Tip Laurel Says -Science: While physical sunscreens like Zinc have an important place and are necessary in many situations, there is much evidence to support that plants can indeed strengthen our skin’s response to UV rays. I never wear chemical sunscreens, which can be toxic to our body systems, as well as our oceans.

Description Laurel Skin Care Sun Serum Phyto Defense + Repair is a concentrated moisturizer, serum, and elemental defense oil that addresses the symptoms of overexposure to the sun. Sea Buckthorn – This concentrated superfood extract is made of the whole fruit and seed, which makes it incredibly high in the entire range of essential fatty acids, vitamin C, flavonoids and carotenoids. This does not mean that I don’t think zinc-based sunscreen is helpful and necessary in many situations – possibly even daily for many individuals; especially those who are lacking in diet and health. If I get 20 minutes of full sun exposure in an average day that would be on the high side. This repairing serum delivers a firmer more supple appearance, a brighter more even tone, and a visible reduction in irritation and discoloration. Ingredients Scarlet Pimpernel – This tiny coral flower represents joy and strength. Carrot Seed – This oil contains specific nutrients that have proven to help prevent sun damage from occurring, as well as repair UV damage related symptoms such as discoloration and loss of elasticity. I am personally not in the sun very much at all in a typical day. When I do get more sun than usual – either on vacation or on an outdoor adventure – I always where a hat, and when I feel it’s necessary for my own skin I do use a physical sunblock containing Zinc as the only FDA approved active drug. Because of that, I do not wear physical sunscreens myself on a daily basis, and that is a risk that I choose for myself. On the other side of this conversation, plants are not drugs and do not act in a black and white way as drugs do. Apply Elixir first for hydration, followed by Serum and then Balm. I push the limits for my own skin on this delicate topic, because I wholeheartedly believe we shouldn’t live in fear of the sun or even the rare occasional sunburn for that matter.
