Despite increased education on becoming sun smart,
the incidence of skin cancer appears to be rising.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, more than
600,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each
year, and the figure is rising. Skin cancer is the
most common cancer in the United States and is
responsible for 8,500 deaths annually.
A hypothesis for this phenomenon are two-fold:
1) Most people have acidic skin with a pH of below
5. The radiation from the sun reacts with the acids
on the skin causing acid crystals and damage to the
skin cells leading to cancer,
and,
2) Harmful acidic chemicals lurking in cosmetics and
sunscreens are reacting with the radiation of the sun
damaging the cells of the skin leading to skin cancer.
International studies found the greatest rise in
melanoma occurred in countries where chemical
sunscreens are heavily promoted.
Robert O. Young, Ph.D., states that, "commercially
available cosmetics, lotions and sunscreens might
damage people's skin when it reacts with radiation
from the sun."
The Environmental Working Group's (EWG) in the
June 2007 study where 785 sunscreens were analyzed
showed that 84 percent provided inadequate protection
from the sun's radiation or contained ingredients
with safety concerns.
That is not the case with the all natural Young
pHorever Sun Screen with pure essential oil of
Citronella which contains no harmful ingredients.
Some experts suggest that many sunscreen formulas
may be cancer causing. The harmful chemicals identified
include allergy-creating PABA, benzophenone-3,
homosalate, octyl-methoxycinnamate (OMC) and
4-methyl-benzylidene camphor (4-MBC). While these
chemicals protect skin from sun damage, experts have
indicated the chemical octyl methoxycinnamate, which
is present in 90 percent of sunscreen brands, was
found to kill mouse cells even at low doses.
Recent studies on childhood illnesses linked these
findings to a possible cause of ADHD, asthma and
allergies.
Some sunscreen ingredients also change estrogen
levels in the body affecting DNA and causing cell
damage by creating an abundance of hydrogen ions
or acids.
As a result of these astonishing findings and
increased consumer demand, Dr. Young has created
a naturally derived sunscreen range which has no
harmful ingredients for longevity, fragrance or
moisturising purposes. Young pHorever Sun Screen
products consist of powerful antioxidants such as
Tea Tree Oil and Grapefruit Seed extract; Apricot Oil,
Avocado Oil, Almond Oil and colloidal Titanium and
Zinc to fight environmental stressors; moisturizing
and skin-conditioning oils; and vitamin E to assist
with skin reconstruction at a cellular level.
This combination of ingredients is suitable for
all skin types and will help combat the signs of
photo-aging.
The Young pHorever Sun pHun Screen range is a result
of extensive research and development and features a
new formula that is non-greasy, gentle, hydrating
and moisturising.
The Young pHorever Sun pHun Products include: SPF 15,
and SPF 30+, and in October 2007: Baby, Sport,
Lip Sunscreen, Sport Lip Sunscreen, and
Sun & Body Oil.
In addition to being naturally derived, the Young
pHorever Sun pHun products have been tested and proven
to have a sensitivity rating of zero which makes
them ideal for all skin types.
Young pHorever Sun pHun products are cruelty free
and stringently adhere to Food and Drug Administration
requirements.
