Outdoor activities such as swimming, skiing, and hiking can lead to dry, chapped, and sunburned skin. Unexpected sunburns, scrapes, bug bites, and dehydration can cause both immediate discomfort and long-term skin damage. Fortunately, LORENOL® with SULFORAPHANE offers a solution by protecting the skin and helping to stop 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
It's important to understand that Broccoli Extracts (Sulforaphane) do not act as a sunscreen. Instead, they build a matrix of protective enzymes that defend skin cells against UV radiation damage. Notably, topical broccoli extract has been shown to be active for three days after application, even when no longer visible 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
SOOTHING SILVER CREAM
- Studies indicate, that if Soothing Silver Cream is applied within 4 hours of developing sunburn, it can help stop the stinging and may reverse the sunburn, alleviating pain and itch associated with severely sunburned skin. Research suggests that 24 hours after application, the skin shows no redness or pain often linked to severe sunburns. Please note that if applied after 4 hours, it may still help halt the sunburn's progression, though it might not entirely reverse it. Continued use can help lessen pain and itching and speed up recovery.
POST TREATMENT BALM
-
Infused with natural analgesic, antimicrobial, and anti-itch properties, this balm is beneficial for chapped skin, scraped knees, and bug bites. Applying it to affected skin areas can help relieve pain, itching, dehydration, redness, and inflammation and accelerate skin recovery.
DAILY BALANCING CLEANSER
- Most cleansers contain Lauryl or Laureth Sulfates, which are not recommended for sunburned skin. Our lightweight foaming cleanser is very mild yet highly effective, especially after a severe sunburn. It is formulated without harsh surfactants that can make skin feel tight or dry. Instead, it contains gentle surfactants and antioxidants that stimulate the skin's natural immune defenses, removing pollutants that can further damage the skin.
