Outdoor activities such as swimming, skiing, and hiking can cause dry, chapped, and sunburned skin. Unexpected sunburns, scraped knees, bug bites, and dehydrated skin can cause long-term discomfort and even longer-term skin damage. LORENOL® with SULFORAPHANE protects the skin and even reverses UV damage.
Studies Suggest Broccoli (Sulforaphane) Helps Protect against Skin Cancer In July 2013, the University of Arizona reported that preliminary research on glucoraphanin, which is converted to sulforaphane in the body, showed that topical broccoli-based ointments could inhibit the growth of cancer-causing proteins while activating chemoprotective genes. "We already know that it is very effective in blocking sunburns," said lead researcher Sally Dickinson, "and we have seen cases where it can induce protective enzymes in the skin."

Broccoli Extracts (Sulforaphane) Are Absorbed by Skin Cells
Broccoli Extracts DO NOT act as a sunscreen; the extracts build up a matrix of protective enzymes that defend skin cells against damage from UV radiation. Sulforaphane is a chemical substance that is responsible for protection from harmful radiation. Scientific studies have shown that topical broccoli extract is active for three days after being applied, even when it no longer remains on the skin.
It Is Imperative to Restore Hydration Quickly Following a Sunburn
Infused with unique, essential fatty acids, broccoli seed oil is often used in skin care products because it imparts a youthful-looking, radiant glow. These fatty acids provide greaseless hydration and form a protective layer trapping moisture to keep skin hydrated all day.
Emergency Sunburn Relief
1 OZ SOOTHING SILVER CREAM
- Studies have shown if Soothing Silver Cream is applied within 4 hours of first developing a sunburn, it will help stop the stinging and may REVERSE the sunburn, eliminating the pain and itch associated with extremely sunburned skin. Studies have shown that 24 hours after application, the skin shows NO redness or pain often associated with severe sunburns. Note: If applied after 4 hours, it may still be able to stop the progression of the sunburn; however, it may not entirely reverse it. Continued use will help dull the pain and itch and accelerate recovery time.
4 OZ POST TREATMENT BALM
- Infused with natural analgesic, antimicrobial, and anti-itch properties, it's great for chapped skin, scraped knees, and bug bites. Applying the Post-Treatment Balm to affected areas of the skin helps relieve pain, itching, dehydration, redness, and inflammation and accelerates skin recovery.
