If you look at the ingredients in aerosol sunscreens, you’ll quickly determine why you don’t want to breathe it. More importantly, there is significant concern that children and parents are inhaling the particulates. As the SPF is actually a logarithmic function, if you are applying a SPF 100, you’re actually only putting on SPF equivalent of 3.
Scientists have shown that parents apply 25% of the correct amount when using aerosol. We also do not and won’t use aerosol dispensers, nor should you. Kevin Brodwick, founder of THINKBABY and THINKSPORT explains why: “We always use the precautionary principle and as we expect the debate on the safety of nano particles to continue, we asked a simple question: Does the product have to contain nano particles to be an effective sunscreen? The answer is, quite simply, ‘no.’ “ Don’t be misled by ultra-high SPF numbersĪdditionally, THINKBABY and THINKSPORT LIVE STRONG sunscreens utilize average zinc oxide particles greater than 110nm. You should know that the effective difference between SPF 30 and SPF 100 is approximately 2.5% difference. They have also ruled the terms Sweatproof and Waterproof as false claims. The FDA has recently ruled that SPF numbers above 50 are not allowed. Instead, these ultra-high SPFs are inflated through the use of chemical UV absorbers. An SPF higher than SPF 30 offers only minimal improvement in sun protection and does not provide insight into its ability to protect for both UVA and UVB. A quick look on your local drugstore shelf will show an increasing number of chemical sunscreens boasting ultra-high SPFs of 70 and greater. The new sunscreen developed by THINKBABY and THINKSPORT LIVE STRONG sunscreen is highly effective, falls into the highest category for water resistance and has a sensible SPF 50+ rating. How is the THINKBABY and THINKSPORT LIVESTRONG different? Most people wear sunscreen to reduce the chance of developing cancer, so why apply something that could potentially increase this risk? This question has unfortunately left many people moving away from using sunscreen at all. Not only do ingredients in sunscreen interact with skin, but data shows after application of lotions, some of the same chemicals can be detected in the bloodstream. Many existing sunscreens have been brought to market with little concern for their safety. Simply looking at the ingredients you’ll quickly realize you don’t recognize any of them.
