Sun Protection Factor (SPF) Lotions
The Aloe Up Sun Protection products contain a minimum 25% Natural organic Aloe Vera.

These formula's are not greasy and do not clog pores (NON-COMEDOGENIC) Apply 20 minutes before exposure to the elements on dry skin for long lasting protection.

The British Medical Journal recently showed that sunbathers using some suntan lotions have a higher risk of developing malignant Skin Cancer, and a possible link with Oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is the Chemical used in many sun products with high Sun Protection Factors.
What is Oxybenzone?
Oxybenzone’s function is to ‘filter’ ultra violet light on the surface of the skin, converting it from light to heat, but it can also be absorbed through the skin. As yet we have not seen any research to indicate what happens when the oxybenzone is absorbed through the skin, but UV light causing cell damage is well known and readers may choose to avoid this form of sun protection. If light is converted to heat in the basal layers of the skin, damage to growing cells is very likely.
