Dr. J's Healthy Rays

Dr. J's Healthy rays is a whole new concept in skin protection.  It strengthens your skin and prevents burning without blocking the beneficial rays from the sun.  It combines Aloe Vera, Vitamin D, and Lavender Oil. All these items work by repairing damage before it can begin.  

99% of the sunscreens on the market contain toxic and/or carcinogenic ingredients.  Healthy Rays has no chemical ingredients, just basic nutrients for your skin in a base of lotion. 

Because Dr. J's Healthy Rays is not a sunscreen, it is recommended that you build up to longer times in the sun, especially those with sensitive or pale skin. Also, re-apply after swimming.

Ingredients:

  • Vitamin D-Emulsified Vitamin D (4400IU per bottle). The healing benefits of topical vitamin D are extensive. Skin application of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) prevented the inflammatory effects of UVB irradiation.

The health benefits of lavender oil for the skin can be attributed to its antiseptic and antifungal properties. Lavender is used to treat various skin disorders such as acne, wrinkles, psoriasis, and other inflammations.

It heals wounds, cuts, burns, and sunburns rapidly as it aids in the formation of scar tissues.

Lavender oil is added to chamomile to treat eczema. Its antimutagenic property makes lavender oil a promising candidate for new applications in human healthcare.

 The Bad News about Sunscreens

Researchers encourage consumers to READ THE LABELS on suncare products. If the product contains any of the following chemical ingredients, use discretion before applying to your skin:

 

  • Benzophenones (dixoybenzone, oxybenzone)
  • PABA and PABA esters (ethyl dihydroxy propyl PAB, glyceryl PABA,
  • p-aminobenzoic acid padimate O or Octyl dimethyl PABA)
  • Cinnamates (cinoxate, ethylhexyl, p-methoxycinnamate)
  • Salicylates (ethylhexyl salicylate, homosalate, octyl salicylate)
  • Avobenzone (butyl-methyoxydibenzoylmethane; Parsol 1789)
  • Digalloyl trioleate
  • Menthyl anthranilate

 

 

Chemical sunscreens contain 2-5% of chemical compounds. Benzophenone, and similar compounds, is one of the most powerful free radical generators known to man. When activated by ultra violet light, it doubles the bond to produce two free radical sights. The free radicals then initiate a chain reaction which can increase skin damage and increase skin cancer.

Worldwide the greatest risk in melanoma has been in countries where sunscreens have been heavily promoted. Queensland, Australia, where the medical establishment has vigorously promoted the use of sunscreens has more evidence of melanoma per capita than any other place (Garland, Cedric F., et al American Journal of Public Health, April 1992). Drs. Cedric and Frank Garland of the University of California have pointed out that while sunscreens do prevent against sunburn there is no scientific proof they protect against basal cell carcinoma in humans.

Octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC), which is present in 90 per cent of sunscreen brands, was found to kill mouse cells even at low doses in a study by Norwegian scientists.
