Are you afraid of being attacked by free radicals? if the answer is yes, it is time to switch up your usual sunscreens for chemical-free <\/a>alternatives. Why should you go down the chemical-free path, you might wonder.<\/p>

Over the past few years, researchers have conducted studies to hypothesize that using sunscreens<\/a> with added chemicals resulted in slight hormonal changes. For example, studies conducted on men yielded recordings of a drop in testosterone levels when chemical sunscreens were first used.\u00a0 These changes are not clinically significant and were\u00a0observed on the first day of use only. However, what we put on our bodies reflects how it would respond. Using less chemically formulated products is beneficial for us in the long run.<\/p>

WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK OUT FOR IN CHEMICAL-FREE SUNSCREENS<\/span> <\/h2>

Zinc Oxide is what you should be looking out for on the ingredients list. It acts as a physical blocker and is an amazing \u00a0ingredient to provide all round protection. As Zinc Oxide can give off a white cast, companies specializing in chemical-free sunscreens formulate their products accordingly to prevent the whitish appearance. Take for example Drunk Elephant's Umbra Sheer Physcial Defense SPF<\/a> 30, it contains a 20 percent concentration of Zinc Oxide. When used regularly, it will help to protect your skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays. We love how light weight this feels on our skin as well.<\/p>
