As a daily protection, Solar Rx is designed to offer the maximum physical protection from UVA and SPF 30 for UVB burning rays without using a chemical sunscreen. We recommend reapplying at least every two hours* on the face neck and hands. Tropical and intense sun conditions require even more frequent application. UV index ratings of 8 and above for average skin can require application as much as every 15 minutes as tested using a UV meter. This is not a product for sun bathing, extreme hot weather sports or swimming
Solar Rx contains no synthetic ingredients like Retinyl Palmitate that is a chemical Vitmain A. Solar Rx uses simple natural whole ingredients to carry the zinc oxide which provides blocking of UVA, UVB and UVC radiation to prevent skin cancer and premature aging.
Keys Solar Rx is featured on the Environmental Working Group Skin Deep Report as the safest moisturizer with UVA/UVB protection on the market. Key Solar Rx is featured as the most effective non-waterproof category sunblock for UVA and UVB in the Consumer Reports July issue. It is rare to find a product that is both safe to use and effective.
Keys Solar Rx carries a UVB (UV Burning) rating of SPF 30+ and a UVA (UV Aging) of four stars using the EU rating system. It is important to note that 90% of all visible skin aging comes from UVA. Be very careful of sunscreens with high SPF numbers that do not rate their UVA protection. High SPF rated chemical sunscreens will prevent burning, but often do little to provide UVA protection.
Solar Rx combines the healing soothing properties of our Luminos moisturizer and adds a 20% concentration of uncoated nano-zinc oxide to provide a physical UVA & UVB blocking to protect against UV triggered Melanoma and Skin Cancer. Our nano-zinc oxide (ZnO) is uncoated to provide healing therapies associated with zinc oxide. The uncoated zinc has also proven to be anti-bacterial and antimicrobial and can reduce redness, rosacea, age spots and melasma. Solar Rx carries a EWG Skin Deep Rating of 0 (0 to 10 scale where 0 is best).

How to Use:
Apply enough Solar Rx to the face, apround the eyes, neck and hands to cover the skin evenly. Rub in until it disappears, but heavy enough to feel a light thin coat. Reapply at least every two hours and more frequently in high UV Index and high humidity areas. Remember that Keys Solar Rx is not waterproof or for strenuous activity. It is an everyday cosmetic sunblock with a moisturizing lotion that is water soluble. WARNING:
Keys is a sun avoidance company. We comply with the new proposed FDA guidelines that support that sunscreens and sunblocks should be used in combination with SPF/UPF protective clothing, a UV rated big brim hat and UV protecting sunglasses. Solar Rx is for people who want to avoid damaging UV radiation for exposed skin like the face, neck and hands. We do not support using Solar Rx for sun bathing, sports, swimming or in lieu of protective clothing. Avoid any direct sun exposure from 10 AM to 4 PM especially in tropical climates where the published daily UV Index exceeds 6. When used in combination with SPF protective clothing, a UPF rated hat and UV protecting sunglasses, Solar Rx provides security for unprotected skin.
Solar Rx reapplication is recommended at least every two hours in normal everyday situations. We have tested UV levels at noon in Washington DC where type two (T2) skin wearing SPF 30 sun protection can begin to burn in under 15 minutes. Please note that the EWG report lists Solar Rx as 'old formulation'. This is an error in their system. The current product and the one in the report are identical formulas in ingredients and proportions!
Solar Rx is a sunblock designed for use to prevent sun damage in everyday situations. It is not waterproof or designed for heavy exercise.
