Sunscreen that doesn’t screen the sun?

Written by suNNy on 11 December 2009 – 2:01

A study of almost 1,000 sunscreens has found that 4 out of 5 do not screen out the sun as promised or may contain chemicals that could be hazardous to your health…

Here’s how that can be: Apparently sunscreen companies can make any claims they want. Though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is supposed to ensure that all such products are safe and effective, that government agency has not issued any standards that sunscreen producers must meet. And the agency has not approved some ingredients that are used in Europe that could provide better UV radiation protection, according to the EWG…

TruKid Sunny Days Facestick is an easy to use sunscreen in a stick formula that can be spread easily across the face and body for effective protection against the sun’s harmful rays. A nice alternative to liquid formulas, the face & body stick glides on quick and easy for convenient coverage all day long when reapplied every 80 minutes. Great for the pool, the beach, hiking, anywhere!

Hi tested an alternative to “chemical cocktails”, it’s a technical sunscreen. You will really be able to enjoy the sun as much as you want for as long as you want without any negative side effects of it whatsoever. I am from FL so I am more than familiar with the risks and problems created by too much sun exposure (sun burn, sun allergies, wrinkles or toxic ingredients of sun block products). I found a perfect product invented by a German engineer, which is scientifically proven and medically recommended. It filter out harmful rays and let biopositive & tanning rays go through. It will protect you from the sun and at the same time allow you to benefit from it – you get only the healthy sun rays, you sweat less, you don’t need to think about sun blocks…just enjoy getting a tan without ever getting a sun burn again! My cousin brought it back from Germany. I’m not sure whether it’s available over-the-counter in U.S. . The product is called Heliovital and you can check it out on their web site – http://www.heliovital.com. Once I used this product, I never tanned without it again. I would recommend it to everyone!
