New certified organic sun lotion from ORGANii

British brand ORGANii has launched a new SPF 30 mineral sun lotion, which is certified natural and organic and is suitable for sensitive skin.

The new SPF 30 Sun Lotion blends easily into the skin and offers instant protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays, compared to chemical-based sunscreens that need to be rubbed in and take around 20 minutes before they shield the skin.

The medium-protection formula has a fluid consistency so there is no residue left on the skin after application, while protecting your skin from the UVA and UVB rays naturally and safely. Non-nano zinc oxide and non-nano titanium dioxide sit on top of the skin, reflecting the sun’s rays and creating a protective barrier. The sun lotion is also enriched with organic aloe vera, green tea leaf extract and coconut oil that will leave your skin soft and supple.

The ORGANii Sun Range consist of four products, three SPFs and an after sun cream, all of which are AIAB certified organic, suitable for vegans and do not contain colours, fragrances, artificial preservatives (like parabens) or chemical synthesised sun protection boosters.

The ORGANii SPF 30 Sun Lotion is available now from all good wholesalers, RRP £19.95.

Why is a mineral sunscreen better?
Traditional conventional sunscreens use chemical ingredients designed to absorb sun rays and release their energy as heat. Such ingredients can cause skin irritation, and many of these chemicals have also been linked to disrupting the endocrine system, which regulates the hormone function in the body.

Perfect for sensitive skin, including babies’, the ORGANii sun care range offers a safer and gentler alternative. It uses organic ingredients such as karanja oil with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide that creates a protective shield on the skin, scattering and reflecting UVA and UVB rays.

Whilst a chemical-based sun cream only works 20 minutes after application, a mineral sun product works instantly as it creates a barrier between the sun and the skin rather than being absorbed into the epidermis.
