American Larch Tree and Bark Extract - GA

I really praise Sierra Summits sunscreen. I used it at the World Blokart Championship in Ivanpah, CA. I'm blonde with sensitive skin, but didn't get sunburn or skin reaction at all despite 4 days up to 10 hours a day in the desert. KL Wright

Sierra Summits sunscreen formulations use a SPF-boosting botanical ingredient, Galactoarabinan (GA), a naturally occurring botanical ingredient extracted from the bark of the American larch tree which grows in abundance in the Northwestern USA. GA is Ecocert approved and is claimed to boost SPF by up to 50%.

Sierra’s sunscreens use a property of the natural ingredient GA to reduce the particle size of our zinc oxide, which helps it disperse and, in doing so, lead to a more uniform emulsion transference onto the skin surface and improves the SPF properties. Zinc oxide is a very effective sunblock due to its ability to strongly block ultra violet light (UVA). Zinc Oxide sits on top of your skin and is not absorbed, so it reflects and scatters the sun’s rays.

There are additional aesthetically pleasing benefits from the GA extract . Studies conducted at the AMA Laboratories on behalf of several skincare brands have shown GA can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, because it acts as a gentle skin exfoliate and further provides long lasting moisturization of the skin.
