Healthy Sunbathing

Healthy sunbathing, with mineral sun filters, - both for us humans and for our nature...

An organic certification is important if you are going for the healthy choice in terms of sun protection. An organic certification does not approve synthetic sunscreens that penetrate our skin and organs, but only the mineral sunscreens that act as a physical filter on the skin.

An organic certification gives you assurance that the products are made from natural ingredients and that they are free from harmful chemicals.

Fortunately, the authorities have been very vocal in the media in 2025 about protecting yourself from UVA & UVB rays. They talk a lot about the fact that Denmark is one of the countries in the world with the highest number of skin cancer cases, relative to the number of inhabitants. We have obviously been cultivating the sun in a completely wrong way, which is of course terrible, we really need to take better care of ourselves and use more UVA and UVB protection.

When we see the increasing number of people being affected by cancer for unexplained reasons, a natural question arises: Could there be a connection to the products we use daily on our skin – the body’s largest organ? This is an area where many are probably wondering whether the authorities are researching it, and whether we can expect to get more knowledge and possible announcements on the subject in the near future, that is, within 5, 10 or 20 years.

Synthetic sunscreens are harmful to both our bodies and our nature. They also pollute our oceans. In the US they are much more adept at reporting that synthetic sunscreens are harmful and that they enter our bodies.

But, we also need the healthy D vitamins from the sun, so it is actually also important that we get some sun, without sun protection and personally I also think that it is nice to have just a little color in the summer months, it just gives a nice healthy radiance and I think it is nice, with a pair of nice brown legs, under my summer dresses. I would therefore suggest that you spend the first half hour on one side of the body in the sun and then turn around and spend half an hour on the other side of the body and then, apply it well and thoroughly, on the whole body, from head to toe. However, I usually always wear UVA & UVB protection on my face, because unfortunately every time you step out the door, you get UVA and UVB rays, regardless of the weather.

All GreenEtiq's Sun products effectively protect against both UVA & UVB rays, they are also gentle to use, so you will probably need less than you usually do. They are all made with mineral sun filters, contain wonderful raw materials such as:

🌱 Aloe Vera

🫘 Almond

🫒 Olive

🪻 Lavender

🌰 Shea Butter

🌿 Glycerin

🌾 Silica

🍅 Pomegranate

🥜 Jojoba

🌿 Eucalyptus

The creams are easy to work with, however I would say that you have to be careful with the amounts, as they are generous in use, due to the fine qualities. If you get white or peel, you have used too much.

The product is truly perfume-free, no synthetic perfume in any of GreenEtiq's products. In our sun products we have added a small hint of natural eucalyptus, which gives a mild and lovely scent to the products. The products are therefore free of perfume claims on the ingredient lists.
