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...
...to find natural ingredients that are also effective.
