The problem is the sun emits harmful UVA/UVB rays that has the ability to penetrate the skin and over-exposure can cause skin cancer. However, you can protect your skin from these harmful rays with Sun Protection Factor (SPF).
Titanium dioxide acts as a natural SPF reflecting light away from your skin, and zinc oxide is a natural UV blocker; both elements are a natural occurring mineral from the earth’s surface.
Cancer Research (UK) suggests applying SPF 15 as a minimum and suggest by using a daily sunscreen along with your mineral makeup, you can provide your skin with the protection it needs to maintain a healthy, luminous appearance.
All Orissa Cosmetics product range contain both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as standard; put together give a natural SPF of between 15 to 30.

1. Vitamin A
This antioxidant may decrease free radical and UV damage, which can result in skin aging and wrinkling. Most people get enough vitamin A from their diet, so separate supplements probably aren’t necessary. Plus, too much vitamin A — over 5,000 International Units (IU) daily — can increase a person’s chances for broken hips and liver problems. In addition to supplements, vitamin A is also found in topical acne and anti-wrinkle treatments.
- Vitamins are organic substances made by plants or animals. They help enzymes carry out chemical processes in the body. Vitamins fall into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in the body’s fat and are then stored. Water-soluble vitamins need water to dissolve. Although they’re absorbed by the body, water-soluble vitamins aren’t stored, and must be taken daily. Some are even best taken morning and night, like vitamins B and C.
- Minerals, in contrast, don’t come from living plants or animals. Still, they play several important roles in the body, like balancing fluid levels and sending signals from nerves to muscles. Examples of minerals include sodium and potassium.
