So, What is Solar Radiation?
Solar radiation includes a very large range of radiation including the light that it is so important to almost all life on earth. Also the kind of radiation we cannot see mostly defined as UV, which can have the main impact on the skin. UV radiation is divided into UVB and UVA radiation. In the offices and behind the glass and in the morning and evening hours most of the radiation is UVA radiation.All Natural Mineral SunScreens
If You Wonder What UVA and UVB Stand For, Here is a Brief Explanation.
UVB is a small part of the sun’s invisible radiation, affecting only the outer skin. It causes the production of vitamin D, which is so important to us, as well as the “redness” of burning-sunburn.UVA is the main invisible solar radiation that affects the outer skin and penetrates even in deeper layers. It causes skin aging, pigmentation, and a variety of familiar skin problems. Unfortunately, we can’t see the damage immediately.
The differences can be seen in the attached picture. You can see the depth of penetration and the various damage to our body.
What is SPF? Why is it important to check the sunscreen’s SPF?
SPF is a measure of the level of protection against UVB products only. The test compares how long it takes for sun-sensitive skin to turn red. It also shows how long it takes when the skin is covered in the cream to turn red. If a person is sensitive to direct sun exposure, his skin will turn red within about 20 minutes. If the person applies to his/her skin the SPF 15 cream, it will take 15 times this time- about 300 minutes (5 hours in direct sunlight). The SPF 50 cream will take 20 times, lasting as long as 6.5 hours. Therefore, it is clear that 15SPF is sufficient for daily exposure to UVB. And SPF50 is enough for those who plan to be 8 hours or more at sea. “Lavender Natural Cosmetics” Sunscreen product line was designed to offer sun protection. We kept in mind that our body needs a certain amount of exposure to the sun, in order to be able to produce Vitamin D. Therefore stronger protection may not be necessary. We need the exact protection, so our body can still benefit from sun exposure. Use our Face Cream SPF30 before you leave home as natural sun protection when you are outside.But what about UVA? Why do you need natural sun protection?
Only in recent years, the health authorities have demanded protection from the UVA radiation, which is the really problematic radiation. Standardization in Israel and around the world requires a minimum of 90% UV radiation, leaving some radiation to pass and cause pigmentation and other long-term sun damage. “Lavender Natural Cosmetics” offers protective creams that block 99.9% of the UVA radiation and protect you perfectly, up to 100 times more than other creams on the shelf. We try to offer products that can give you natural sun protection.How do “Lavender Natural Cosmetics” series of creams protect you from the sun?
