SOLAR D SUNSCREEN
Introducing Solar D, the world’s first sunscreen that offers maximum sun protection while permitting essential vitamin D to form through to the skin.
According to a 2012 Medical Express report, 1 in 3 Australians are Vitamin D deficient. While Aussies love the sunshine, we are also taught from a young age to “slip slop slap”. Traditional sunscreens filter out the parts of UVB light that the skin uses to naturally create vitamin D, meaning that our bodies are not able to produce enough of the much-needed vitamin. Leaving the skin unprotected is not the solution… Solar D is.
“With Solar D, we have developed a sunscreen that not only screens the harmful melanoma-causing UV rays and fights the ageing process, but more importantly we have created formula that permits the particular UVB rays through, and as such allows your body to naturally produce vitamin D”, says Mathew Collett, the Managing Director of Solar D.
Created with patented technology and using the safest possible active ingredients, Solar D products are free from nano-particles such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, as well as from paragons, PABA and oxybenzone. Solar D has also been approved the Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA) in Australia, and the FDA in America.
Developed and owned by Aussies, Solar D is oil-free and fragrance-free, and available in SPF50 for daily use and SPF for Active and Kids, which are water-resistant for up to two hours.
