Without any protection, the sun will of course damage your skin. Sunscreen is therefore a must if you want to keep your skin healthy .
However, when it comes to sun protection, it's extremely worthwhile to take a look at the ingredients: Many people today consciously want to avoid parabens , and we explain why.
Parabens? Not with newkee!
At newkee, we focus on clean formulas that effectively protect your skin without unnecessary additives like parabens. Our products combine modern UV protection with carefully selected ingredients that respect your skin barrier while offering excellent tolerability.
What are parabens – and why do many people avoid them?
Parabens are preservatives. They prevent germs from forming in your sunscreen. Convenient – but they are suspected of affecting the hormonal balance. That's why many sun worshippers prefer to play it safe and opt for products without parabens.
These are the parabens you should know about.
If you want to avoid parabens, take a look at the INCI list of your sunscreen. They are hidden behind these terms:
-
Methylparaben
-
Ethylparaben
-
Propylparaben
-
Butylparaben
-
Isobutylparaben
Better for you – and for the environment
What you put on your skin often ends up in nature. That's why more and more people are consciously choosing formulations without controversial ingredients. Avoiding harmful substances in sunscreen not only protects you, but also sensitive ecosystems such as threatened coral reefs.
Which sunscreen is the right one?
Whether mineral or chemical filters – what's important is that your sunscreen suits your skin and is free of unnecessary additives. Modern formulations have long been free of parabens and are often suitable for sensitive skin.
Here's what you should pay attention to when buying
-
Check the ingredients carefully
-
Apply the sunscreen generously and reapply regularly.
