strong sun butter

botanical sun protector, extra strength

this stronger sun protector is designed for the early days of sun exposure, fair or sensitive skin. it holds the same formula as the sun butter but with added zinc oxide.

our bodies & bones need the sun. learning to harmonize our skin with the rays is healthy, intelligent sun exposure. the skin is designed for sunshine — saturated in sun receptors; when the sun seeps deep a waterfall of benefits run from skin to bone. melanin is produced to lubricate the skin, organs, muscles and marrow.  sunlight soothes immunity, respiration, digestion & endocrine pathways. wise sun interaction unlocks the nourishment nature.

the temperature of your environment will affect the butter consistency. a cooler home of 68F/20C will result in a firm butter and a warmer home above 77F/25C will result in a softer gel like consistency.

zinc oxide — zinc oxide is a sun reflector. it is a white, inorganic compounds created from metallic zinc.  i use a non-nanoparticle, uncoated, pharmaceutical-grade zinc oxide as it’s the purest form available. this technology of zinc doesn’t interfere with the health or respiration of the skin. since the molecular size of zinc particles are too big to be absorbed through the skin. instead, it sits on top & absorbs the suns rays, protecting the skin!
