Since time immemorial, when man and beast have sought respite from the sun, they have sought shade.
Our Shade™ All-Natural Sunscreen is an effective, natural sun cream which literally does what it says on the tin. It's won awards for the last four years running, and is extremely popular with the zero waste/plastic free movement due to the plastic free packaging.
Nowadays, there are too many dangerous chemicals that have found their way into mainstream sunscreens, and they in turn have found their way through our skin – into us! If we’re trying to avoid skin cancer, why would we use chemicals which are proven to cause it? That simply doesn’t make sense.
At an ideal SPF25, with only 4 ingredients to moisturise and protect skin from the broadest spectrum of damaging UVA and UVB rays, Shade™ has been developed to keep our skin naturally healthy whilst blocking rays that can burn and cause sun damage.
Shade™ is tested to EU standards for broad spectrum capability, and for SPF value.
We Need the Sun!
There is no doubt that we need to protect our skin from the sun, but by the same token, we need some sun to generate an essential nutrient which helps to prevent cancer - Vitamin D. Getting sun is the only way our bodies will make it for ourselves, so we spend some sensible time in the sun, making use of hats and light clothing BUT if we can’t avoid prolonged exposure, we ensure we take our Shade™ with us!
"We have used quite a few sunscreens in our day, and most have been greasy, leave you white, and make our children's skin irritated and red. They also contain chemicals, which we don't like. We used Shade on a recent trip to Queensland, and we couldn't be happier. It is quickly adsorbed into the skin, leaves your skin smooth and is not greasy at all. Best of all, we didn't get burnt. Shade is a fantastic natural alternative to other sunscreens. Shade is now the only sunscreen we will use."
