As summer dawns in Cape Town, the city vibrates with life. Beautiful beaches beckon, and outdoor adventures await. With temperatures often reaching above 30°C (86°F), protecting our skin from the sun’s harsh rays is critical. This is where handmade zinc sunscreen steps in. Made from natural zinc oxide powder and carrot seed oil, this sunscreen doesn’t just shield your skin; it also celebrates Cape Town’s vibrant spirit through its colorful packaging.
Crafted with care right in Cape Town, this sunscreen captures the essence of South African heritage. Its natural ingredients make it suitable for all skin types, especially for sensitive skin. The natural zinc oxide powder works as a mineral-based barrier against harmful UVA and UVB rays. In addition, carrot seed oil provides an extra layer of SPF40 and nourishes the skin.
The Bounty of Nature: Why Zinc and Carrot Seed Oil?
One of the highlights of this sunscreen is its use of zinc oxide powder. This ingredient is known for being a natural physical sunscreen that sits atop the skin and reflects UV rays. Studies show that zinc oxide can block up to 97% of UVB rays, making it a reliable option for sun protection. Unlike chemical sunscreens, which can absorb into the skin and sometimes cause irritation, zinc oxide is gentler and free from harsh chemicals.
Carrot seed oil adds another dimension to this powerful sunscreen. Rich in antioxidants, it has shown in various studies to provide a natural SPF of around 35-40. This oil helps keep the skin hydrated and nourished, resulting in smooth, supple skin while also providing sun protection. Together, zinc oxide and carrot seed oil offer an effective shield against the sun's rays while keeping the skin healthy.
Celebrate South African Heritage with Every Application
This zinc sunscreen is unique not only for its effectiveness but also for its rich cultural significance. Wrapped in the vibrant colors of the South African flag, each hue symbolizes key aspects of the country’s heritage:
Red honors the sacrifices made during the struggle for independence.
Yellow represents South Africa’s rich mineral and natural wealth.
Black acknowledges the indigenous people and their significant contributions.
Blue reflects the endless opportunities in the clear skies above Cape Town.
