20 REASONS WHY PEVONIA’S UNIQUE HYDRATING SUNSCREEN SPF40 OFFERS THE BEST AND MOST NATURAL PROTECTION YOU COULD POSSIBLY ASK FOR:
1. Did you know that anything over an SPF40 means it contains synthetic sunscreen agents? Plus, SPF 40 blocks approximately 97.5% of UVB (burning) rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98% - why put harmful ingredients on your skin, simply to gain an extra 0.5% protection against UVB rays?
2. Up to 50% of the world's coral reefs have already been lost or severely damaged; Scientists predict that all corals will be threatened by 2050 and that 75% will face high to critical threat levels. Much of the coral reef damage is caused by synthetic sunscreen agents. Pevonia’s sunscreen is one of the only products on the market today which is ocean-friendly and coral reef-safe. At Pevonia we believe it is our responsibility to create products that are made with great respect for nature. That is why our products are sustainably sourced, free from harmful chemicals with biodegradable formulas that will not harm the earth when discarded. Look out for sunscreens containing Oxybenzone or Octinoxate which harm coral reefs.
3. People often ask why our face creams only contain an SPF of 8. The reason is, if you are using a moisturiser with a high SPF, it won’t be active because the sunblock ingredients counteract the other actives within the product, therefore it won’t actually be doing the job it is supposed to do.
4. Our sunscreen also protects your skin from blue light i.e. artificial visible light or High Energy Visible light emitted from electrical devices such as smartphones and computer screens. Did you know that blue light goes deeper into the skin than UVA and UVB does? It goes all the way into the fat layer and is therefore actually much more damaging – long term.
5. It features Pevonia’s proprietary SunShield technology with a potent four-fold protective action. What does that mean? SunShield safeguards the skin from (i) sunburn, (ii) accelerated ageing, (iii) hyperpigmentation, and (iv) dehydration, all caused by continuous exposure to UV, infrared, and blue light rays.
6. As this cream protects from UVA, UVB and infrared & Blue light it means that it is equal to a star rating system used on other lines. This is the best protection you can receive!
7. It contains only safe sunscreen ingredients such as Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide (never nanoparticles).
8. It contains botanical ingredients to support skin wellness while offering thorough protection.
9. Indian Ginseng Root Extract (Withania Somnifera), one of the main ingredients in Pevonia’s Sunscreen, has been clinically proven to protect the skin from blue light, it helps the wellness of the skin, and repairs the damage caused from previous exposure to blue light. The more you use it the better the skin will be fixed.
10. Zinc oxide is a natural mineral (physical sunscreen agent) and is great for people with acne as it has antiseptic properties naturally, so it gives you protection and kills bacteria, and therefore it won't make your skin oily. It is a safe non-nanoparticle.
11. Titanium Dioxide is a natural mineral and an active ingredient (physical sunscreen agent) which reflects and scatters UV rays off the surface of the skin and also has antiseptic properties. It is a safe non-nanoparticle.
12. Argan Oil from the Argania Spinosa Tree deeply repairs and restores the skin’s pliability. Think of the skin like the ocean; the cells are the fish, the ocean is the water, we need water.
13. Aloe Vera is naturally very healing and is ideal for sunburn recovery.
14. Hyaluronic Acid (from sugar beets) is intensely hydrating which is vital for your skin when exposed to the sun.
15. Green Tea reduces irritation, soothes and calms sunburnt skin, is full of vitamins and has antioxidant properties.
16. It’s homogenized which basically means it doesn’t separate, so you don’t have to shake it every time you want to use it.
17. It's a non-chalky and non-greasy formula.
18. It is suitable for babies from birth.
19. It is not waterproof; however, it is water resistant.
20. Per ml, our sunscreen is only 40p!
We believe this is the only Sunscreen on the market today that can offer this much natural protection from ageing the skin (UVA), as well as harmful sun rays (UVB) and blue light, plus it protects our oceans and reefs, and is safe for all the family, and of course is contains 100% all natural and sustainably-sourced ingredients.
