MelanSol® 100% Natural Sunscreen is as Green as They Get

Panama City Beach, FL, December 02, 2009 -- When it comes to saving the planet, using a green sunscreen is just as important as an energy saving light bulb or the lowering of your carbon footprint. MelanSol® 100% Natural Sunscreen is as green as you can get. A green sunscreen is one that doesn’t contain chemical active ingredients, synthetic preservatives, colorings, and fragrances. Researchers estimate that 4000 to 6000 metric tons of sunscreen chemicals are being deposited into the world’s oceans annually.

Professional mountaineers have used MelanSol® 100% Natural Sunscreen to prevent skin damage, while helping to preserve the pristine landscape of Mt. Annapurna IV in the Himalayas and the unspoiled topography of the tallest mountain in India. "I love MelanSol® because it works and its all natural," said Hansreudi Wirth, a participant in both expeditions which reached altitudes of over 26,400 ft.

Traditional sunscreens contain chemical active ingredients (several mimic the hormone estrogen) that absorb the sun’s UV radiation. These chemicals have been shown to negatively impact the environment when they wash off of your body. High SPF sunscreens can have concentrations of chemical active ingredients of as much as 39%.

One of the most recent studies to link sunscreen chemicals to adverse reactions in the environment was undertaken by the Polytechnic University of the Marche, Italy. It documents the effects of sunscreen exposure on coral samples from reefs in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. The study concluded that even low levels of sunscreen chemicals, at or below the typical amount used by swimmers, could promote viral infections that can completely bleach coral in just four days.

Eco-parks in Mexico, such as Xel-Ha and Xcaret, have already banned the use of sun-tan lotions and sunscreens with oils and chemical ingredients because, according to their website, they damage marine flora and kill fish.

“Traditional sunscreens containing chemical active ingredients get the most use because they are the most widely available,” said Michael J. Russ, distributor for MelanSol® and founder of PureSunscreen.com. “Most people are completely unaware of the impact sunscreen chemicals have on the environment.”

In addition to being better for the environment, there are additional benefits to using the MelanSol® brand of all natural skin care. According to Peter Zahner, inventor of MelanSol® Skin Care, “Our 100% pure sunscreen won’t burn your eyes, can be used on your lips, and offers parents a high performance chemical free option to protect their children and infants.”

Aside from safely reflecting UV rays, MelanSol® out protects its competitors because of its generous use of potent natural antioxidants. The antioxidants help skin cells prevent free radicals from causing sun damaged skin, like sunburn and skin cancer. The antioxidants in MelanSol® empower it with a dual purpose sunscreen of sorts,” said Russ. “You can use it before to prevent sunburned skin and after sun exposure, in case you miss a spot or want something in your medicine cabinet for sunburn relief, because the potent antioxidants terminate free radicals regardless of when they are applied.” According to Russ, free radical skin protection is the true test of whether a sunscreen can really help prevent sun damaged skin. “I don’t know of any other sunscreen that can perform this way,” Russ said.

MelanSol® can be found in a select number of retail locations around the country and on their official website http://www.PureSunscreen.com.
