The stable, reliable chemical sun filters

At Rudolph Care, we are proud of the way we have chosen to innovate and compose our sun products. We use five chemical sun filters, all of which meet EU recommendations for optimal UVA and UVB protection and are approved by the environmental certification, the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.

But hey, 'chemical'?

The word 'chemical' can sound negative, but it isn't, if you make an effort and choose the good, safe kind. We have chosen the chemical filters because we believe that good chemistry makes sense to use where it benefits the most – and it does in our sun series. When a sun filter is chemically produced, it means it is controlled. This enables us to have 100% knowledge of the content and effect of the finished product. Another reason why the chemical filters are our favorite is that they do not feel greasy, sticky, or leave a white residue.

Coral friendly sun protection

Not many people think about how the products we apply on a daily basis impact the seas and oceans we swim in all over the world. When you use Rudolph Care sun cream, you can be sure that we have thought about these things for you. All Rudolph Care sun protection products carry the Nordic Swan Ecolabel which ensures that your sun protection does not damage you or the environment around you – including precious coral reefs. The benzophenone-3 and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate sun filters are suspected of being endocrine disruptors – and more recent studies show that these two sun filters change the DNA of corals and cause hormone disruptions which make young corals die. You will never see these two filters used in our products. This means that you can confidently take your Rudolph Care sun cream with you when you travel and swim in the sea without having to worry.

If you should – against the odds – run short of sun cream on your beach holiday and Rudolph Care is not within easy reach, it is important that you investigate whether benzophenone-3 and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate appear among the ingredients of the sun product you use instead – on some products they also appear as oxybenzone and octinoxate.
