What your SPF doesn’t tell you – and why Re-charge sun is so different
Summer is here, the sun is shining – but is your sunscreen shining too? Hopefully not in a bad way. Because what many people don’t know is this: not every UV filter is a ray of sunshine. Some common ingredients in sunscreens are even suspected of being carcinogenic or disrupting our hormones. And while you think you’re protecting your skin, it might secretly be saying: “Thanks, but no thanks.”
The dark side of many sunscreen filters
Oxybenzone (benzophenone-3):
A hormone-active substance suspected not only of increasing the risk of breast cancer but also of harming marine life. It has already been banned in several countries.
Octocrylene:
Can degrade in the bottle and form benzophenone – a substance also considered a possible carcinogen.
Homosalate:
Is absorbed by the body and acts similarly to estrogen – with unintended consequences for the hormonal system.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (OMC):
Also hormonally active – and linked to cellular changes in animal studies.
This isn’t science fiction – it’s the unfortunate reality of many sunscreen products.
Fortunately, there is another way!
While many manufacturers continue to rely on low-cost but controversial filters, there are a few sunscreen products that take a truly modern, skin-friendly, and environmentally conscious approach. One of them is called: Re-charge sun.
Here’s what makes Re-charge sun truly stand out:
1. Advanced UV filters
No questionable classics. Re‑charge sun relies exclusively on the latest clinically tested broad-spectrum filters, including:
• Tinosorb S and Tinosorb A2B
• Uvinul A Plus and Uvinul T150
• BEMT (Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine)
According to scientific studies, these filters are considered stable, photostable, non-hormonal in action – and most importantly: not carcinogenic.
2. Care meets protection
Hyaluronic acid included.
What if your sunscreen felt like a luxury hydrating serum? Re‑charge sun contains high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid in such concentration that it doesn’t just protect your skin – it deeply hydrates, smooths, and soothes it.
3. Repair effect included
With ingredients like aloe vera, panthenol, and antioxidant cell-protection complexes, Re‑charge sun helps your skin recover from UV stress – while you’re still out in the sun.
4. Coral-safe & clean
For you and the environment.
Re‑charge sun is free from microplastics, hormone-disrupting substances, and coral-harming ingredients. Perfect not only for your skin, but also for your next beach getaway.
