Mineral sun cream is no longer just about white streaks and sticky textures.
With Karmameju’s relaunched sun creams, you get advanced sun protection that also nourishes the skin – for both face and body, children and adults.
All our sun care products are formulated using exclusively mineral, physical sun filters made from non-nano zinc oxide. This provides immediate protection and broad-spectrum UVA, UVB and HEV protection.
Mineral sun cream works by protecting the skin through absorbing UV radiation whilst simultaneously reflecting and scattering some of the radiation away from the skin’s outermost layer – the protection is therefore immediate. We prefer physical filters, as several years of research indicate that they are highly photostable and less likely to irritate the skin.
Our mineral sun cream has been developed with both your health and that of your family in mind.
At Karmameju, we do not use chemical sun filters, silicone, nano-sized fragrances or ingredients that may be suspected of disrupting the body’s natural balance or hormones.
Sun care shouldn’t just protect – it should also nourish, balance and strengthen. That’s why our mineral sun cream for the face and body is enriched with bioactive ingredients and antioxidants that BOOST the skin’s defences and moisture balance. The products are dermatologically tested, and we have developed both fragranced and fragrance-free versions so that all skin types – even the most sensitive – can enjoy the sun without worry.
Mineral sun creams are generally recommended for sensitive skin types prone to sun rash, rosacea and for children.
Our sun creams do not clog pores and are ideal for all skin types, including oily skin.
Our fragrance-free sun cream has been specially developed for children, pregnant women and anyone with sensitive skin.
The fragrance-free mineral face sun cream SPF 50 and the SPF 30 version for both body and face are fragrance-free and ensure that the whole family is protected – with peace of mind and healthy skin.
We have created Karmameju SUN as a fusion of sun care and skincare. It’s more than just sun protection – the sun creams contain a high proportion of organic ingredients in a sun-protective blend of antioxidants and natural ingredients with proven efficacy.
The natural fragrances come from essential oils of zesty citrus, cooling mint and soothing lavender – aromatherapy that evokes summer memories all year round.
The SUN range also includes fragrance-free alternatives for those who prefer unscented products.
One of the biggest misconceptions about mineral sun cream is the white, sticky film it leaves behind.
At Karmameju, we’ve formulated our sun cream to be transparent on the skin, feel light on the skin and be easy to apply. It doesn’t permanently stain your clothes – and you can use the sun cream every day, both under make-up and instead of your daily face cream.
We encourage you to think of sun cream as more than just protection – but as an essential part of your skincare routine. Long-term exposure to UV radiation is responsible for up to 80 per cent of the skin’s visible ageing – this includes lines, sagging, pigmentation changes and loss of radiance. With daily use of sun cream , you can reduce these signs whilst preventing inflammation and skin damage.
The skin is so important to our general health, with its delicate pH balance and intricate microbiome. Skin health, including the use of SPF, has been shown to be essential for longevity – you can read more about this in this articleI’ve written about just how vital skin health is for us humans.
Many people are looking for sun cream free from endocrine disruptors or want to know more about the difference between mineral and chemical UV filters.
At Karmameju, we have chosen mineral UV filters based on the precautionary principle. Research into UV filters is constantly evolving, and we closely follow scientific assessments and current legislation in this area.
Our sun care products are formulated with mineral UV filters and are free from oxybenzone, octinoxate and other UV filters that are often the subject of debate regarding endocrine disruptors. At the same time, we have chosen to avoid nanotechnology in our sun care products as a precautionary measure.
If you’d like to read more about the thinking behind our choice of mineral filters, you can find further information in Mette Skjærbæk’s article “That’s why I only want to use mineral sun filters”.
Is Karmameju’s sun cream an endocrine disruptor?
No. Karmameju’s sun care products are formulated with mineral UV filters and do not contain oxybenzone or octinoxate, which are often mentioned in the debate on endocrine disruptors.
Whether you’re looking for a mineral sun cream for the face, a fragrance-free mineral sun cream SPF 50 for children or an aromatherapeutic body SPF for your beach bag – you’ll find it in Karmameju SUN. With our holistic approach to beauty and health, the SUN range is designed to support your skin – before, during and after sun exposure.
Sun protection isn’t just a choice. It’s an investment in your skin’s health – and in your wellbeing.
Even if you don’t use aromatherapeutic skincare or products for the home, nature still ensures that aromatherapy is all around us. Trees and plants release invisible plant compounds, phytoncides, which research links to lower stress levels and increased activity in the body’s natural defence cells. This is a beautiful account of forest bathing, nature’s aromatherapy and the scientific evidence behind it.
