Many spray hand sanitizers use an alcohol-based solution to kill germs. The alcohols used are primarily ethyl alcohol (grain alcohol) and methanol (wood alcohol). Other hand sanitizer ingredients, in addition to alcohol, are benzene and acetaldehyde.
Let’s dig into the science of these chemicals used for hand sanitizers…
If this is not already alarming, the fact is that the use of alcohol also works on bacteria for about 10-15 seconds and dries out your skin. You’d be better off using soap and water but that’s not handy to carry around.
3rd Rock Essentials silver products are made with food-grade, chelated silver oxide and NO HARMFUL ALCOHOLS.
In fact, we only use chelated silver oxide. This is 32 times more efficacious than colloidal silver and is a safe form of bacteria-destroying silver due to its chelation properties.
Rest at ease knowing 3rd Rock Essentials provides only products that are food grade and edible should they be ingested – never containing alcohols. No harmful fumes, no toxicity, never dries out your skin or endangers your loved ones.

Inflammation is important and a vital process our body uses to heal a cut or internal injury for example. Redness and pain are symptoms of inflammation and evidence of the body working to remedy or heal the injury. You can be sure that if you feel pain, you are experiencing some degree of inflammation — your body is in its miraculous process of healing. It is also known that that infectious bacteria is also a root cause of inflammation.
Animal and bug bites —think tick bites—food poisoning, fungus, molds, and mildew are all essentially forms of bacteria. The tick bite is a great example of how a small internal exposure of a bug’s bacteria can cause dangerous, systemic inflammation.
3rdRock's silver products address the elimination of infectious bacteria. Our chelated silver oxide, specifically, is effective for treating a host of these inflammatory concerns. In 2016-2017, 3rd Rock Essentials conducted a study on the effectiveness of Nutrasporin® for urinary tract infections (UTIs) at the Marine Court retirement home in Bremerton, WA. Over the course of the study UTIs were essentially eliminated and did not reoccur using Nutrasporin®.
3rd Rock Essentials Nutrasporin® come in two food grade formulas. The green tube is water soluble and the orange tube is water resistant. Orange Nutrasporin® is ideal because it has lasting power after application on hot and sweaty days or while exercising.
NUTRASPORIN® ORANGE IS WATER RESISTANT.

3rd Rock Essentials formulates all its products to be “earth friendly” AND, at the same time, care for your body inside and out. WOW! The best of both!
AND why our motto is, and continues to be, “if you wouldn’t put it in your mouth why on Earth would you put it on your skin?” If you read our ingredient (INCI) lists there would be no hesitation to consume ANY of the ingredients on the list. They are ALL food grade edible.

One important example is as follows:
What do you do when you have a case of FOOD POISONING ?
You are in pain, bloated, cramping, and have diarrhea then you reach for a bottle of that pink liquid, Pepto Bismol® (or the only other OTC… loperamide). They are a means to quell the dreadful symptoms.
So your gut is under a bacterial assault and you ingest either potion, of Bismuth subsalicylate, which, in addition to not curing the issue (infectious bacteria such as E-coli, etc.), is considered an environmental hazard. It is also banned in the EU. You can opt for other anti-diarrheal products, containing loperamide, that the FDA warns can cause heart problems if taken incorrectly . Loperamide has been named "the poor man's methadone" in a Washington Post article. It is also categorized as "acute toxicity: oral, category3."
But…What about the cause of your suffering to begin with? THE HARMFUL INFECTIOUS BACTERIA IN YOUR GUT.
Why not just spray away the INFECTIOUS BACTERIA with 3rd Rock Essentials Chelated Silver Infusion Spray! We have a patented formula of chelated silver oxide complex, pure distilled water, and USP Kosher vegetable glycerine that is easily ingested , easily assimilates, and —when taken internally — knocks out the harmful bacteria. You will soon restore your gut biome to its original, or even, better glory!
All with ingredients you can easily pronounce AND with no harm to you or our beloved 3rd Rock!

]]>At 3rd Rock Essentials we make the world’s healthiest and most functional personal care products because we want to help the world function better and become healthier.
We use only food-grade edible ingredients straight from Mother Earth to You. We believe that if you would not put a body product in your mouth, then you should not put it on your skin. . . your body’s largest organ.
We believe that the toxins and chemicals slabbed into the Big Guy’s personal care products (and into those pseudo-natural companies that keep springing up) are not good for you. We know that the science backs us—as do mothers and fathers and sons and daughters across America.
We were founded by a surfer with a PhD who teaches at Duke. Our CEO came out of retirement to lead us because he felt called to do so.
Our team consists of folks from all over the United States who took the job only after trying 3rd Rock’s Sunblock®, Nutrasporin®, Silver Excelsior Serum, and every other healing tonic and ointment in the line—and we came on board only after we became believers ourselves.
And we are here to stay.
From our Founder and CEO right on down to our Internet Guys and the Creative Team, 3rd Rock Essentials is proud to ride the wave of natural health.
And we encourage you to join us. We encourage you to stop putting chemicals and toxins on your skin, on the skin of your friends, and on the skin of your loved ones.
We encourage you to give our products a try. We encourage you to say, “I am done putting bad things into my body because I wish to put only good things into my body.”
We encourage you to hop on the 3rd Rock wave—for an eye-opening ride of natural healing.

The conference, which takes place February 28th-March 1st, at the Portland Downtown Hilton Hotel aims to transform lives by shifting the outlook of health, equipping their graduates with real-world knowledge of how to tap into the body’s and the world’s innate healing abilities.
This year’s theme, Thrive, encourages moving beyond mere day-to-day ‘survival’ and into the realm of fulfillment and achievement. The topics of thriving personally, thriving professionally, and thriving as a community hit home with 3rd Rock’s core beliefs—so we decided to take our show on the road and see how he can help out the folks in the Pacific Northwest.
This event is part of 3rd Rock Essentials larger mission as we continue to expand our healing-power to all neighborhoods across our nation.
“Everyone who tries our products likes them, feels them working,” CEO Matt Gersper states. “It’s just a matter of continuing to get our ointments, tonics, and sprays into new communities. It’s fun to fan the flame. . . and get more people riding the 3rd Rock Wave.”

“It’s a huge honor,” says 3rd Rock Founder and CTO Guerry Grune. “It’s been a long ride, and the world is starting to catch on.”
Grune, who founded 3rd Rock Essentials with the flagship sun-care product in 2003, did it to help a friend.
“My surfing buddy got skin cancer at 23,” Grune continues. “I’ve never been much for idle observation, so I did something about it.”
What he did was create the world’s best sunscreen. With UVA and UVB protection that is literally off the chart, his patented chelated zinc silver oxide formula is the strongest and safest on the planet.
Made exclusively with food-grade edible ingredients, 3rd Rock is the world’s first 100% non-endocrine disrupting sunscreen—protecting skin without risking even a hint of toxicity coming into contact with your skin.
The cytoprotective formulation neutralizes free radicals, keeping your cells and your skin vibrant and youthful—and has been hailed by the dermatologic community as the “Holy Grail” of sunscreens.
Compare zinc oxide, vegetable glycerin, distilled water, jojoba oil, whole-leaf aloe extract, beeswax, orange peel wax, and essential oils to the avobenzone, octinoxate and other toxic ingredients in your sunscreen.
“It’s about changing the culture,” says Grune, who, in addition to his duties with 3rd Rock, teaches at Duke University. “A lot of people used a lot of bad sunscreen for a long time. We say, ‘if you wouldn’t put it in your mouth, you shouldn’t put it on your skin.’”
Dr. Grune is also proud of what 3rd Rock Sunblock Sunscreen Lotion does for the concern of sunscreens on reef-safety.
“Most sunscreens have been banned in places like Hawaii and Key West—the big guys’ stuff, yeah, and also lot more ‘pseudo-natural stuff’ than you’d think—and the bans are going to continue around the world. Other sunscreens are killing that ecosystem,” he states. “Our stuff, though, is not only not bad, it actually ‘feeds the reefs’. . . 3rd Rock helps them heal.”
Good for people. Good for planet. The 2020s will be a time of change for this third rock from the sun and Guerry Grune, the surfing scientist has a simple message.
“Catch the 3rd Rock wave.”]]>"Common sense is not so common."
(Voltaire)
3rd Rock founder, Guerry Grune, started this company to help a few friends.
Yeah, Guerry’s a Professor at Duke, has a bunch of degrees, is a patent expert, and can talk natural-science like Coach K can talk basketball—but, at heart, he’s a surfer.
He’s chased the perfect wave. He’s surfed the world’s meccas. He’s been barreled. He’s found the flow of the ocean and the freedom of the ride.
But years ago, he also found out his youngest surfer buddy had skin cancer—at the age of 23. This hit Guerry. Hard. But he didn’t wallow. He didn’t pout in a pool of helplessness. He did something.
He created the best sunblock on Earth. No joke, his patent —3rd Rock’s patent—is the only product offering a chelated zinc oxide which is both formulation and UV stabile. Not Coppertone. Not Banana Boat. 3rd Rock.
Oh, and this highest functioning, most protective mineral sunscreen available to you and your family is also the world’s healthiest. No toxins. No harmful chemicals. No cancer-causing particles to slab all over your skin as you try to avoid cancer. Only food-grade edible ingredients that are safe enough to eat. His motto is “if it isn’t safe enough to put in your mouth why would you put it on your skin?” – Think about it – your skin is your biggest organ and covers your entire body – the stuff you put on your skin should be just as safe as what you ingest. Your skin absorbs everything you rub on it.
3rd Rock is all about the third rock from the sun. We’re all about earth-derived ingredients so safe you can eat ‘em. Heathy for human and earth and ocean. So natural and so good that our sunblock not only doesn’t destroy coral reefs like the big guys’ sunscreen—it actually ‘Feeds the Reefs’, replenishing coral ecosystems.
Our nutrient-rich formula is so good that Nemo and Dory stopped by the other day. Flipper may swim over for a cappuccino next week.
So, in the name of earth and health and friendship, throw out your old sunscreen and give 3rd Rock SunBlock Sunscreen a try. Dory can’t stop talking about it.
]]>“Nature itself is the best physician.”
(Hippocrates)
The time has come to take your health into your own hands.
The time has come to say no to Goliath and yes to David. The time has come to say goodbye to chemicals and toxins—and hello to food-grade edible ingredients from the medicine of Mother Earth. The time has come for 3rd Rock.
Our natural tonics, ointments, lotions, and sprays help skin, cell, & body thrive—enabling you and your family to live your best life ever.
Your skin is your body’s largest organ, its job to protect all other organs. When a vital organ is impaired by toxins, health consequences follow. That’s why we developed our personal care line to protect and correct toxic skin exposure.
The reviews are in. Our mission is gaining momentum. We are here to improve the healthy of the world, one person at a time—we’d love you to be next.
]]>Treat the source. Makes sense, right?
That’s what our Chelated Silver Oxide does for the fight against bad and infectious bacteria. Stop bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease. Cure food poisoning and gut problems. Prevent cervical cancer, stomach cancer, and colon cancer.
3rd Rock Silver Infusion kills bad and infectious bacteria before it starts—by transforming the surface properties of gum, teeth and mouth membranes to eliminate the teeming growth of clinging bacteria.
Eliminating infectious bacteria in the mouth means it doesn’t get into your gut and vital organs. Preventing at least three types of cancers while keeping your smile healthy and your breath fresh.
Wipe out salmonella, strep, chlamydia, mycoplasma, UTI’s and more with 3rd Rock’s Chelated Silver Oxide. Give Silver Infusion a try and then throw away your old stuff.
]]>Four tires and an engine doesn’t make your Toyota Corolla a Porsche. Scranton, PA is not New York City. Any old portrait ain’t The Mona Lisa.
And comparing ‘colloidal silver’ to 3rd Rock’s Chelated Silver Oxide is doodles to Da Vinci.
See, what most brands pass off as health-benefit silver is run-of-the-mill ‘colloidal silver’—nano-sized silver particles suspended in water that, when ingested, don’t attach to cell walls and flush out of your system rapidly, similar to Vitamin C or other supplements. There’s little benefit beyond placebo… you’re essentially paying for expensive urine.
3rd Rock’s patented Chelated Silver Oxide is different, unique in the silver world, and the highest quality health-benefit silver out there. Containing amino acids, citrates, and kosher vegetable USP grade glycerin, our silver sticks to and penetrates cell walls—delivering silver oxide straight to cells to bolster their fight against infectious bacteria.
Our scientists want us to pump up the ‘bioavailability’ and ‘bioabsorbability’ of our silver, meaning you don’t have to use too much to feel lasting benefits, but those are big words for a blog. So, I’ll just say: “A chelated cell is an elated cell.”
And when our cells are happy—when our cells are free of infectious bacteria—we are happy.
]]>All due respect to the health and wellness industry and dermatology at large, but when Petroleum Jelly—a toxic substance discovered in the 1800s at the bottom of oil rigs—is still touted as a viable moisturizer, 3rd Rock balks.
Sure, petroleum’s occlusive properties may keep skin from flaking, but only because it fills pores—not allowing them to “breathe” and preventing them from fulfilling their vital functions of secretion.
Oh, and Petroleum Jellies are laden with Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHAs) which are not suspected carcinogens but known carcinogens.
According to the Environmental Working Group, petroleum is in one of every fourteen cosmetic products. Would you put motor oil in your mouth? Or your child’s? Didn’t think so.
Throw out the Vaseline and check out 3rd Rock’s natural alternative, Nutroleum. Our jelly is simple, made from two ingredients we get straight from plants. Try a jar today.
]]>"That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains."
(Steve Jobs)
Everywhere I go, it seems, stoplights are being converted to roundabouts. Where I live up in the mountains, where my folks live down on the coast. And the flat lands in between.
Those yellow, green, and red technological monsters once seen as “a vital step forward” for man and society are being removed from the scene—so that low-tech, intuitive circles and their natural rhythm and motion and may once again reign.
No one likes being stopped at a red light with no other cars around. It’s pointless, a manmade dam to the natural flow of things. It’s unnatural. Let an object in motion stay in motion, right?
And that’s what 3rd Rock does. We’re new school by being old school. We don't use the modern chemicals and colorings and toxins that the big guys use. We prefer a simpler and more natural way, using only food-grade-edible ingredients straight from the earth. Mother Earth.
3rd Rock is the best, simplest, most natural personal care products. No more stoplights. Only health, flow, and LIFE!
“The artist is kind of a seer and by nature he is optimistic because he believes in the future.”
(Roy DeCarava)
Cassandra, mythological priestess of Apollo, had the gift of prophecy, to peer into days ahead and tell you if you should invade that empire or court that certain someone. Yet her curse was that no one believed her—and people continued their blind walk down the road of life without the benefit they could so easily have had.
Back in 2003, Guerry Grune, founder of 3rd Rock Essentials, patented the world’s healthiest sunscreen—made from natural ingredients rather than chemical compounds—because he did his research, combined it with a razor acumen, and saw the future. Too bad more people outside of Duke University didn’t believe him—and moms and dads kept slabbing on the Big Guys' stuff full of bad things, seeping poison into their children and the Earth along the way.
It would take fifteen years until Hawaii began to believe Guerry and, in 2018, because of damage done to their reef ecosystems, the enlightened islands banned Big Guy Sunscreen go-to’s oxybenzone and octinoxate. Key West soon followed. And moms and dads around the country finally are too. Because sunscreen should not mask and harm but protect and nourish.
See, 3rd Rock Sunblock was the first and still is the best. We made our prophecy, paved the road—and people and planet are now benefitting from our science of nature.
Guerry Grune is the mythological priest of skincare and 3rd Rock is its Mount Olympus. The ancient Greeks should have listened to Cassandra. The modern world needs to listen to Guerry.
Grab some sunblock that Cassandra would approve.

3rd Rock Essentials founder Guerry Grune will present at the bi-annual Sunscreen Symposium September 12-14th in Orlando, Florida.
“It’s definitely an honor,” says Grune, who has long known of the juggernaut conference.
Companies such as Coppertone, Banana Boat, and Neutrogena have largely dominated the platform throughout the years, and he sees great opportunity for this to be a breakout event for 3rd Rock.
“It’s a chance for David to get a seat at the table with Goliath,” Grune says. “And I’m bringing my slingshot with me."
Grune notes that since he conceived of a sunblock made from “ingredients so healthy you can eat ‘em” back in 2003, the perception around skincare has evolved. “People are more aware now,” he says. “People are more informed of their options.”
Acknowledging that the idea of a chemical-free sunscreen was “ahead of its time” sixteen years ago, Grune also states that recent bans of oxybenzone and octinoxate in Hawaii and Key West have elevated the conscientiousness of consumers, for benefit of family members and planet alike.
“Either the big guys didn’t know what I knew, or they were quiet about it,” Grune continues. “I could have made a lot of money if I’d sold out a few years ago, but I am in this heart and soul.”
He acknowledges the time has come for a change in sunblock and skin care in general, a shift away from the chemicals and toxins and toward natural ingredients derived from earth. “In the beginning, yeah, I helped a lot of people but they were mostly friends, family, some colleagues at Duke. And, now, finally you see the masses catching on. It’s exciting.”

]]>3rd Rock Sunblock Lotion SPF 35 is formulated exclusively from food-grade, edible sunscreen ingredients.
]]>In fact, unlike any traditional sunblock lotion, 3rd Rock SPF 35 offers UVA protection, and it prevents aging, wrinkling, and skin cancer much better than synthetic-based sunscreens. It does so by preventing the nuclear damage to cell DNA that causes cell mutation and, eventually, cancer. The advantage of 3rd Rock Sunblock Lotion SPF 35 is that it blocks UVA and UVB rays, rather than only blocking UVB rays like many standard sunscreens.
Why Should You Love It?
3rd Rock Sunscreen Active Ingredients: Zinc oxide (23.5%), Inactive Ingredients: vegetable glycerin, distilled water, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) oil, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, L-arginine, aloe barbadensis leaf gel, cera alba (beeswax), citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel wax, phosphatidyl choline, boswelia sacra (frankincense) oil, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) oil, tocopherol, ascorbic acid, zea mays (corn) starch, maranta arundinacea (arrowroot) root extract, xanthan gum, gamma oryzanol, beta glucan.
What are the purpose of these ingredients in your sunscreen: xanthan gum, beta glucan, and gamma oryzanol?
Gamma oryzanol is rice bran extract which boosts SPF in our product to over 35 and is a strong antioxidant which is used by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass.
Xanthan gum is thickening agent that also has cytoprotective properties for skin cells.
Beta Glucan is also a very powerful antioxidant which quenches free radicals produced by the UV light from the sun on your skin.

Nutrasporin® has been used since late 2016 in some clinical trials at two assisted care facilities in the state of Washington with great success in eliminating UTI’s – urinary tract infections. These infections occur mostly for females at or near the urethra and are caused by the fact that urine which is not properly or completely discharged is a spawning ground for infectious bacteria. For elderly patients with this issue, some of whom are use a catheter, the UTIs can lead to dementia via the “gut-brain-health” connection.
The reason Nutrsasporin works so effectively is that it is a glycerine and plant based emulsifier gel with cationic silver oxide properties so that is literally bonds with the tissue and will penetrate the cellular tissue rapidly.
The results of this trial have been astounding. 90% of patients who have been treated with Nutrasporin are UTI free and have also maintained their mental acuity. Another benefit is the reduced need for these patients to have to use antibiotics. Many women, in non-clinical settings, have also experienced a reduction of UTI’s using Nutrasporin.
We fight an “uphill” battle, as the standard remedy for UTIs are antibiotics which only kill a certain strain of bacteria – are much more expensive – and eventually weaken the patient’s immune system. But this is what most doctors order. In the case of Nutrasporin®, the product is “bacteria agnostic” meaning it wipes out all strains of infectious bacteria in the same fashion and does not allow certain strains to proliferate.
]]>By Dr. Guerry Grune
Triple antibiotic creams use mycins and myxins (Neosporin® includes bacitracin,neomycin, and polymyxin B, in a relatively low-molecular-weight patented base of cocoa butter, cottonseed oil, sodium pyruvate, tocopheryl acetate, and petroleum jelly - not something you'd want to put in your mouth or allow your kids to put into theirs. It is very effective against certain microorganisms and certain strains of bacteria. The issues with Neosporin as an active antimicrobial and antibacterial ointment, however, are two fold:
Why does 3rd Rock's Silver Work so Well
3rd Rock Essentials chelated silver oxide is chelated (chemically bonded) with glycolic acid - an amino acid that bonds with the silver oxide and causes the product to be both bioavailable and bioactive. In addition, it contains a biopolymer known as chitosan, allowing for skin compatibility and causing the silver oxide to remain effective in reducing or eliminating bacteria on the skin for greater than 24 hours !
Other silver oxides are normally atomic ionic silver oxide particles made from silver nitrates or silver citrates and are usually in the form of colloidal particles (see, for example, Sovereign Silver ®). These particles are extremely small and pass through the cells but do not attach to the cell walls. They do not "stick" because they are not bioactive or bioavailable. This "sticking" allows for the 3rdrock's chelated silver ions to be more effective (by orders of magnitude) because of the contact time they have with the cells. Infected cells (cells infected with bacteria) that have more contact time with known anti-infection capabilities of the chelated silver oxide ions allow for these cells to "heal themselves" more effectively and rapidly than simple silver ions.
Comparisons of colloidal silver and Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can be made, in that they both have documented antibacterial and antimicrobial activity but they "wash through" the cells and the body much more rapidly and have much less "sticking" capabilities than the chelated silver oxide we provide.

It can be taken daily to naturally support the body’s immune system. Silver Infusion 150PPM is made with our patented chelated silver oxide complex, not colloidal silver. This is the same chelated silver oxide we use in the Rashblock and Nutrasporin®, but at a concentration of 150 ppm.

The innovative chelation process that we use allows for better bioavailability and biocompatibility so that the body’s cells will much more readily adsorb our silver oxide without affecting benefits from helpful probiotics. At 150 PPM, Silver Infusion 150 is 15x more concentrated than most colloidal silver products currently offered. This product can be stored at room temperature.

]]>Your skin is a protective sponge and what goes on it will eventually wind up in your urine and blood plasma - this is proven medical knowledge that most of the personal care formulators never take into consideration.
The sponge absorbs, but also discharges, toxins (assuming you do not use anti-perspirants that blocks the discharge – often toxic discharge).
That is why 3rd Rock Essentials' formulations meet a “higher’ standard. We make it simple – if it’s a chemical compound that you would not ordinarily consume – we don’t put it in our products.
One example, of many, is our use of vegetable glycerine. It is kosher, “pharma-grade” and is derived from plant and vegetable matter ONLY. It is not from crude oil – so not petroleum based – and it is the same pure product bakers use to make cookies, cakes, etc. on a daily basis. It is also a humectant – which means it helps to bring water from the air into your skin as you apply any of our products, including our sunscreens.
We will, in future articles, update you on this concept so that you can understand what really goes into our choices for making skin care products that “feed your skin” properly: no toxins, no endocrine disrupters, no soy based components.
Only nourishing components which you would not hesitate to put in your mouth or perhaps more importantly childrens' mouths.
]]>
Colloidal silver is silver oxide particles (nano sized normally) that are suspended in solution and when taken orally will not attach to cell walls and thus be flushed out of your system rather quickly (similar to taking vitamin C).
In contrast, 3rd Rock's innovative and patented chelated silver oxide in Nutrasporin contains amino acids and citrates that will stick to and penetrate cell walls. This effectively delivers the silver oxide to cells within the body that are in need of treatment for infectious bacteria.
The beneficial effects of chelated silver will last much longer as the cells will carry the silver oxide longer. This will allow you to take small quantities and low concentrations (75-100 ppm) which are proven to be more effective than any of the colloidal silver products at higher concentrations!
3rd Rock's chelated silver technology is used in Nutrasporin, RashBlock, OdorBlock, Silver Infusion 150 Water and more.

Gut health is becoming a hot topic with more and more medical professionals who are beginning to more fully understand the importance of the brain -gut health connection, especially regarding the role of infectious bacteria in the gut. If the gut is unhealthy so is the ability of the brain to function normally. Our silver oxide chelate and distilled water tonic will reduce the unwanted bacteria due to ingestion of contaminated food (food poisoning relief is immediate), exposure to infectious bacteria in the air or water (think traveling – airports - and drinking water in places like Mexico or other less than desirable sanitary locations).
Although it is much more complicated and expensive to make our silver oxide chelate and water tonic than the colloidal silver alternatives, you will understand that our product will perform orders of magnitude better and guarantee your satisfaction or – as with all of our products – a complete refund of your money.

What are the purpose of these ingredients in your sunscreen: xanthan gum, beta glucan, and gamma oryzanol?
Gamma oryzanol is rice bran extract which boosts SPF in our product to over 35 and is a strong antioxidant which is used by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass.
Xanthan gum is thickening agent that also has cytoprotective properties for skin cells.
Beta Glucan is also a very powerful antioxidant which quenches free radicals produced by the UV light from the sun on your skin.
]]>UVA rays are the deeper, penetrating rays that are now known as the most dangerous form of UV light coming from the sun. These rays are more responsible for DNA damage leading to aging, wrinkling, and eventually basal cancer cells and/or melanoma.
UVB rays are the shorter rays that cause reddening of the skin and eventually sunburn. This means that if a sunscreen protects from UVB rays, but not UVA rays, the user will still be susceptible to DNA damage even though no burning occurs.
SPF is the "sun protection factor" which indicates that a product provides 30 times the number of minutes it takes for your skin alone to turn "pink" or "red". For example, that means that a caucasian of European decent who would turn pink in about 15 minutes of direct sunlight without sunscreen - using a SPF 30 sunscreen they should receive 450 minutes of protection - or 7 ½ hours - as prevention from beginning to burn. Therefore, SPF 10 and SPF 100 are supposed to provide essentially the same percent UVB protection for the first 150 minutes - or 2 ½ hours.
3rd Rock Sunblock is a proven broad spectrum sunscreen lotion that essentially eliminates UVA penetration below the first layers of the skin without providing ANY toxic substances (such as avobenzone - a known endocrine disrupter).
More on Sun ProtectionI came across Nutrasporin Silver Gel ointment from 3rd Rock Essentials earlier this year. I was attracted to it because of its natural healing properties, and that fact that it is non-antibiotic and non-petroleum. It worked great on cuts and scratches and even cleared up small psoriasis spots.
Two months ago, my son burned himself when he accidentally touched his arm against the a hot lawn mower exhaust. Burns are terrible. They hurt much more than a cut and they take a long time to heal. I know, I've had my share of them.
My mother used to put petroleum jelly on burns so the skin would stay moist. It didn't do much for the healing though. I had heard of silver topical burn ointments and figured I would try Nutrasporin Silver Gel since it is silver-based.
I carefully coated the burn with Nutrasporin natural ointment. I lightly wrapped it before bed and over the next week applied it three times a day. After one week there was only a small scab and after two weeks it was gone. Today, there is not even a scar.
I was impressed. After seeing these results, I have to say that Nutrasporin Silver Gel is a must have for all medicine cabinets.
]]>Nano is controversial – we don’t use nano sized ZnO because we are concerned with the potential for absorption into the blood stream through the skin pores. There is some body of evidence that this can occur and if so it may present issues for those exposed to other heavy metals and cause complexing to occur. Even though we fully believe that the science regarding the effects of nano-sized ZnO is not fully vetted and there is still much that needs to be studied, we chose to use a larger diameter sized ZnO particle system which then grows even larger during chelation with amino acids. We do sacrifice some aesthetics due to whitening/ghosting initially – by using the larger sized ZnO particles – but have erred on the side of safety.
Our product is glycerin based and if you rub it in sufficiently (between your hands first them on your body) you will find that we are actually less whitening and more aesthetically pleasing than any of the competitors that are using Nano as their only active ingredient.
Sunscreens fit into one of two categories – mineral and chemical with the most common ones on the US market being in the latter. These products typically include a combination of two to six active ingredients (oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and octinoxate) known to penetrate the skin and cause allergic reactions, with many of them being potentially toxic to the reproductive system.
To the contrary, mineral sunscreens are made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and generally rate better than their chemical counterparts in terms of safety. According to the Environmental Working Group, mineral sunscreens are stable in sunlight, protect from both types of ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB) and typically do not contain any potentially harmful additives.
I think I know a thing or two about sunscreen given that I have lived in Phoenix for over ten years, a place where the sun shines an average of 299 days out of the year. I am constantly testing safe and effective products with SPF to slather all over myself and my kids, and out of all the ones I have tried(and trust me – there were many!) I can honestly say that I found a new favorite with the 3rd Rock Sun Block.
Over the last two weeks, I have been applying the "aromatherapeutic" variety (which has a faint but pleasant medicinal smell; also available in "unscented") every morning on my arms and decotellage before taking on the day. I am happy to report that this broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection sunscreen lotion is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy white film on the skin. It is neither greasy nor sticky and a little goes a long way. Reef safe and water resistant for up to 80 minutes, I have also worn it to two pool parties and after a couple of hours of being in and out of the water, my skin was well protected without any signs of redness or irritation from the sun or the product.
