Aquea SPF™ Overview

UV radiation. You read about it all the time. It's been the subject of countless TV broadcasts. The UV Index is now a part of every weather forecast. Why? Because the dangers of UV rays range from aging to melanomas. And we now are realizing that daily protection of even a low level sunscreen is at least as important as regular application of a sunscreen at the beach or pool. The problem is that we don’t apply sunscreen every day for various reasons, not the least of which is that it requires extra effort, an extra step that we don’t have time for in our busy lives.

To solve this problem, we created Aquea SPF, a unique ingredient covered by six patents, made possible by the Aquea Delivery System™. The result of almost twenty years of specialized research, Aquea SPF is the first fully functional, clinically proven, safety tested Wash On™ UVA and UVB sunscreen ingredient that can be added to soaps, facial washes, body washes, shower gels and shampoos.

Organic sunscreens are (by their nature) greasy and tacky and cosmetically inelegant. Because the Aquea Delivery System  encapsulates the material and creates a microemulsion, it eliminates the greasy and tacky feel, producing a cosmetically elegant product. In fact, it changes the non-aesthetic aspect of sunscreens into a real benefit. There is nothing else like Aquea SPF in the marketplace. Because it is water based, that feeling of fresh-washed cleanliness is enhanced. Because of its unique application, there is an added moisturizing benefit, as well.

What does Aquea SPF mean to the consumer? Imagine taking a shower and being automatically protected by your Body Wash over every part of your body. Imagine shampooing and having your scalp shielded from the harmful rays (hair does not block UV). Imagine merely washing your face and having it protected throughout the day.

Aquea SPF is not meant to replace the high SPF sunscreens you use when exposed to intensive sun. But Aquea SPF does help protect against both UVA rays (associated with wrinkles and aging) and UVB rays (associated with sunburns). When used as an ingredient in any Wash-On product, Aquea SPF affords enough sun protection for everyday use by leaving a virtually undetectable shield on the skin. And it’s a long-lasting shield thanks to the multi-patented and totally unique Aquea Delivery System.
