PRESS RELEASE: Potentially damaging Zinc Oxide used in sunscreens – the sun mousse® is Zinc Oxide free!

Recent findings suggest the risk of cancer is increased when using products containing Zinc Oxide.  Selecting the right sunscreen,  is now more difficult than ever–  the sun mousse® is the answer.

Zinc Oxide is a widely used ingredient in most sunscreens. It acts as a physical block from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Not only does a recent study suggest that this compound is harmful, but it also sits on the skin leaving a sticky and greasy residue!

Unlike many other sunscreens  the sun mousse® is specially formulated to help protect the skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays, without the use of Zinc Oxide. Popular amongst major health and beauty retailer Boots, the sun mousse® has  fast established itself as a leader in the sunscreen market. Now with concerns that Zinc Oxide could be a significant threat to your skin’s health– the sun mousse® is sure to be the popular choice for the whole family!

the sun mousse® is available in SPF 20, SPF 30, SPF 30 for Kids and now SPF 50 and SPF 50 for kids.  the sun mousse® contains Octocrylene and  Polysilicone sun filters, to help protect you and your loved one’s from UVA and UVB rays. All variants allow your skin to breathe normally, reducing the risk of prickly heat!

Christian Hankins, Brand Manager of the sun mousse® claims “the sun mousse® is truly unique, not just because it’s a mousse but because it is rapidly absorbed into the secondary layer of the skin. This means the skin breath’s normally reducing the chances of getting prickly heat. Crucially, the sun mousse® contains the latest in sun protection technology. I truly believe the sun mousse® is the best way to protect the whole family.”
