Plant-based sunscreen without nanoparticles and emulsifiers

Gentle UV protection with purely plant-based power – without mineral filters, nanoparticles, or emulsifiers. Sunshine Day Oil protects and strengthens your skin's natural UV protection.


Sun protection is important – no question. But many people want more than just protection from UV radiation: They want products that are natural, skin-friendly, and environmentally friendly.

With the Sunshine Day Oil line, myrto Naturkosmetik offers a clever solution for all those who consciously want to avoid chemical or mineral UV filters, nanoparticles and emulsifiers – and instead rely on the power of plants.

Why mineral sunscreen is not automatically safe

  • Environmental pollution from nanoparticles: Nanoparticles accumulate in the environment and are harmful to aquatic organisms and sensitive aquatic systems such as coral reefs.
  • Misleading labeling: According to EU regulations, products containing up to 49% nanoparticles are considered "nano-free." This regulation creates a false sense of safety and downplays warnings that nanoparticles can penetrate the skin and cause inflammation, organ damage, or tumors in the body, as demonstrated in animal studies in 2019.
  • Vitamin D deficiency due to high sun protection: Vitamin D strengthens the immune system and protects against diseases – but high sun protection filters almost completely block the body’s own vitamin D production.

Possible consequences of deficiency:

  • Low moods
  • fatigue
  • Dry skin

Tip: If you expose your face and hands to the sun for 15-20 minutes a day, this is often enough for the body to produce vitamin D – depending on your skin type and sun intensity.

The emulsifier problem: Invisible stress for the skin

Mineral pigments require emulsifiers to remain stable in the product. However, these have unpleasant side effects:

  • Emulsifiers attack the skin's protective barrier
  • Emulsifiers dry out the skin and promote irritation
  • Emulsifiers increase skin permeability – which makes it easier for nanoparticles to enter the body

This is particularly critical in the following cases:

  • acne
  • Rosacea
  • Atopic dermatitis

Conclusion: Even “natural” sun protection with mineral UV filters is neither skin-friendly nor environmentally friendly when used daily.

Sunshine Day Oil: Plant-based protection without mineral UV filters, nanoparticles or emulsifiers

Plant-based sunscreen | Myrto Naturkosmetik

The myrto Sunshine Day Oil line deliberately takes a different approach – to protect sensitive skin and sensitive ecosystems.

Without UV filter – with 100% plant power

  • No zinc oxide, no titanium dioxide
  • No synthetic or mineral UV filters
  • No nanoparticles
  • No emulsifiers or PEGs
  • No fragrances

Daily UV protection with antioxidant plant active ingredients

  • Karanja oil: Antioxidant, absorbs UVA and UVB radiation – proven natural UV booster.
  • Magnolia bark: Contains magnolol & honokiol – strong anti-inflammatory and cell-protective.
  • Amaranth seed oil: Rich in squalene and vitamin E, protects, moisturizes and absorbs UV energy.
  • Astaxanthin: The most powerful natural antioxidant known – 6000 times more powerful than vitamin C.
  • Vitamin E (tocopherol): Cell renewing, protects against oxidative stress and environmental pollution.

These oils and extracts do not protect by blocking, but by strengthening the skin's natural defenses – gently, sustainably, naturally.

Who is Sunshine Day Oil suitable for?

  • People with sensitive skin or skin prone to skin diseases
  • Anyone who does not want emulsifiers or nanoparticles on their skin
  • Natural cosmetics fans who value transparency and sustainability
  • Anyone who cares about coral and environmental protection
  • Friends of minimalist skincare with antioxidant daily effect

Tip: Perfect under makeup or in combination with clothing protection – especially in everyday life with moderate sun exposure.

Conclusion: Sun protection rethought – with responsibility for skin and the environment

With the Sunshine Day Oil line, myrto Naturkosmetik demonstrates that true skin protection doesn't require harmful UV filters, emulsifiers, or nanotechnology. A conscious path to healthy skin—and a healthy future.

❓ Frequently asked questions about our Sunshine Day Oil

How does Sunshine Day Oil protect without a sunscreen filter?
It works through antioxidant plant substances such as karanja oil, tocopherol or astaxanthin, which neutralize free radicals and counteract UV-induced cell damage.
Can I use Sunshine Day Oil if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, Sunshine Day Oil is free of emulsifiers, nanoparticles, and fragrances – ideal for sensitive skin prone to atopic dermatitis, acne, or rosacea.
Does Sunshine Day Oil prevent vitamin D production?
No, because it does not contain any chemical or mineral UV filters, the skin can continue to produce vitamin D – while providing antioxidant support against UV stress.
Is Sunshine Day Oil a replacement for sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF)?
In strong UV radiation, we recommend applying a mineral sunscreen with a high SPF. Sunshine Day Oil is ideal for daily use with moderate sun exposure.
How do I apply Sunshine Day Oil correctly?
After cleansing, apply 3–4 drops to damp facial skin. Ideal as a daily moisturizer under makeup or in combination with protective clothing.
