About me

Hello, I'm Sue Ingram and I've lived most of my life in Africa. I have a love of the outdoors, and sunshine.

Africa gets a lot of sunshine!

My dual interests in health and the environment led me to research the benefits of natural and organic products and because of my love of the outdoors I focused on sun protection.

Let me tell you what we've been doing for the past 2+ years (I say 'we' as I've been working with 5 independent laboratories, 3 biochemists, 2 photo biologists, and several technical and field researchers)...

This statement encapsulates the principles that have guided my research...

'To produce a sunscreen that provides...

• effective, stable, high level protection against both UVA and UVB light
• protection against free radical damage and atmospheric toxins
• active natural nutrients to reverse the effects of damage and ensure against future damage
• that every ingredient provides a clear and direct benefit and is not merely a 'filler' or included to 'look good' in the ingredients list

Number 2 is a favorite of mine! Here's why...

The cutaneous antioxidant system is complex, interlinked and operates as a network. Because of this, an enhanced photo protective effect can be obtained by applying appropriate combinations of antioxidants. These combinations act synergistically. This has been a prime focus of our research...

The discovery of a unique combination of plant extracts is the key 'hidden secret' to being able to substitute these 'botanicals' for the harmful chemical filters found in almost all sunscreens sold today.
