**NEW IMPROVED FORMULA!**
We have recently perfected our formula to improve feel and spreadability.
We hope you will like the new Eden even better!

Our sunscreens are formulated with Non-Nano uncoated zinc oxide as the physical barrier against UV rays. Zinc oxide is the same ingredient used in calamine lotions and in baby products. It is a powdered mineral that sits on top of the skin, reflecting and absorbing both UVA and UVB rays.

**Why do we use Non-Nano zinc oxide?**
In 2003, the UK government commissioned the Royal Society and the Royal Academy of Engineering to conduct independent research into developments in nanoscience and nanotechnologies, along with their impacts. Their 2004 report notes,
'If nanoparticles penetrate the skin, they might facilitate the production of reactive molecules that could lead to cell damage...There is insufficient information about whether used in cosmetics (such as zinc oxide) penetrate the skin, and there is a need for more research into this...'
More on nanoparticles from the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Nanotechnology's Invisible Threat, December 2006,
'Once inside the body, nanoparticles seem to have unlimited access to all tissues and organs, including the brain and likely also the fetal circulation, and may cause cell damage that we don't yet understand...Current legislation fails to guarantee consumers that these new technologies are safe to use.'
At Unica, we believe this is a risk not worth taking.

Our Eden organic sunscreens provide "Broad spectrum" protection, meaning that they offer protection from both UVB & UVA rays, without using questionable chemicals. Eden contains three awesome natural ingredients that synergistically enhance sun protection: Kakadu plum extract with an impressive content of Vitamin C and extraordinary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; Japanese Green Tea, another powerful antioxidant known for its anti-irritant properties and for preventing redness, rough skin, and peeling caused by the sun; Carrot seed oil, an antioxidant, antiseptic, antiviral, and with a massive natural SPF of around 35.

Eden organic sunscreen also contains natural and organic plant oils that nourish, soothe, and rejuvenate sun-exposed skin and, like Carrot Seed oil, also provide additional sun protection because of their natural SPF: Almond oil and Jojoba oil (SPF 4-6), Macadamia nut oil (SPF 6), Avocado oil (SPF 4-15), Shea Butter (SPF 6-8), Coconut oil (SPF 4-10). Naturally scented with Lavender essential oil.

**Are Unica organic sunscreens whitening?**
You should expect some whitening with any mineral-based sunscreens, unless they contain nanoparticles.
In addition to using our sunscreens, we always recommend following the basic precautions against the harmful effects of the sun:
- Use an appropriate sunscreen
- Wear appropriate clothes
- Find shelter from the sun
- Be aware of reflected sunlight (from water, snow, sand, etc.)
- Avoid direct sun, particularly during the hottest four hours of the day (11.00 am to 3.00 pm in the UK and 12.00 noon to 4.00 pm on the Continent).
- Reapply sunscreen liberally and often.
