Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50

What it is Used For

Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is designed to offer high protection against UVA and UVB ultraviolet radiation, preventing sun damage and premature skin aging. Its mineral formula, based on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, acts as a physical barrier that reflects the sun's rays, making it a suitable option for people with sensitive skin or who prefer alternatives without chemical filters. In addition to its protective function, this lotion helps keep skin hydrated and nourished thanks to the inclusion of botanical ingredients.

Key Ingredients

The effectiveness and gentleness of this sunscreen lotion are due to its careful selection of ingredients:

• Zinc Oxide: A broad-spectrum mineral physical filter that provides protection against UVA and UVB rays by reflecting them from the skin's surface. It is known for its gentleness and low likelihood of irritation.
• Titanium Dioxide: Another mineral sunscreen filter that complements zinc oxide, offering additional defense against UV radiation.
• Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis): Renowned for its soothing, hydrating, and refreshing properties. Helps soften skin and restore its moisture balance.
• Sunflower Seed Oil (Helianthus annuus): Rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants, it helps nourish the skin and protect it from free radicals.
• Glycerin: A natural humectant that attracts moisture from the air and retains it in the skin, maintaining hydration and flexibility.
• Pure Essential Oil Blend: Contains oils such as Frankincense (Boswellia carterii), Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha), Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), and Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum), selected for their properties that may contribute to overall skin wellness and a pleasant aroma.

How to Apply

To ensure optimal protection and fully enjoy the benefits of the sunscreen lotion, follow these steps:

1. Amount: Apply a generous and even amount to the skin approximately 15-20 minutes before sun exposure. Do not skimp on product to cover all exposed areas.
2. Reapplication: Reapply at least every two hours. To maintain protection, apply more frequently after swimming, intense sweating, or towel drying.
3. Key Areas: Pay special attention to the most exposed areas such as the face, ears, neck, shoulders, arms, and legs.
4. Sensitive Skin: Perform a small test on a discreet area of the skin 24 hours before general application, especially if you have very sensitive skin.
5. Infants and Young Children: For infants under six months, consult a physician before using sunscreens.
