Only until the end of May 2009: Fun in the Sun with Dr.Hauschka Sun Care
Date: Monday, 20 April 2009
Many of you know and love them the natural Dr.Hauschka Sun Care products with mineral sun protection. However, due to various developments (see below), Dr.Hauschka Sun Care products will no longer be available from June of this year. Until then you can still stock up on these popular sun care products.
Dr.Hauschka Sun Care - while stocks last!
The Dr.Hauschka Sun Care products offer your skin intensive protection and valuable skin care at the same time. The mineral sunscreen with no chemical sun filters provides immediate protection. Mineral pigments cover the skin with an invisible protective shield and deflect harmful UVA and UVB rays. The holistic formulas composed of nourishing plant oils, plant essences and natural essential oils care for and stabilise sun-stressed skin.
The following Dr.Hauschka sunscreen products are available only until the end of May (as long as stocks last).
- Sunscreen Stick SPF 30: intense protection for delicate areas of skin
- Sunscreen Cream SPF 20: ideal sun protection for the whole family
- Sunscreen Spray SPF 15: rapidly absorbed spray-on lotion for old and young
- Sunscreen Lotion SPF 15: offers medium sun care protection
- Sunscreen Cream Children SPF 30: offers high levels of protection
Reasons for stopping production of Sun Care products
In developing sun care products Dr.Hauschka decided to go for the mineral-based sunscreen option because mineral sunscreens work on the surface of the skin and are extremely well tolerated.
The Dr.Hauschka Sun Care products use the so-called Australian Standard to measure their UVA protection performance. This guarantees that a minimum of 90 percent of all UVA rays striking the skin are filtered. Until the new EU recommendation this was the most common method of measuring the UVA protection offered by sun care products world wide. Now the EU Commission on Standards has issued a recommendation which all sun protection products are supposed to meet by the summer of 2009. This requires that sun protection products in the EU must offer uniform minimum protection against UVA radiation and have a ratio of at least 1:3 UVA to UVB protection.
When chemical sun protection factors are used it is not difficult to achieve the required 1:3 ratio. For Dr.Hauschka however, using chemical sun protection factors is out of the question. For this reason Dr.Hauschka sunscreen products will no longer be available from June 2009. We are very pleased to be able to say that Dr.Hauschka After Sun Lotion, will continue to be available.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
