Why Sol de Ibiza?

Whether you like spending time working in your yard or lounging by the pool, you might be concerned about how the sun will impact your skin over the long term. It is important to use the right suncare products when you're going to be spending time in the sun. 

All sunscreens are not created equal, so choosing the right one is a big part of sun safety. Here at Sol de Ibiza, we want to make it easy by giving you the low-down on safe sunscreen and healthy sunscreen ingredients.

But to understand why it’s important to pick a safe sunscreen, we first need to talk about why it’s important to wear sunscreen.

Why It’s Important To Wear Sunscreen?

UV rays can take a toll on your skin in major ways: sunburn, premature skin aging, and — the big one — skin cancer. The sun is no joke!

Even if you’re relentless about staying out of the midday sun and covering up with a hat and clothing while you're outside, sunscreen is still an essential part of your sun-protection routine.

Maybe you apply sunscreen every day and always make sure your kids are protected from the sun, too. That’s good! But are you paying attention to the type of sunscreen you use?

Why Safe Sunscreen Matters?

The sunscreen you put on your and your kids’ bodies day in and day out doesn’t just evaporate into thin air. Where does that white, skin-protecting cream go?

It’s either absorbed into your body, washed off into the water you swim in, or both. That’s precisely why safe sunscreen matters. Because when sunscreen absorbs into your skin, it can directly impact your health.

And when sunscreen washes off into the ocean water you swim in, it affects the coral reefs, the fish, and other sea creatures (which, in turn, affects us if we eat them!).

For example, there is particular concern about oxybenzone, an ingredient commonly used in certain types of sunscreens.

When this ingredient gets absorbed into the human body, it can pass through the placental barrier and end up in a mother’s breast milk. It can also disrupt hormone levels for both men and women.

Plus, this chemical is just plain irritating for people with sensitive skin or skin conditions. Not to mention it bleaches the coral reefs.

As you can see, the ingredients in your sunscreen really do matter when it comes to the health and safety of you, your family, and the big, beautiful ocean we splash around in!

The goal is, of course, to use a sunscreen that’s effective (protecting your family from the damaging rays of the sun) and innocent (so it won’t harm your body in the process).

How can Sol de Ibiza be so effective and totally innocent?
