Protective Nourishing Lipstick Very High Protection SPF 50+

Broad UV-B and UV-A Protection
Dermatologically tested for sensitive skin

Optimal protection of the lips during all seasons – cold and warm.
The skin of the lips differs from the skin of the face mainly in the following parameters:
1. The Stratum Corneum (the horny layer) of the lips skin is very thin (includes a small number of layers).
2. There are no hair follicles and sebaceous glands on the lips.
3. There are considerably less melanocytes (the cells that synthesize the pigment melanin).
The lips pink shade results from the blood vessels under the skin, which is thin and contains low amount of pigments.
Furthermore, the lips are rich with sensorial receptors and nerves endings, thus, it is a sensitive zone.
All these characteristics make the lips more sensitive to environmental factors such as moisture, temperature, weather conditions and UV irradiation. The lips are also sensitive to irritating materials such as some spices. The lips tends to become dry and chapped.  As the lips are frequently exposed to the sun and contain lower amounts of melanin, UV irradiation damages the lips, causing collagen deterioration, wrinkles, premature aging and sometimes even more severe disorders.

Solar Zone Nourishing Protective Lipstick was specially developed to effectively restore and protect the lips, at any weather condition. It consists of special effective nourishing ingredients:
Oil Calendula: Calendula (MARIGOLD) has been used for centuries as a medicinal herb to treat many skin conditions. Its useful activity is due to the content of active substances, flavonoids and carotenoids that give the oil its golden orange color. These active substances restore, regenerate, sooth and protect the skin. Due to their activity as antioxidants, they also protect the tissue against the damage of free radicals and UV irradiation.
Shea Butter: Shea butter effectively moisturizes the skin due to high content of triglycerides rich in oleic acid. Shea Butter is also rich in linoleic acid (omega 6) which contributes to the proper functioning of the skin barrier that keeps the skin moisture and reduces penetration of harmful substances. In addition, Shea butter contains fractions of bioactive substances (triterpenes) that contribute to the renewal of collagen and reduce its degradation. These substances are active in minimizing aging processes and wrinkles formation in the tissue. They protect the tissue against free radicals, against UV damage and have soothing action.
Vitamin E: Vitamin E has a wide range of beneficial  effects on the skin: it increases the level of moisture in the skin, it stimulates tissue regeneration and soothes the skin. Vitamin E is an effective antioxidant that protects the tissue from the damage of free radicals and UV irradiation. The product contains a high concentration of vitamin E ( 5% tocopheryl acetate) in order to increase the its effectiveness to restore damaged lips.

Due to the above combination of active ingredients, this product protects the lips against dryness, cracks, and other unwanted conditions.
In addition, the product contains a special combination of effective sunscreens that provide very high protection factor of 50+ (according to Israeli and to European Standard, a product must demonstrate a protection factor of at least 60 in order to be marked 50+).
The product also provides high protection in the UV-A range in accordance with the Israeli and European standards.
