Fallene

Total Block 65

More than 1 million Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer each year, and many more with pre-cancerous conditions. These numbers continue to increase, not only in the United States, but worldwide. Despite the alarming increase in skin cancers, especially in the teen and young adult population, people continue to think that a tan is healthy, while the notion that sunscreen is an occasional summer-only accessory is still prevalent.

When it comes to appearance, wrinkling and thinning of the skin are part of the natural aging process. We know that these effects are partially the result of long-term exposure to sunlight. Cumulative exposure to the sun imparts damage to the epidermis (the outer layer) and the dermis, (the deeper layer where the skin's framework exists).

Fallene's products offer total light spectrum protection, with SPF ratings as high as 65. This distinction is important not only to people with light sensitive medical conditions, but to anyone who wants to keep their immune system healthy and to help prevent skin damage. The Melanoma Letter reports that high SPF products containing UVB absorbers and zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, provide good protection in the 290 to 400 nm range. Total Block® products use benzophenone-3, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, while COTZ™ is a physical sunscreen Containing Only Titanium dioxide and Zinc oxide.

In addition to sunscreen capabilities, Total Block and COTZ lotions contain selected photo protective and cellular protective agents from every category of beneficial substances for the skin. Total Block and COTZ products are unique in their ability to prevent photo and cellular damage to the skin, regardless of the source: airborne pollutants, wind, damaging effects of radiation.
