100% Natural Origin Ingredients

When zinc oxide is manufactured as a UV filter, it is made as either small particles, named “nano” or larger particles, named “non-nano”. A nanoparticle is a particle smaller than 100 nanometers (nm), or 100 billionths of a meter. Many sunscreen manufactures use nano size zinc oxide because it is clear, making it less whitening when the sunscreen is applied. The nano mineral filters are not as effective as the non-nano mineral filters because many of the UV rays pass through the smaller nano sized particles. There are studies showing that very small nanoparticles (smaller than 35nm) of zinc oxide can be harmful to the environment by being toxic to marine life. Love Sun Body only uses non-nano zinc oxide. The range for "non-nano" is 100 nanometers (nm) or greater. The larger size non-nano zinc oxide is opaque and absorbs, scatters and reflects UV rays.

When titanium dioxide is manufactured as a UV filter, it is made as either small particles, named “nano” or larger particles, named “non-nano”. A nanoparticle is a particle smaller than 100 nanometers (nm), or 100 billionths of a meter.

Iron Oxides are naturally occurring minerals known to be safe, gentle and non-toxic on the surface of the skin. Iron oxides typically come in shades of red, orange, brown and black. With the right proportion of titanium dioxide (which is white), it can cover imperfections and provide an even skin tone.

This plant derived fatty acid is used as a binding agent and texture enhancer.

Jojoba Esters are a complex mixture of long chain fatty acids and fatty alcohols. Pure jojoba esters' chemical structure is very similar to that of human sebum.

Lactobacillus is one of the species of microorganisms used to produce fermented products. Like many members of the lactic acid bacteria family, Lactobacillus is capable of restricting the growth of other microorganisms by acidifying its environment and moisturizing benefits.

Lactobacillus Ferment acts as a natural broad-spectrum antimicrobial by acidifying the environment and producing antimicrobial peptides called bacteriocins.

This plant based unique ingredient has a real affinity with your skin, containing 60% to 70% phospholipids, it immediately penetrates your skin, metabolizing ceramides and forming healthy skin cells, which in turn stabilizes your skin’s barrier function.

Raspberry Seed Oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the beautiful red, tart berries of Rubus idaeus, commonly cultivated in the temperate regions of Europe and northern Asia. Like all berry oils, is one of the best choices for protective skin care products where it shows a remarkable protective and healing benefit not delivered by any other oils.

Silica is a colorless compound that occurs as the mineral quartz and as a principal constituent of sandstone and other rocks. 

Sodium Chloride assists in regulating the viscosity of our formulas.

Sorbitan Olivate is an emulsifier and surfactant made from natural sugar alcohol and the fatty acids of olive oil.

Stearic Acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid, vegetable origin. Stearic acid has been shown to protect skin's surface against water loss and help shore up skin's protective barrier.

Sunflower Oil is the oil pressed from the seeds of sunflower (Helianthus annuus). When it comes to skincare, sunflower seed oil is a great source of vitamin E, rich in nutrients and antioxidants, and is effective for combatting skincare issues like acne, inflammation, general redness and irritation of the skin.
