We at Elite MD are dedicated to skin health, wellness, and overall safety. Our commitment is to provide you safe, affective sunscreen options as the first line of defense against skin cancer and photoaging. Our physical sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection and are fortified with a powerful blend of antioxidants that contain no chemical The findings of the study are nothing new and are also clearly stated as non-conclusive absorbers. We strongly encourage physical mineral based blockers containing high zinc oxide for best protection. We always use clean ingredients that are medical grade and manufactured under pharmaceutical standards. Just because something is absorbed, doesn’t mean it’s unsafe (think about some of the the toxic processed foods we eat every day). In addition, the American Academy of Dermatology also made a statement that these ingredients have been used for several decades without any reported internal side effects in humans.
Most importantly everyone remains aligned that skin cancer is a critical health issue with one in five people diagnosed every day. Using sunscreen is the single most important step in prevention.
