Natural sunscreen still important despite advances in skin cancer medication

Whilst earlier reports this year signalled that skin cancer rates were tripling amongst younger people, good news hailed earlier this month that a new drug called Vermurafenib can slow down skin cancer and allow sufferers to live much longer than chemotherapy.
The drug works by acting on a faulty gene, BRAF found in half of terminally ill patients whose cancer has spread to other organs. This is no doubt the beginning of a wave of new medications that may save many lives.
Although this is good news, it is important not to lose sight of what’s really important and that is that we still need to protect ourselves when we go out in the sun. Natural sunscreen is a vital product that we should be using on a daily basis to protect ourselves against harmful UV rays. In fact, daily use can also cut down free radical damage and delay signs of aging.

As a general note it is important not to assume that yet again we can pop a pill to fix the problem created by poor lifestyles. Our current culture of fixing things when they go wrong rather than preventing ill health by concentrating on staying well through exercise, good diet and real food supplementation is the wrong path for us as a species.

Gamarde - The best all natural sunscreen without chemicals

With summer here, sunscreens are flying off the shelves, but natural skincare product lovers will know that the chemicals lurking in sun protection lotion can also leave you vulnerable to skin damage.

Only recently, May 2010 to be exact, the Environmental Working Group reported the results of a year long study which found that a common sunscreen ingredient called retinal palmitate caused tumours and lesions to develop 21% faster in lab animals.

With consumers applying sunscreen that contains this to their skin on a frequent daily basis during the summer months and sometimes all year round in hot countries, this news is of obvious concern!

Gamarde all natural sunscreens and self tanning fluids do not contain any harmful chemicals such as retinal palmitate. Gamarde have produced a mineral sunscreen range that uses natural zinc oxide minerals to protect from the sun combined with other natural and organic ingredients such as Argan Oil and shea butter that nourish and protect the skin. With Spf factor 10, 15 and 50 and self tanning fluid the range protects against harmful UVB, UVA, UVC and IR rays, by utilising natural mineral sunscreens and filters naturally present in nature and the epidermis.

Their exclusive formulas leave no white mark traces on the skin. Which is great news if you hate looking grey! Other key ingredients include thermal spring water from the Gamarde springs, which combined with the nourishing oils and butters, nourish the skin and provide high antioxidant protection to prevent premature aging.

Gamarde natural sunscreen also contains NO Parabens, Phenoxyethanol, synthetic colouring agents, PEG’s GMO’s and are Not tested on Animals. All Cosmetique Bio Certified !! Great value, amazing results, luxury performance!!
