you’ll be going out or not.
Norwex solution
Our mineral-based everyday facial sunscreen effectively guards against damaging UVA/UVB rays while also providing pollution and blue-light defense for a healthier, younger-looking complexion. Hydrating, lightweight, fast-absorbing and non-sticky, it rubs evenly into skin and is perfect for layering over skin care products and under makeup.
- Use & Care
- For sun protection: Apply liberally to face 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours or after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating and immediately after towel drying.
- For general daily use: Apply 2 fingers’ worth (about ¼ teaspoon) in the morning as your last skin care step and before applyingmakeup. Reapplication may be necessary before going outdoors.
- For use on children under 6 months of age, consult a doctor

- Did You Know?
- The amount of wrinkles that develop, and how prominent they are, are largely dependent on a person’s lifetime sun exposure https://www.webmd.com/beauty/features/its-not-your-mothers-skin-or-is-it
- Tests performed on the side effects of octinoxate show that it may have a negative impact on the endocrine system https://thedermreview.com/octinoxate/
- The most common sunscreens on the market contain chemical filters. These products typically include a combination of some or all of the following active ingredients: oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and octinoxate. Mineral sunscreens use zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide.
- Researchers found that four common chemicals in sunscreens— paraben, cinnamate, benzophenone and camphor derivatives— can stimulate dormant viral infections in zooxanthellae, the algae that helps give coral its spectacular color. These chemicals can cause viruses to replicate within the algae, spreading infection to nearby coral communities. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2291012/
- Many suncare products contain chemical sunscreens, which have been found to penetrate to the bloodstream and remain at levels higher than deemed safe by the FDA. Previous research has shown that some ingredients can disrupt hormones and may lead to fertility problems, poor birth outcomes for babies, and perhaps cancer. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/news-events-human-drugs/spotlight-cder-science-new-fdastudy-shines-light-sunscreen-absorption
- Ultraviolet (UV) light and exposure to sunlight is responsible for up to 90% of visible changes to your skin. High-energy visible (HEV) light known as blue light and environmental factors are responsible for the other 10% of skin changes. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/23105-premature-aging
