Active Ingredients
Composed of a multitude of ingredients to protect against the sun and its harmful effects, Total Block’s Formulas utilize multiple sizes of highly reflective micronized particles of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and iron oide. These particles, when combined with our unique trace elements form a barrier against the entire UV spectrum, specifically UVB and UVA.
UVA radiation, (unlike UVB) is consistently the same all day, all month, and all year long. UVA rays present the same damaging effects to the skin in mid-December at 9AM, as in mid-July at 3PM. Deeply penetrating UVA radiation enters deeper into the skin than UVB, and is significantly more damaging. This is specifically why daily, year round complete sun protection is essential.
SPF, Just Not Enough.
The SPF rating system does not address a sunscreens protective capabilities from harmful UVA radiation. SPF is only a determination of protection from one specific wavelength of Ultraviolet radiation, the UVB (290 nm – 320 nm). UVB creates a red, painful irritation first experienced during early sun exposure, but UVB is not the only ultraviolet wavelength damaging to the skin. UVA (320 nm-400 nm) is the deeper penetrating wavelength more often associated with skin changes of wrinkling, pigmentation, and long term damage. UVB and UVA radiation are both recognized as causing skin cancer.
Fallene, Ltd. Produces the most complete full spectrum sun protection available. Clear SPF 65, Tinted SPF 60, COTZ™ SPF 58, and LipCOTZ™ SPF 45 combine multiple particle sizes of micronized titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide to form a complete barrier from the light spectrum, including UVA/UVB.
These products are used not only by medically photo-sensitive individuals, but by those who are concerned about maintaining their skin's healthy appearance and promoting the integrity of their immune system.
