OCEAN RESPECT

Beauty should be responsible. The ‘CleanBeauty’ trend promotes the use of products that protect the environment and avoid controversial ingredients; more effective, safer and more respectful products. This is a common concern amongst consumers, formulators and raw material manufacturers for the cosmetics industry.

Oceans make up about two-thirds of our planet, yet we often forget how the ingredients we use in our sun protection products affect the marine ecosystem.

The new TIMEXPERT SUN sun protection products look after our seas and oceans:

– High percentage of biodegradable ingredients.
– Free of silicones, which are substances that accumulate in the sea, and therefore reducing them is key.
– By including natural ingredients that have an SPF boosting action we’ve been able to reduce the number of filters used in the formulas as much as possible to limit any possible environmental impact, without weakening the protection offered.
– Physical nano filters (TiO 2 and ZnO have been replaced by non nano TiO 2
– Free from oxybenzone and octyl methoxycinnamate the two filters banned by Hawaii’s precedent setting law due to their potential contribution to coral bleaching and destroying underwater life
– Water-resistant formulas to prevent the products’ ingredients from passing from the skin to the sea
