Question 1

Q: Is Sun Shield a replacement for sunscreen?  Is it a sunscreen?

Accepted Answer

A: Sun Shield is not a sunscreen. Products must contain either a chemical blocker (like oxybenzene) or a physical blocker (like zinc oxide) to legally be considered a sunscreen. Instead, Sun Shield uses plant oils and herbs that have a natural SPF and protect skin on a cellular level. Some people use it instead of a traditional sunscreen and some people use it along with a traditional sunscreen.

Question 2

Q: What is the SPF of Sun Shield?

Accepted Answer

A: Because it is not legally a sunscreen, it has no official SPF rating.

Question 3

Q: Sun Shield is just a bunch of oils…isn’t that like cooking yourself in the sun?

Accepted Answer

A: No. Our skin naturally protects itself with oils! This will penetrate your skin to protect your skin at a cellular level (apply the oils to skin 10-15 minutes before going outside). It will not make you ‘cook’ in the sun. You can learn more about sunscreens and natural oil SPF in our blog

Question 4

Q: Some of the oils in Sun Shield are seed oils! I thought we were never supposed to use those?  Won’t they become toxic when exposed to sun?

Accepted Answer

A: It’s best to avoid seed oils that have been heated to high temperatures, like when frying food, because they do become denatured and potentially toxic then. However, small amounts of raw, cold-pressed seed oils are fine, especially topically. The heat level at which these oils become denatured is at least 300 degrees F (which is fairly cool for cooking, but much higher than they would ever get on your skin). You’re safe here!

Question 5

Q: Is Sun Shield strong enough for ________?

Accepted Answer

A: It varies greatly. Some people who are very fair can use it exclusively in strong sunlight and not burn. Others may burn even in moderate sunlight. It depends on genetics, tendency to burn, strength of sun, time of year, and even diet. A person who consumes an anti-inflammatory diet will be less likely to burn and experience more success with Sun Shield than those who eat more sugar, vegetable oils, and white flour. (Yes, really!)

Question 6

Q: What if Sun Shield doesn’t work for me?

Accepted Answer

A: Like anything else, Sun Shield doesn’t work for 100% of people. We recommend trying it out during shorter sun exposure first (rather than a long day at the beach). If it doesn’t work, we have a money-back guarantee — just let us know.

Question 7

Q: Can I use Sun Shield while swimming?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes, you can, but we suggest letting the product absorb into the skin as much as possible before getting in the pool and reapplying frequently.
