The tropical flowers and plants in Onyx Oil (such as marigold) contain natural photoreceptors, which add a few points of sun protection, but as fair as your friend Summer is, she should use SPF 25.

One of the interesting things I’ve learned in the process of marketing this product is that an SPF above 25 doesn’t add much protection. In a commercial sunscreen with petrochemical sun absorbers like oxybenzone and cinnamates, SPF 25 protects you from something like 94 percent of the sun’s rays; 30 protects you from 97 percent and doubles the amounts of chemicals to do so. That’s why those higher-number SPF lotions smell so strange.

There’s nothing artificial in either product, which is not the case for a lot of sunscreens sold in the health food channel. Check the labels. It’s pretty shocking.
