WHY SUNSCREEN - Section 2 - Healthy And Environmentally Friendly Miami Beach Body Sunscreens

Miami Beach Body is committed to the more fun lifestyle available to humans, to that of our great cities of Miami and Miami Beach, but we do it with a Better Human Health and an Environment Safe conscience. No compromises.

All Natural Nourishing Ingredients

Natural Nourishing Ingredients
  • When manufacturing, there are options, as well as when using products that may directly influence your health
  • We have decided to assure that when you use our products, you fell safe and rest assured that you are putting on your body only the cleanest, most natural ingredients available for each of our products.
  • At the end, they will help you CARE for yourself and your family. We don't want to compromise that objective.

All Mineral Based Sunscreens

All Mineral Based Sunscreens
  • There are two main types of Active Ingredients in sunscreens, Mineral, or Naturals, and Chemicals
  • Physical (Mineral, or Natural) sunscreens act more like a shield, deflecting the sun's rays, while Chemical sunscreens act almost like a sponge, absorbing UV light
  • Physical (Mineral, or Natural) sunscreens sit atop your skin surface, without absorption, ,while Chemical sunscreens act by being absorbed by your skin, and into your body

Broad Spectrum Protection

Broad Spectrum Protection
  • There are two types of UV light that can harm your skin — UVA and UVB 
  • UVA rays can prematurely age your skin, causing wrinkling and age spots. UVB rays can burn your skin
  • Miami Beach Body will always manufacture broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect you from both types of UV radiation
  • To learn more about the nefarious works of the UV radiation, follow this link: About UV Radiation
Sea Life And Reef Safe
Sea Life And Reef Safe
  • In July of 2018, Hawaii became the first U.S. state to ban the sale of sunscreens containing two common chemicals, oxybenzone and octinoxate, which many researchers worldwide have deemed potentially harmful to aquatic life
  • According to the National Park Service, Mineral sunscreens with “non-nanotized” zinc oxide or titanium dioxide appear to be safer for coral reefs than chemical ones
  • All Miami Beach Body Sun Protection Products are 100% Sea Life and Reef Safe

Water Resistant / Non Water Resistant

Water Resistant / Non Water Resistant
  •  Water-resistant does not mean “waterproof,” which is why waterproof claims are no longer allowed to appear on any sunscreen products per the latest FDA regulations
  • Miami Beach Body Sunscreens are "Water Resistant", or "Not water Resistant", dependent on the function for which they are intended
  • Non-Water-Resistant products are mainly intended for daily use with full clothes, while using make up, or any other condition that requires easy cleaning or brush off of the sunscreen
  • All our Water Resistant Sunscreens comply with 80 minutes water resistance tests and are clearly stated in the product labels.

Totally Clean Label

Totally Clean Label
  •  Miami Beach Body manufactures The Sun Protection product using as few ingredients as possible, and making sure those ingredients are items that consumers recognize and think of as wholesome, Non irritant, that they might use at home, with easy-to-recognize names. No artificial , highly processed ingredients, or synthetic chemicals 
Kids Safe
Kids Safe
  • When we care of our little ones, Dermatologists advise sticking to mineral (also known as physical) sunscreen formulas, rather than chemical ones
  • They also direct us to stay away from spray products that may go into our lungs or the lugs of people around us
  • These are the only  types of sunscreens that Miami Beach Body designs and markets for the safety of all our kids

To Be Used For The Whole Family

To Be Used By All Family
  • All Miami Beach Body's sunscreens are perfectly interchangeable from men to women, to children, to persons with skin conditions, to daily use, to sun, to sports, to water, to snow, and more
  • With only five products for which to select from where any of the five can be used by any member of the family independently of their gender or age, or conditions, we have you all easily covered
Cruelty Free
Cruelty Free
  • Miami Beach Body sunscreen products are truly cruelty-free. We don't test finished products or ingredients on animals, and neither our suppliers or any third-party associated or authorized by us.
  • An exception: From time to time they may be tested by the owner :)

Paraben Free

Paraben Free
  • Parabens are used by some cosmetic manufacturers as preservatives to make their products last longer
  • Parabens can act like the hormone estrogen in the body and disrupt male and female reproductive system functioning, reproductive development, fertility and birth outcomes. Parabens can also interfere with the production of hormones
  • Parabens can elevate cellular level damage caused by UV exposure, which may even cause skin cancer. They can also sensitize the skin, causing allergic reactions
  • Miami Beach Body is 100% Paraben Free 

Oxybenzone Free

Oxybenzone Free
  • Oxybenzone is one of the common active ingredients in sunscreens that are sold in the US. The FDA says it is safe. But some environmental and health groups single out oxybenzone as potentially unsafe for some people and the environment. This is because some studies have shown oxybenzone can cause skin allergies and can interfere with how some hormones work
  • Other evidence suggests that oxybenzone may be hazardous to coral reefs
  • As a result, Hawaii is banning the sale of sunscreen products that contain oxybenzone beginning in 2021

Fragrance Free

Fragrance Free
  • Some products are formulated with fragrance for sensorial reasons while others for therapeutic purposes
  • For some people, fragrance can be an irritant leading to redness, itchy skin and sometimes hives
  • Not all fragrances cause irritation to the same degree. Dry skin is definitely more susceptible to reactions
  • Fortunately, there are many fragrance-free products on the market, and at Miami Beach Body, we decide to be one of them.
  • Independently of if your skin is sensitive, dry, doesn’t mesh well with fragrance, or will support it without any issue, in order to follow our Sun Care Made Easy philosophy, we don't include fragrance in any of our sunscreens products.

Safe For Skin Medical Conditions
Safe For Skin Medical Conditions
  •  Sunscreens not only prevent the development of skin conditions: Regular daily use of at least SPF 30 sunscreen can reduce your risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) by almost 40% and lower your melanoma risk by 50%; help prevent premature skin aging caused by the sun, including wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots
  • Miami Beach Body Sunscreens can also be used safely on skins that already have developed some types of conditions like:
  • Eczema: The National Eczema Association recommends using Mineral Based Sunscreens that are SPF 30 or higher
  • Rosacea: The National Rosacea Society recommends  to look for non-chemical sunscreens that contain zinc or titanium dioxide and deliver UVA/UVB protection with an SPF of 15 or higher. A formula designed for sensitive skin, such as a convenient mineral formulation, can help reduce the possibility of irritation
  • Acne:  When exposed to infrared heat from the sun, acne flares up even more. The heat is damaging and can irritate your skin. What about that longtime myth you’ve heard about letting your acne dry up in the sun? Entirely false, as well as the myth that Sunscreens cause acne. Having Acne is one of the more pressing causes to use a non-irritating, Natural SPF formula from Miami Beach Body line
