Be Young Sunset
100% Natural Sunscreen
Do you and your family use sunscreen? Please read this before stocking up this summer!
Have you been told to stay out of the sun because it will damage your skin, cause cancer and ultimately kill you? Health care providers, beauty experts and even well meaning friends may advocate this but there is little scientific evidence to justify the many campaigns urging you to completely avoid the sun. Numerous studies show that the sun is not deadly. In fact, it is healthy for you. Of course, even too much of a good thing can be harmful.
For instance, long-term, excessive exposure to sunlight can increase the risk of certain types of skin cancer. However, there's a good deal of evidence that sun exposure without sunburn significantly decreases the risk of melanoma (a more deadly form of skin cancer), but the key is safe sun exposure.
What are the risk factors of the sun’s UVA and UVB (ultraviolet) rays? The UVA rays are the harmful ones because they penetrate your skin more deeply and cause more free radical damage. Not only that, but UVA rays are quite constant during all daylight hours all year long.
By comparison, UVB’s are low in morning and evening and high midday, but these are the good ones that help your skin produce Vitamin D. So, if you're out early in the morning or late in the day, you get lots of UVA (bad) and not much UVB. Not a good way to produce vitamin D. Plus you increase your risk of cancer if that's your only sun intake, and you fail to protect your skin.
What's more, if you think you don’t need to protect yourself on a cloudy day, think again. You may just wind up with sunburn(from the UVA rays) They can break through cloud cover and pollution and do some real damage to your skin.
You may know that wearing a synthetic chemical sunscreen on your uncovered skin blocks your body’s production of vitamin D, but did you know it can interfere with vitamin D production by 97-99.9%! This could have serious consequences since vitamin D is so important for your health and well being.
Experts agree the best way to get your vitamin D is from Sunlight. Why? Because as soon as the sun's ultraviolet rays strike your skin, your body is programmed to do something remarkable! It starts producing its own natural vitamin D, in the most active form of D- calciferol(vitamin D3). This is what your body needs for proper functioning of organs and cells.
Amazingly, our bodies will automatically generate enough vitamin D from natural sunlight with virtually no risk of overdose. They know when to stop producing it before reaching toxic levels. By contrast, elevated vitamin D levels obtained from oral supplements can take 6 months or longer to normalize.
Safe sunlight exposure not only helps your body make vitamin D, it has also been shown to protect against as many as 16 different types of cancer! So, yes, your body does need some safe sun exposure, but how much is safe? Adequate time for most people is about 15 minutes per day. For those with very fair skin, it may be less. You can estimate it by when your skin just starts to turn slightly pink.
If you can't avoid the following three scenarios:
1. You’re forced to be in the sun’s direct rays for longer than is safe…
2. You must go in intense sunlight without the opportunity to gradually build up to it
3. You’re in a situation where blocking the sun with clothing or sun shades is impractical…
...use a sunscreen to help guard against sunburn. But, don't just slap on any of the standard commercial brands you find on store shelves.
Because of corporate greed countless products have been created that are harmful. There are literally hundreds of sunscreens that are toxic because they contain synthetic chemicals that can cause serious health problems and increase your risk of disease. Here's why:
The main chemical used in sunscreens to filter out UVB light is octyl methoxycinnamate(OMC.) OMC it was shown to be particularly toxic when exposed to sunshine. And guess what? OMC is present in 90% of sunscreen brands!
That's not all: A common UVA filter, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, has also demonstrated toxic properties. Furthermore, several studies show that the chemicals commonly used in sunscreens are absorbed through the skin and end up circulating in your blood stream.
There’s more: Potentially harmful chemicals such as dioxybenzone and oxybenzone are some of the most powerful free radical generators known to man! So if your sunscreen contains these, or any of the previously mentioned chemicals, pitch it and switch to a formula that is safe and healthy for your skin.
For moms: You are undoubtedly concerned about your children’s well being and safety. When you lather up your kids with sunscreen thinking you're doing the right thing, you could in fact be doing more harm than good. Check the labels on your sunscreen and do the “pitch and switch.” Fortunately, there's a much better option than chemical-laden commercial sunscreens...
· FREE of chemical fragrances...
· FREE of parabens (harsh chemical preservatives)...
· FREE of toxic synthetic chemicals...
Be Young’s Sunset is 100% natural and safe sunscreen. Each active ingredient in this outstanding product has been carefully chosen to specifically protect and nourish your skin starting with: Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide. These two active ingredients in Sunset are natural minerals that come from clay. They are not harsh, synthetically-produced chemicals you'll often find in popular brands. It may surprise you to find out that zinc oxide has been used all over the world for over 75 years as a safe sunscreen.
Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb ultraviolet light, nature provides us with these two remarkable ingredients that remain on your skin to reflect and scatter the sun’s harmful rays from your body. How do they do this? Quite simply, they form a physical barrier, without irritating or clogging your pores.
Other ingredients: Virgin olive oil, aloe gel, grapeseed oil, colloidal silver, almond oil, avocado oil, and essential oils of grapefruit, lemon, orange, tangerine, spearmint, ylang ylang, geranium, tea tree, lavender.
While many citrus oils can be photo-sensitive, when used in this sunscreen preparation with the combination of the natural protective barrier of the oxide clays, your skin will tan instead of burn.
Bottom line: Be Young Sunset’s perfect blend of ingredients results in a pleasant-smelling sunscreen without any chemical fragrances or other dangerous artificial chemicals. For this reason you can feel great about putting it on your skin, and on your children too.
How to use: Shake well, spray on exposed areas of skin and rub in.
This spray is healthy for the skin and water resistant, however, it is recommended that you reapply frequently, especially after swimming, perspiring or towel-drying.

Be Young Bug Buster
BE YOUNG BUG BUSTER
Every year approximately one-third of the American population uses insect repellents to deter mosquitoes and other pests. Currently, DEET is used in up to 230 different products in concentrations of up to 100%!
Did you know that DEET is a pesticide intended to kill insects? In case that idea by itself isn’t enough to motivate you, read on to discover the health issues it is known to cause. DEET sprays can melt plastic bags and fishing lines. Does that make you wonder what it can do to you?
Prolonged exposure to DEET can impair cell function in parts of your brain -- demonstrated in lab research by death and behavioral changes in rats with frequent or prolonged use. When these rats had their skin treated with the average human dosage equivalent (40 mg/kg body weight) of DEET, they performed far worse than control rats on physical tests requiring muscle control, strength, and coordination. This is consistent with reports of symptoms after military use of DEET in the Persian Gulf War.
Exposure causes neurons to die in several parts of your brain- including areas that control muscle movement, memory, concentration and learning. Rats given small doses of DEET for 60 days had a harder time accomplishing even the easiest tasks, things as simple as walking.
Heavy exposure to DEET and other insecticides can cause eye and skin irritation, memory loss, headaches, weakness, fatigue, muscle/joint pain, nausea, tremors and shortness of breath. Symptoms can appear months or even years after use. It gets worse...
Exposure to DEET combined with other chemicals is more dangerous than DEET alone. Medications can react with DEET and increase your risk of problems. Not only that…
Skin care products you use on a daily basis including deodorants, soaps, make-up and sunscreens containing various synthetic chemicals can also put you at increased risk of chemical contamination when combined with DEET.
Long-term and regular use of DEET can cause brain deficiencies particularly in children, and even more so when combined with other chemicals or medications. Children are more susceptible than adults to subtle brain changes caused by chemicals in their environment. Their skin more readily absorbs these chemicals and there’s greater danger of damaging their still-developing nervous systems.
Never, ever use any DEET-containing product on infants! Or on anyone else that you care about!
Other potential hazards can lurk in commercial bug sprays, such as the chemical permethrin(in the synthetic pyrethroid family), all of which are neurotoxins.
At relatively high doses, its effects are known to include tremors, loss of coordination, elevated body temperature, aggressive behavior, and learning disruption. Even at sub-lethal doses it can cause aggressive behavior, disruption of eating habits, and agitation. Lab results suggest that it is more dangerous for children than adults. The EPA labeled it as a carcinogen because it causes lung tumors.
Permethrin is also toxic to honeybees and other beneficial insects, fish, crayfish, and shrimp. It causes deformities in tadpoles and reduces the number of oxygen-carrying cells in the blood of birds. Unfortunately it's found in streams and rivers throughout the United States.
I'm sure you can agree that using sprays containing permethrin is not only bad for you, but bad for the environment!
Let’s not forget about the S.D. alcohol used as an anti-bacterial agent, denatured by toxic solvents such as acetone, turpentine and benzene which make it poisonous in moderate to large amounts. Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, impaired perception, stupor, coma and even death.
Oh, and what about the “inert” ingredients that are supposedly harmless? Two popular commercial insect repellent brands have high percentages of unspecified inert ingredient. Unfortunately, it's impossible to know for sure what 'inert' includes, since companies choose not disclose it on their labels or to the public. Care to speculate?
Now there's a much better alternative for you and your family ... it doesn't have to be a choice of either bugs or poisons. You can be rid of both with BUG BUSTER from Be Young!
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and AAP (American Association of Pediatricians) have posted cautions about using DEET products on infants and toddlers. This, plus concerns for their pets and the environment, is leading many parents to actively search for more natural products.
Be Young’s Natural BUG BUSTER Spray is an ideal natural flea and tick spray for your pets! Keeping harmful chemicals off pets make sense not only for your pet's sake, but also for your children's (and your own) sake. When your kids pet the dog or cat, the chemicals transfer from pet to child ... and think about how often kids put their hands in their mouths!
Be Young BUG BUSTER is your environmentally responsible way to enjoy the outdoors this summer. It's not toxic to you, your children, your pets, your yard, or your planet! You only have one life and one planet -- yours to protect as well as enjoy.
Ingredients: virgin olive oil, aloe gel, grapeseed oil, colloidal silver, almond oil, avocado oil; Essential oils: lemon, eucalyptus, basil, citronella, grapefruit, tangerine, spearmint, ylang ylang, tea tree, geranium, lavender.
