Natural sunscreens and high quality natural ingredients have been around for years. They are not widely used because of the expense compared to traditional chemical products. Prior to EcoLani no totally chemical-free lotions were on the market because there was no way to emulsify the natural ingredients. In fact, most products that claim to be 100% natural still use chemical emulsifiers.
A special machine that has a United States Patent Pending was developed to help mix the fine natural ingredients together in a unique blending process. The machine utilizes four tanks, and forces the ingredients back and forth to allow emulsification. The product can only be made in small batches of 80 gallons at a time, compared to thousands of gallons at large traditional fill plants.

In 2001, a research paper was published that demonstrated many of the chemicals used in sunscreens are estrogenic. These hormone-disrupting agents are known to cause cancer. These chemicals should not be in our bodies or in the waters in which we swim. Do something good for yourself and the environment by investing in EcoLani’s all-natural products and spread the word!
Drug companies would love for us to use SPF 45, good for their business and bad for your health!
Everyone has a different skin type. Your burn protection and safe tan promotion requirements are individual. Use the chart below to help determine which products are best suited to your individual needs.
While prolonged sun exposure is damaging to the skin, light tanning is considered by some experts to be protective. If you are in question as to which SPF to use for protection always use the higher SPF. Remember to apply the sunscreen correctly by laying it on the skin, waiting 20-30 seconds, then stroking it on lightly. Sunscreens should never be rubbed in.
Please follow our guidelines below and take care of your skin. If you are on sand, snow or water you will require higher than normal protection. See our page on sun exposure for more information.

| Recommendations for all skin types |
Use on most sensitive areas, and places with thin skin — close to the bone: face, shoulders, behind knees, shins, top of feet, sternum (women), and anywhere else you know you burn easily. REAPPLY FREQUENTLY! |
Use on most of the body having thicker skin with “meat” between the skin and bone, and wherever you know you have good sun tolerance. REAPPLY SUNSCREENS FREQUENTLY! Use our fine oils sparingly — a little bit goes a long way! |
Use REVIVE Face & Body Lotion daily on body and face to moisturize and replenish the skin. For proper application, “lay” REVIVE Face & Body Lotion liberally on the skin, and gently smooth on skin after 60 seconds. It is important to have our Recovery Gel as part of your skin care system, so you will have it available to apply for any degree of burning. It should always be applied before using our REVIVE Face & Body Lotion after even a light sun burn. Repeat this process before and after any significant sun exposure! |
