Sunscreen and Hormonal Balance: What Every Woman Needs to Know

Are you looking for a safe sunscreen that protects your skin without disrupting your hormones? Many women are unaware of the impact that certain ingredients in sunscreens can have on their hormonal health. In this blog post, we discuss which substances you should avoid and what alternatives there are for healthy skin and hormonal balance.

The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Sunscreens

Many common sunscreens contain chemical UV filters such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate and octocrylene. These substances are effective in protecting against UV radiation, but research has shown that they can function as hormone disruptors. They can mimic or block the natural action of estrogen and progesterone, which can lead to hormonal imbalance. In women with conditions such as PMS, PCOS or endometriosis, these substances can worsen symptoms.

Natural alternatives: protect your skin and hormones

Fortunately, there are safe and effective alternatives available. Sunveda sunscreens are an example of a sunscreen that uses modern, photostable UV filters such as Tinosorb A2B and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate. These filters are barely absorbed by the skin and have no known hormone disrupting effects. In addition, this cream contains plant oils and extracts such as sesame oil, chamomile and calendula, which care for the skin and may have a supporting effect on hormonal balance.

Why choose hormonal safety?

If you are consciously working on your hormonal health, it is important to choose products that support this balance. Daily use of products with hormone disruptors can contribute to complaints such as mood swings, fatigue and menstrual problems in the long term. By choosing products without these substances, such as Sunveda's Hydrasun Milk SPF50+, you are taking a proactive step in supporting your hormonal well-being.

Conclusion

Protecting your skin from the sun is essential, but it is equally important to pay attention to the ingredients in your sunscreen. Choose products that are both effective in sun protection and gentle on your hormonal health. Sunveda offers a safe and natural option for women who want to be conscious about their skin and hormonal care.
