Cold pressed Ontario sunflower seed oil provides up to SPF 15 protection and contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, D, E, and Beta carotene to nourish the skin.

Soothing zinc works like a layer of tiny reflectors to provide 28 times the skin’s natural protections against harmful UVA & UVB rays. The 325M size of the zinc particles will not penetrate the skin, unlike the nano-particles used in so called “invisible” or chemical sunscreens.

Cocoa butter is traditionally used to heal and moisturize skin that has been exposed to the elements, and to prepare the skin to make essential vitamin D in the sun. Cocoa Butter contains natural antioxidants that prevent rancidity.

Natural, pure, unbleached beeswax adds protection by keeping the sunscreen on the surface of your skin, and provides some resistance to loss from swimming and perspiration.

Sodium borate aka borax is a natural mineral salt common in cosmetics and foods – used here in a tiny 2.541% concentration to emulsify the beeswax. Borax is potentially irritating only in concentrations of &gt,5% and on broken skin.

Full spectrum natural Vitamin E plays a crucial role in protecting skin cells and membranes from environmental damage. This protection extends to stopping damage to the skin from UV rays, pollutants and aging.

Grapefruit Seed Extract is derived from the seeds and membrane portion of the grapefruit and has demonstrated its ability to kill or inhibit the growth of a wide array of potentially harmful bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoan parasites.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Apply to all exposed and unbroken skin every 2 hours, especially between 10am and 3pm, and after swimming or perspiring. Apply a generous amount so that the skin appears white, then rub in until the whiteness disappears. Follow common sense precautions in full sun by wearing a wide brimmed hat and finding shade if the skin reddens.

CAUTIONS: Do not use on broken or irritated skin. While the ingredients are generally non-toxic and non-irritant, sensitization or allergy can occur. If you have sensitive or allergy-prone skin, please order a sample first and test the cream on the inside of your elbow – as you should with all new products.

TEXTURE CHANGES: Changes in humidity and temperature can cause changes in the texture of the cream, or liquid to form on the surface. These changes do not affect the performance of the sunscreen, and do not signify spoilage. Just pour off any liquid that forms. The solid mass will perform as well or better! OR very very gently heat it and remix, pouring it back into the jar quickly before it sets.
