I cannot make claims about SPF for this product, as it has not been tested. I can, however, provide you with the information about each ingredient (from legitimate sources that have tested these ingredients) and allow you to make an informed decision as to whether this product is right for you. If I provide the education, you take control of your own destiny- instead of relying on Big Cosmo to make these decisions for you. 

 

I do not call this sunscreen and do not claim it to be sunscreen. Please understand, the information I provide you about each ingredient is documented from legitimate Internet sources. Please be responsible and know that you can verify all this information by performing a Google search for each ingredient and then make your own educated decision if this product is right for you.

 

Sun-up is a "protector" because the research indicates each ingredient does provide some sort of skin protection. 

 
I cannot, and do not make claims that this is a sunscreen. I simply compile the ingredient information in one place and ask you to form your own, informed decision of whether this is the correct product for you. In order to make claims of this product being a sunscreen with a specific SPF, I would need to have this product tested, which would be very costly and drive the price up. Also, it would provide little additional information that you can already conclude given the facts I provide you with. Remember, an SPF ABOVE 20 is not needed- as most need to be reapplied frequently to remain effective. Buying a high SPF product because of the number is appealing to your sense of "more is better" and provides you with a false sense of security- not sun protection. 

 

I invite you to use this product alone, or in conjunction with a sunscreen you trust- just be informed and make your decision based on the facts.

The more you educate yourself about natural alternatives to commercial products and the more you experiment with plant based products, the more you trust what nature has to give you. Un-tampered nature. Pure nature. Only nature based.
