Now you can offer your clients an effective new way to protect their scalp and
hair part against premature aging and sun damage, without ruining their
hairstyles. Damaging sun exposure adds up day after day. It happens whenever you
are outdoors, not just on a day at the beach. Shielding vulnerable and often
overlooked areas of the body such as the top and back of the head is vital for
protection against dangerous sun exposure. According to the American Academy of
Dermatology; more than 3.5 million skin cancers in more than two million people
are diagnosed annually. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their
lifetime and Melanoma incidence rates have been increasing for 30 years. Wearing
a broad-spectrum UV blocking sunscreen is vital to protect against skin aging
and the increased risk of skin cancer.
The Hair Loss Control Clinic — HLCC, is now offering a new broad spectrum SPF
46 sunscreen developed just for the delicate skin of the scalp. The new Scalp
Saver sunscreen is a micro zinc-based formulation that is sprayed directly onto
the scalp or hair part. The innovative sunscreen sprays on white to ensure
complete coverage before it dries clear for invisible protection. Male clients
who are balding will benefit from sun protection they will receive without
having to wear a hat, especially during sports activities. Scalp Saver allows
men with thinning hair to protect their scalp without a greasy feel. Female
clients will welcome the protection for their hair part, especially ones with
hair thinning in the part area. All clients will appreciate not messing up their
hairstyles like the standard sunscreens do!
The U.S. FDA has recently released new rules for sunscreens, including that the
claim “broad spectrum” will appear only on sunscreens tested for a minimum
standard of UVA protection, in addition to the UVB protection standards already
in place. Only sunscreens providing broad spectrum protection can now claim
protection against skin cancer and early skin aging. Scalp Saver sunscreen will
be one of the first professional products on the market to be legally able to
claim protection against skin cancer and skin aging if used as directed.
Recently, the Environmental Working Group released a comprehensive scientific
analysis of the safety and effectiveness of more than 700 name brand sunscreens.
The analysis found that 84% of 785 sunscreen products with an SFP of 15 or more
do not offer adequate protection or contain harmful chemical ingredients.
Scalp Saver contains transparent micro zinc oxide and octinoxate; two of the
most powerful barriers for protection from the sun. Zinc oxide is the top rated
sunscreen ingredient that offers the biggest spectrum of any protective
ingredient, providing a physical barrier to harmful rays. Scalp Saver offers a
high SPF sun protection factor of 46. Scalp Saver is dermatologist tested and
cruelty-free, with a noncomedogenic formula that can be used on sensitive skin.
It is free of fragrance, parabens, colorants or sulfates. Scalp Saver reduces
the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging if used as directed with other sun
protection measures. The formula is very water and sweat resistant. It forms a
protection barrier, staying on during intense physical activity in and out of
the water. Scalp Saver won’t run or drip into eyes and is perfect for kids. Kids
love to watch it spray on white and then magically turn clear to protect them
invisibly!
Physicians usually recommend using a UV blocking sunscreen with zinc oxide and a
sun protection factor of at least 30 or more. Use enough for full daily coverage
while reapplying every two hours. Sunscreen should be used in all types of
weather, not just on sunny days. UV rays penetrate even on hazy or overcast days
as well as in all seasons. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, UVA rays are
responsible for skin aging and account for 95% of our sun exposure, also
contributing to skin cancer. UVA rays penetrate deeply into the skin layers,
damaging collagen and cells which leads to wrinkling, hyperpigmentation and the
loss of elasticity. UVB rays, responsible for burning, mostly affect the outer
layer of the skin. They cause sunburns and tanning that will increase the risk
of skin cancer and other disorders. The risk of skin cancer doubles in people
who have had five or more sunburns.
