In the battle against the burn, performance matters; and the best offense is a strong defense. Rather than absorbing into our bodies, Tikkun Ultra Shield sunscreen bonds with the top layer of skin forming a protective layer to reject harmful UV from the sun while letting in the pure Vitamin D. Tikkun is formed from large molecules that will never penetrate below the top layer of skin, eliminating the risk of entering your bloodstream. Most importantly, by bonding with our skin, Tikkun will protect you all-day long without the need to reapply.
Tikkun sunscreen contains blocking agents from four different spectrums of light, destroying both harmful UVA and UVB rays. With our SPF 20 for instance, you are covered against 70% of UVA – the rays that cause cancer, wrinkles and premature aging – and 92% protection against UVB – the rays that cause the burn. Unlike most in the sunscreen industry, we’re not afraid to print our absorption spectrum, because it rocks… and that’s just our SPF 20.
We could tell you that our sunscreen is "All Natural," but if you look at our ingredients you might have some questions. That’s because our whole world can be dissected into chemical compounds… you’d probably flip if you ever saw our chemists breakdown an orange! What we will say is that our product is non-toxic, non-comedogenic and even beneficial for your skin. Tikkun dries softly making it perfect to wear under cosmetics; and with no greasy residue, it’s ideal for quick applications before swinging a golf club.
Speaking of healthy skin, now is probably when we should warn you about the other stuff in our sunscreen; things like Aloe and Vitamin E. You can thank us later for that. Tikkun Ultra Shield sunscreen is hypoallergenic, and free of perfumes and parabens. It’s here for one purpose – to protect, repair and strengthen your body’s coat of armor.

Fix what you broke; repair what you damaged; leave each place better than you found it – but do these things to make the world a better place for us all, not just for your own gratification. If each of us were to hold this mantra as sacred, imagine the clean and peaceful world that would surround us. This is the ancient ideal known as Tikkun olam, and the driving force behind The Tikkun Revolution.
Repairing the world is not a task that happens overnight, and we all must play our part. Since this undertaking begins with each of us on a basic human level, what better place to start than with our own bodies. The sun is an essential part to our day, and surprisingly enough, it is essential to our body’s vitamin production. Like any tricky mistress, however, the sun can wreak havoc on us – inside and out – when consumed in large doses. Prolonged exposure to UVA and UVB rays can lead to both acute and chronic ailments of the skin, eyes and immune system; most commonly we run the risk of skin cancer, specifically Melanoma.
To do the good work that this world requires, we cannot fear a life in the sun; we just need to protect ourselves and the ones we love. By taking less than ten minutes each day to coat our most vital organ with sunscreen, we can all take major steps in battling the burn.
