Hi Go For Zero family!
As we transition into the beautiful autumn season here in Australia, it's important to remember that sun protection is a year-round necessity. While the days may be getting shorter and the weather cooler, the sun's harmful UV rays can still damage our skin. Today, we're diving into the world of natural and chemical sunscreens to help you make an informed decision for your family and the planet.
Firstly, let’s break down the top 3 difference when it comes to natural vs. chemical sunscreens:
Some common chemical sunscreen ingredients that have raised concerns include:
More research is needed, but the chemical industry can't keep using that as an excuse. We are not waiting around. At Go For Zero, we research all ingredients and have found effective natural alternatives.
We proudly offer effective, natural, mineral-based sunscreens made with nourishing ingredients. Zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, while being gentle on sensitive skin and less likely to clog pores.
Our sunscreens are enriched with skin-loving botanicals like green tea extract, raspberry seed oil, and vitamin E to soothe and hydrate your skin while shielding it from the sun.
We've researched and tested the best natural sunscreens from Australian brands that prioritise both human health and the environment:
These natural sunscreens offer the perfect combination of skin protection, nourishment, and eco-friendliness. By choosing these brands, you're not only taking care of your skin but also supporting Australian made brands that prioritise the health of our planet and oceans.
Do you need to wear sunscreen on a cloudy day? Yes, even on cloudy or cool autumn days, up to 80% of UV rays can still reach your skin. Make sun protection a daily habit, just like brushing your teeth! Apply sunscreen generously to all exposed areas before heading outdoors, and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or excessive sweating.
Making the switch to natural sunscreen is a small change that can have a big impact on your health and our planet. At Go For Zero, we believe in supporting brands that care, so you can feel good about the choices you make for your family, all year round.
With love,
