Skin and Ocean Friendly Sun Lotions!

• No chemical ‘nasties’ for safe sun protection
• Key actives protect against premature ageing
• Gentle to skin – beat prickly heat!
• Award-winning organic sun lotions

Why slather your skin with conventional chemical laden sunscreens that absorb ‘nasties’ into the body, block the pores causing prickly heat and can even be damaging the Ocean wildlife? Green People’s award-winning organic sun lotions use effective natural and skin-friendly ingredients to effectively protect against UVA and UVB rays, to help avoid premature ageing and to be safe to the oceans ecosystem.

Research studies have reported that the UV filters used in chemical sunscreens may be contributing to coral bleaching. As a 20 minute dip in the sea is enough to wash off 25% or up to 6,000 tonnes of sunscreen, up to 10% of the world’s coral reefs could be threatened by sunscreen-induced coral bleaching!* Seven damaging ‘nasties’ including Parabens were highlighted. Green People do not use Parabens, Silicones, Petrochemicals, Mineral Oils, Artificial fragrances, Colours or Preservatives – so they’re biodegradable and safe for the seas, as well as the skin!

More than just a sun lotion!
One of the only natural sun lotion ranges available in the UK, Green People use some clever ingredients to offer the most effective organic sunscreens that nature can offer:

• Titanium Dioxide mineral, Cinnamic acid (from cinnamon oil) and Edelweiss extract sit on the surface of skin to naturally bounce UVA & UVB rays, offering more effective, broad spectrum protection. Edelweiss grows at high altitude, where UV rays are very strong, so it has evolved to give a natural defence against UV light.
• Avocado oil is rich in fatty acids and Vitamins A, C & E to plump the skin, help prevent wrinkles and deeply nourish. It protects against free radical damage and works with the natural sun filters to increase protection.
• Green Tea, Olive and Rosemary Oils offer natural antioxidants to help support the skin’s immune system and protect against cell damage, helping to avoid premature ageing.
• Berry Wax from the Japanese Sumach tree offers natural water resistant properties without blocking the pores.
