100% MINERAL BASED SUN PROTECTION Lavera uses 100% natural mineral pigments to deliver effective UV-A, B and C protection in the SUN product line. Mineral pigments create a physical shield that sits on the surface of the skin to block UV rays and, unlike synthetic sunscreen ingredients, do not accumulate in the body and affect the healthy functioning
of internal organs or the normal balance of reproductive hormones. The current sunscreen line has been reformulated to meet the latest European Union sunscreen regulations, requiring UVA protection be at 1/3rd of the stated SPF, ensuring you have the best protection possible.
Advantages of Mineral Based Sunscreens:
- Safe for the whole family including babies & children age six months and up.
- Mineral pigments protect as they build an almost invisible film on the skin’s surface, reflecting harmful UV-A, B and C rays without the need for chemical filters. Skin is protected against UV damage, sun-induced aging and sunburn.
- Free of oxybenzone and cetyl cinnamates, which mimic effects of estrogen in the body.
- Waterproof formulas protect immediately upon application, unlike synthetic sun-protection with requires a half hour to become effective.
- Ideal for sensitive skin, with sun protection factors from SPF15 (93% protection against UVB) to SPF20 (95% protection).
- Product is completely biodegradable and reef-safe.

Doesn't my current sunscreen protect me against UVA
"I went out for four hours, between 2PM and 6PM and came back with no burns-a better performance than my typical SPF 50 or SPF 70. The Lavera Sunscreen stays on in the water, providing a more effective, long-lasting and waterproof layer of protection-well suited for catching a few waves." - Rich H, surfer & customer
