Vår solbeskyttelse filosofi er basert på: RAD
REFLECT Reflekterer de skadelige UV strålene vekk fra huden
ABSORB Nøytraliserer UV strålene som trenger inn i huden
DEFEND Beskytter mot frie radikaler som dannes i huden
WHAT IS IT AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
You can’t hide from the sun, but you can reduce its effects on the skin. Environ’s Even More Sun
Care+ Range is a highly specialised Range of products containing an effective combination of
sunscreens and powerful antioxidants that work together to safely and effectively protect the skin.
Environ’s sunscreen philosophy is based on: RAD
REFLECT: the harmful UV rays away from the skin
ABSORB: and neutralise the UV rays that do manage to enter the skin
DEFEND: against the effects of harmful free radicals that are formed in the skin
GENERAL SUNSCREEN INFORMATION
INORGANIC (PHYSICAL) SUNSCREENS
Environ believes in using higher doses of effective physical reective sunscreens.
Titanium Dioxide mineral is an example of a physical sunscreen that
has a high refractive index; reecting and scattering light, preventing it
from reaching the skin and causing damage.
ORGANIC (CHEMICAL) SUNSCREENS
Environ believes in using lower doses of absorbent chemical sunscreens.
Organic sunscreens on the other hand work by absorbing UV light before causing damage.
ANTIOXIDANTS AS SUNSCREENS:
Environ believes in using high doses of protective antioxidants.
Antioxidants are effective in preventing free-radical damage due to daily environmental stress and
UV exposure. They are effective in neutralising the free-radical chain reactions and slowing down
free radical activity before damage is done to the skin.
Various antioxidants are required for different metabolic systems. The best protection comes from
having as many different free radical scavengers as possible. The combination of Vitamin C,
Vitamin E and Beta-Carotene is known as Environ’s free radical scavenging system, protecting both
the water-based and oil-based phases of the skin.
WHAT THE SKIN NEEDS PROTECTION AGAINST?
BROAD SPECTRUM
Broad spectrum is a term that refers to a sunscreen’s ability to protect the skin from both UVA and
UVB rays. UV radiation has broad spectrum, ranging from 40 to 400nm which is divided into
Vacuum UV (40–190nm), Far UV (190–220nm), UVC (220–290nm), UVB (290–320), and UVA
(320–400nm), of which the latter two are important.
There are two distinct subtypes of UVA radiation. Short-wave UVA (320–340nm) and long-wave
UVA (340–400nm), the latter constituting most of UVA radiation. The amount of exposure to UVA
usually remains constant, whereas UVB exposure occurs more in the summer. The effects of UVA
exposure usually manifest after a long duration of exposure, even if doses are low. UVA radiation
damages skin by penetrating into the deeper layers of skin, producing reactive
oxygen resulting in acute and chronic changes.
Only products that meet the regulatory standard for effective protection against
UVA will carry the UVA seal.
UVB radiation can also cause acute changes, such as pigmentation and sunburn, and chronic
changes, such as immune-suppression and photo carcinogenesis.
Both UVA and UVB radiation can cause sunburn, photoaging, erythema and inammation.
UVB protection is measured by a product's SPF rating only. SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor.
The number tells you how long the sun’s UVB rays will take to redden your skin if you apply the
sunscreen exactly as directed compared with the same amount of time without sunscreen.
WHO SHOULD USE IT?
The products are suitable for everyone over 6 months of age, for use on skin of all ages and for all
skin types and conditions.
RAD SHIELD Mineral Sunscreen may be preferred by consumers who enjoy a transparent,
mineral-based product with a light-weight, less oily texture.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
• Titanium Dioxide: Is an inert mineral used as a sunscreen ingredient in cosmetics. It is
scientically proven to protect the skin from UVA and UVB radiation. Because its gentle,
titanium dioxide is a great sunscreen active for sensitive, redness-prone skin. It’s great for use
around the eyes, as it is highly unlikely to cause stinging. Titanium dioxide is typically micronised
(nano) and coated for use in cosmetics products. The micronising makes this somewhat
heavy-feeling ingredient easier to spread on skin, plus a bit more cosmetically elegant.
Micronised titanium dioxide is photostable and can provide better sun protection than
non-micronised titanium dioxide.

• Zinc Oxide: Minerals like zinc oxide are frequently used as an inorganic physical sun blocker.
They are preferred above organic compounds that solely absorb UV radiation. Advantages
offered by sunscreens based on inorganic compounds comprise absence of skin irritation and
sensitisation, inertness of the ingredients, limited skin penetration, and a broad-spectrum
protection. The natural opaqueness of these micro sized sunscreen components is eliminated
without reducing their UV blocking efcacy by utilising nanosized ZnO particles. As micro sized
Titanium Dioxide is the most effective in UVB and micro sized ZnO in the UVA range, the
combination of the two oxides assures the required broad band UV protection.

• Thermus Thermophillus Ferment (Venuceane™) - Infrared radiation (IR) represents more than
50% of solar radiation, it generates a heat increase, penetrates deep into the skin and appears to
have damaging effects on skin physiology. Venuceane™ ghts IR-induced damage, prevents
IR-induced stress, lessens the inammatory conditions, improves hydration and maintains dermal
architecture in order to limit wrinkle formation. In response to heat increase, it offers
proportional detoxifying activities and counteracts ROS production generated by IR.
• Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: This plant lipid, extracted from the Karite tree is used as
an emollient in cosmetics and has smoothing properties for dry skin. Shea butter doesn’t just
have a rich texture; it’s also a rich source of antioxidants.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): In animals, a topical application of tocopherol has been shown to exert
photoprotective effects by reducing the number of sunburnt cells, reducing ultraviolet B
(UVB)-induced damage and inhibiting photo carcinogenesis.

• Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract: Popular vegetable, the tomato is grown
worldwide in temperate regions. Super hydrating food, the tomato has antioxidant effects and
helps prevent the skin from ageing thanks to its composition in carotenoids (lycopene,
ß-carotene) and avanols (quercetin, rutin, kaempferol). It also protects against the sun and
promotes tanning. Rich in vitamins, it nourishes and soothes skin.

SUNSCREEN WARNING:
It is not advisable to stay in the sun for too long, even whilst using a sunscreen. Too much sun
exposure causes skin damage. Reducing the quantity of sunscreen applied will lower your
protection significantly. Keep babies and children out of direct sunlight at all times.
WARNING:
If any irritation is experienced, discontinue use. Consult a skin care professional and/or physician,
if the irritation persists. Avoid contact with the eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse carefully
with tepid water. Avoid if any know allergies to the ingredients exist.

ENVIRON
Skin EssentiA er en serie som utgjør et komplett hudpleieprogram for alle. Serien baserer seg på den essensielle vitaminen A og dens særdeles viktige rolle i huden og i alle hudens celler. Vitamin A virker forebyggende i forhold til en rekke hudsykdommer. Serien er vitenskapelig utviklet og perfeksjonert for å tilføre huden terapeutiske konsentrasjoner av vitamin A, C og E, samt antioksidanter og peptider.
Serien er bygget opp i et ”step-up” system slik at huden får en sunn tilvenning av optimale doser vitamin A for best resultat. Forskning dokumenterer at vitamin A beskytter, styrker og forbedrer hudens egen evne til å motstå solskader, aldring og hudkreft. Vitamin A reparerer celleskader, regulerer talgbalansen, reduserer solskader som linjer og pigmentering, øker produksjon av kollagen og elastin, normaliserer fuktbalansen og øker barrierefunksjonen samt hudens immunforsvar.
