Here’s Why Yerba Mate Mist Should Be Your Go-To Sunscreen

Nature - the essence of everything – from the food we eat to the air we breathe its birthright goes to Mother Nature. Being in nature helps us stay healthy and fight disease. While a dose of green can lower your heart rate, a dose of white (or yellow to a kid) can boost your mood.

The only mood killer would be meeting the white-yellow ball in the sky looking like Casper, emitting an unwanted glow - all the while potentially doting harsh ingredients on your skin. That’s right! Conventional sunscreens often contain harmful chemicals and nanoparticles that can damage your skin and the environment. But not on our sun dial.

Now imagine stepping into the sun knowing your skin is shielded by a product as natural and effective as nature itself. Meet your skin’s best SPF mate – yerba mate! Our Yerba Mate Mist SPF 30 is a revolutionary sun protection solution that is as safe and natural as it is effective.

We’re taking you to sun school to learn everything about yerba mate, and how 100% PURE harnesses the power of nature to provide clean, effective, and ethical sunscreen solutions. Join us on the quest for the perfect natural sun protection. It’s time for the sun to meet its mate!

From Nature to Skin

At 100% PURE, we couldn’t agree more with the ‘from nature to your skin’ ideology, which is why our skincare products are as natural and effective as nature itself. As with most our formulations, we chose to focus on one powerful, effective ingredient to make our sun production perform at its highest potential.

That superb sun-shieling ingredient is a South American plant that lives in the holly family: yerba mate. Although it’s commonly referred to as a tea leaf, yerba mate is actually an infusion created from the leaves and twigs of the Ilex paraguariensis plant. It was referred to as “the green liquid gold of South America.” Native people in South America used it to aid in inflammation and rheumatism. We knew there was a golden opportunity as ‘bright as the sun’ that could paradoxically shield us from the sun.

The inspiration behind Yerba Mate Mist SPF 30 came from 100% PURE wanting to harness the power of nature with a gentle yet effective plant-based ingredient that was skin- and eco-friendly sun protection, but it was the best SPF for sensitive skin. Since sensitive skin often exhibits redness, irritation or inflammation, yerba mate with its proven anti-inflammatory properties could help soothe and calm these skin sensitivities.

Yerba mate is also rich in antioxidants, which helps protect the skin against free radical damage and environmental pollutants. It fortifies and rejuvenates the skin, enhancing its natural barrier and resilience. Together with the UV-combatting properties of yerba mate, we also wanted to create a sunscreen that combines other powerful natural ingredients with the latest in sun protection technology.

As opposed to chemical sunscreens, physical sunscreens work by physically blocking (instead of reacting with) UVA and UVB rays. You might also see it called ‘mineral sunscreen’ because it uses minerals like zinc oxide and titanium oxide as physical shields against UV rays. Because mineral sunscreens shield your skin against UV rays, you can eliminate the potential of harmful chemical reactions and irritation – and a UV biggie, fewer health risks. Moreover, mineral formulas are eco-friendlier!

Titanium dioxide is another latest in sun protection for the brand. This skin-loving mineral option can sometimes be found paired with zinc oxide in natural sunblock formulas. But before titanium dioxide is made into sunscreens, it is first micronized. And after the micronized process, titanium dioxide doesn’t penetrate the skin. That means that you’re getting all the sun protection benefits without the UV risks and burns.

Our commitment extends beyond the formulation of our sun and skincare products that meet the highest standards of purity, safety, efficacy. We strive to ensure that each product we bring to your hands promotes sustainability and environmental responsibility, reflecting our dedication to preserving the natural beauty of the Mother Nature.
