The body synthesizes vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Generally it is the forearms and hands that “catch” the rays best. If vitamin D is so important for the body, this is because it strengthens the immune system and limits inflammation. The concern is that it is quite rare to find it in the diet and that the body needs a certain dose to be able to meet all its needs. Then comes a big problem: some dermatologists have believed that sunscreen may act as a blocker of vitamin D synthesis.
You should know thatSPF15 blocks 93% of vitamin D productionsecond one study of the University of Valencia. However, other studies, such as the one published in British Journal of Dermatologyand initiated by Professor Antony Young, of King’s College London say that the sunscreen phase should by no means be shelved, even if exposure only lasts 10-15 minutes.
“Sunlight is the main source of vitamin D. Sunscreens can prevent sunburn and skin cancer, but the effects of sunscreens on vitamin D have generated a lot of uncertainty. Our study, during a week of perfect weather in Tenerife [en Espagne, ndlr]demonstrated that sunscreens, even when used optimally to prevent sunburn, allowed for excellent vitamin D synthesis.
If most sunscreens still block part of the synthesis of vitamin D, some, designed to counteract this phenomenon, have been specially designed to enhance its absorption. This is the case with Kerbi sunscreen…
A sunscreen that stimulates vitamin D receptors
If Kerbi sunscreen is different, it is because it is rich in an active ingredient rare in the field of sunscreen: grape extracts from white wine lees. A special feature, which allows it to stimulate vitamin D receptors (present on the surface of the epidermis) protecting the skin from UVA and UVB rays thanks to a formula containing a natural mineral sunscreen SPF 50+. Without white effect and above all non-toxic for telephone and marine flora, its composition is really excellent. And, the icing on the cake, it would even prolong the tan by a few weeks, thanks to the presence of algae. Flawless!
