Impeccable Skin is a multi-tasking, good-for-your-skin foundation. It’s perfect for daily wear as it boasts an impressive SPF 30 (most max out at SPF 20).

Impeccable Skin is a unique one step product that delivers all of the following:

Excellent broad spectrum sun protection

Suntegrity’s active ingredient is uncoated, non-nano zinc oxide which is therapeutic to skin. Uncoated zinc oxide is the main ingredient found in diaper rash creams, calamine lotion, and rosacea, melasma, and acne treatments. In addition to sun protection, zinc oxide calms skin and reduces redness.

Why Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Is Safe

Impeccable skin contains a high amount the safest type of UV protection: 15% non-nano zinc oxide. Most brands use chemical UV filters because they go on clear and are cheaper. The two types of physical filters are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. While titanium dioxide is not toxic, I prefer pure zinc oxide for two reasons:

Zinc oxide provides better UV protection than titanium dioxide.
Titanium dioxide creates more free radicals which contribute to aging.

The debate continues on whether or not nano particles are absorbed into the skin and pose risks. To ere on the side of caution, Suntegrity only uses non-nano zinc oxide.

Suntegrity contains no chemical filters which generate free radicals, cause skin allergies, and mimic hormones, impacting the endocrine system. Look out for the following chemical filters in sunscreen:

Oxybenzone – endocrine disruption, and photoallergic reactions (immune system response when exposed to UV light). Absorbs through the skin in large amounts.
Octinoxate – endocrine disruption
Homosalate – organ system toxicity and potentially hormone disruption

Because many sunscreens contain penetration enhancers, chemicals in the sunscreen are absorbed into the body and can be found in urine, breast milk, and blood.

Additionally, Suntegrity is free of the following toxic ingredients:

Parabens - antimicrobial preservatives that are immune and skin toxicants, mimic estrogen and disrupt the endocrine system, are toxic to the developmental and reproductive systems, interfere with gene expression, and are associated with cancer.[1]
Synthetic Dyes - Mineral iron oxides are used instead of synthetic dyes to provide tint.
Fragrance - mix of fragrance and chemicals associated with allergies, dermatitis, respiratory distress and potential effects on the reproductive system. Can contain unnamed toxic ingredients like phthalates which are associated with developmental and reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption, and cancer.[2][3][4][5]
PEGs (polyethylene glycols) – thickening agents and humectants that help retain moisture and enhance penetration of ingredients. PEGs can be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide which are associated with reproductive, developmental, and endocrine effects, cancer, and DNA damage.[6]
