Total Block SPF 65 is unique in its ability to protect the skin from the full light spectrum and prevent cellular environmental damage to the skin, regardless of the source of these pollutants. Total Block SPF 65 incorporates eight forms of mill-dispersed solids, ranging in controlled particle-size from 10 microns down to a few nanometers. These particles are suspended homogeneously to achieve maximum protection throughout the entire UVB/UVA range. Micro-dispersed particles shield the skin from atmospheric damage and trauma. Eight forms of micronized and sub-micronized particles of titanium dioxide, sub-micronized zinc oxide, along with ultra-micronized iron oxide form the foundation for a wall of reflection and refraction.

Total Block SPF 65 contains:

Three soluble organic non-PABA sunscreen UV absorbers to assure continuous uninterrupted UVB absorption coverage.

Elefac™ I-205, a proven, patented UV protection factor booster, plus two special polymeric materials that enhance both the UV protection factor and strengthen its atmospheric skin-shield effectiveness.

Six antioxidants/trace element additives that both augment the lotion's UV protection activity and reduce acute oxidation damage to the skin cells.

A series of antioxidant free-radical scavengers that provide direct cellular protection via the addition of Tocopherol and Tocopheryl acetate (two forms of Vitamin E), which are recognized antioxidants, and effective topical cellular protectants. Pycnogenol™ (Maritime Pine extract), reported to be one of the most potent free-radical inhibitors, a Vitamin C derivative, and Beta-Carotene, are also solubilized into Total Block lotions.

Selenium protein complex: Topical application of organic selenium complexes have been demonstrated to increase Minimal Erythema Dose response (MED) while reducing acute skin cell damage due to UV exposure.

Ultra-micronized iron oxide (unique to Total Block), which acts as a radiation protectant by absorbing and scattering all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation (UV, visible and infrared).
