Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Many plants have developed their own UVR protection and it is the extracts or oils from these plants that can provide us with natural protection. The SPF ratings for these extracts and oils are not as high as synthetically produced products but they are safe for us and for the environment. There are a number of natural ingredients that offer sun protection. They are: Hemp seed oil - SPF 6 Shea Butter - Cinnaminic Acid - SPF 6 Macadamia oil - SPF 6 Sesame seed oil - SPF 4 Jojoba oil - SPF 4 Coconut oil - SPF 2 Many of these extracts have other benefits besides UVR protection. Because the nutrients in Hemp seed oil so closely resemble our body's natural lipids, it is easily absorbed into our skin. It has natural anti-bacterial qualities and is one of the world's richest sources of essential fatty acids, essential amino acids and other nutrients important for healthy keratin formation. Although these plant extracts do not have high SPF, they do NOT interfere with the absorption of vitamin D like the synthetic chemical sunprotection products. Plant extracts may also assist with cell repair.

Anyone have any idea? I have been attempting to uncover this information now for going on 5 years and still have found absolutely nothing. I know this information exists for I had a lady who was going to email me the info she has from a book she has. Alas I have never heard back from her.So I am tossing it out to you all to see if any of you might have a clue or know someone who does.Please let me know if you find anything and yes, please post it to the group as I believe it is valuable data to have.
