The sun gives us energy, boosts our mood and helps our bodies produce the vital Vitamin D. But how do you strike the right balance between sun exposure, vitamin intake and caring for your skin? In this article, we take a closer look at the link between Vitamin D and healthy skin – and explain why a natural, physical sunscreen is the best choice, both for your skin and for the environment.
Why Vitamin D is important for your skin
Vitamin D is often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin” because your body can produce it when your skin is exposed to sunlight. Research shows that it plays several important roles – especially when it comes to skin health.
Here are some of the benefits:
✓ Strengthens the skin’s natural defences – Vitamin D is believed to help reduce inflammation, which may ease skin concerns such as acne and eczema.
✓ Promotes cell renewal – It supports the skin’s ability to repair itself, contributing to a more even tone and texture.
✓ Supports the skin barrier – It may help maintain moisture levels in the skin and reduce sensitivity and dryness.
A Vitamin D deficiency can sometimes also show up on your skin – for example, as a lack of radiance, dryness or a slower healing process.
Smart sun, diet and lifestyle habits for healthy skin
We need sunlight – but in moderation. Overexposure to UV radiation can lead to skin damage, including sunburn, hyperpigmentation and premature ageing. To help find a healthy balance:
• Spend shorter periods in the sun, ideally in the morning or late afternoon
• Eat a nutrient-rich diet with Vitamin D-rich foods such as oily fish, leafy greens and fortified dairy products
• Use natural sun protection when spending longer periods outdoors
Natural sun protection – gentle on your skin and the planet
Our physical sunscreens contain no synthetic additives, perfumes, preservatives or nanoparticles.
They are based on natural mineral filters (Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide), which reflect away both UVA and UVB rays. The sunscreen forms an invisible barrier on your skin and provides protection immediately upon application.
Our products are suitable even for sensitive skin and children, are easy to apply and leave no white residue.
Gentle ingredients to protect children’s skin
Children’s skin is thinner and more delicate, making it more vulnerable to external stressors. Our sunscreens are completely free from substances that can irritate the skin or disrupt hormonal balance – while still providing reliable protection during outdoor play and sunny adventures.
