Why SANTE Foundation has no SPF


Using a foundation without SPF might sound a bit controversial to you but read on to learn more:
More and more day creams and foundations contain a considerable proportion of synthetic sun protection filters (SPF). These are the same filters used in sun screen products. SANTE does not block skin from light with it’s make up. For the good of your skin!
Against the background of most people’s normal daily reality – a life lived between home and workplace – day creams and make-up with sun protection filters serve no useful purpose. For longer periods in full sun they do not offer enough protection and for normal daylight and a short time they are not necessary.
Light is the elixir of life
Light, as we experience it every day, is an indispensable elixir of life, a vitalising stimulant for body and soul.
Sun protection filter are, at best, protection for targeted use. Used continuously, every day, they disturb the skin’s biological structure. There are many studies which demonstrate the importance of light for the human psyche and physical health.
Sunlight is essential for the formation of vitamin D in our skin, for example. A lack of vitamin D is held by experts to be responsible for many chronic illnesses (cancer, chronic heart diseases) and for depressive mood disorders.
Daylight is a factor in the gradual process of skin aging, as is each day we live. Light, however, is not a major factor in this process.
Use natural sun screen without chemical SPF
If you want to use sun screen I recommend to use a natural one without any chemical filters. Put on a layer of sunscreen and wait a while before you put on your foundation and make up.
