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 pHilter 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 pHilter Products is currently only available
in SPF 30+ formulation.
In addition to being naturally derived, the Young pHorever Sun
pHilter product has been tested and proven to have a sensitivity
rating of zero which makes it ideal for all skin types.
Young pHorever Sun pHilter is cruelty free and stringently adheres
to Food and Drug Administration requirements.
