A month ago, I asked you—“Why do you feel you need the Sun Elixir Face with Zinc?”
A small batch is available only in the summer months.
It’s a question that visits me every summer. And each time, I pause. Not because zinc is unkind—especially in the gentle, non-nano form we use for the Sun Elixir body with Zinc.
Due to its large particles, it rests on the surface, never crossing into the sacred beneath the skin. Combined with our Sun Elixir, it is absolutely a safe option when a shield may be needed. But I worry that shielding your face too soon might interrupt the ancient dialogue between your skin and the sun—a communion older than memory. Our bodies know how to greet the light, build their own resilience, glow in harmony with the seasons, and absorb the sun’s gift of vitamin D without fear. Healthy skin does not ask for sunscreen. It listens, adapts, and deepens in strength beneath the warmth.
But your replies revealed something tender: not all skin is ready—yet. Some of you are just beginning, shedding years of disconnect, gently moving toward balance, toward skin that remembers how to live in harmony with light, with air, with itself.
And in this in-between, this sacred transition, there may be moments where a soft shield is needed—not forever, but just long enough to restore trust between your skin and the sun.
I see you, and I am here to walk with you through this unfolding. And so, I’ve chosen to offer a small batch—a seasonal gift, born of your voices in this moment in time. It will only be available during the summer months.
I would like to go through every reason you felt this was needed. I'll help guide you with thoughtful steps and gentle practices to help strengthen your skin so that, over time, it may no longer need this kind of protection.
Let me begin with the one that stirred the deepest fear in your replies:
Skin cancer
Cancer is not a stranger to me. I have walked its long corridors beside those I love—my mother, my sister— through shadowed days and quiet battles. Cancer and I, we know each other intimately.
A single cell in isolation becomes cancer and destroys the entire body.
In its isolation and sense of loneliness, not realizing it is a part of a greater organism, it starts to fail to be able to make its own energy. So, it draws energy from other sources. A tumour is a golf size ball, and yet with that tiny body in its loneliness in its sense of disconnect, it sucks a human body dry.
Wholeness prevents cancer, not sunscreen.
And this research confirms it: Despite the billions poured into sunscreen development, rates of skin cancer have not gone down.
How can this be?
With all our advancements and all our protection, why is the outcome unchanged? Perhaps it's because we’re addressing the symptom, not the source—shielding the surface without asking what’s happening beneath. The research confirms that sunscreen destabilizes and alters the skin microbiome in harmful ways, interfering with our immune health, fighting infections, and— very counter-intuitively—INCREASING the risk of skin cancer by stifling the effects of beneficial bacteria and yeasts that protect against cancer-causing oxidation!
Another research shows that the skin microbiome is instrumental in protecting the body from pathogens or infection, strengthening the immune system, reducing the risk of skin disorders.
A healthy, whole microbiome protects you, not an umbrella.
That's why my first recommendation to every human at any age is to use the flow set to improve the health of your skin microbiome. We can not expect protection if we don't feed our skin, and yes, someone who has a history of skin cancer can use the Sun Elixir Face with Zinc next to flow set during summer months as he/she becomes whole again.
Children:
Some of you were concerned about children. I admit, my vision for them may seem extreme. To me, Children are pure blank canvases, not yet painted with the noise of the world. I dream of wild meadows instead of classrooms, sunlight in their hair instead of blue screens in their eyes. A life where their bodies are not confined by the fluorescent lights of schools or sterilised halls of hospitals, but nourished by sky, soil, and silence.
I do not see them as fragile. No—I see them as powerhouses of wisdom and vitality. They are pure. It is not their fragile nature that needs protecting, but their truth that needs preserving. Too often, it is the fears of parents, the inherited anxieties of a world grown distant from nature, from the sun that presses down on them and kills their wild brilliance.
Children do not need our constant protection—they need our courage to let them live freely, to trust their strength, and to remember that wholeness is their birthright. So, I am going to recommend the same thing. Improve the health of their microbiome with the flow set just like you use on yourself, and don't ever let them hear a word that sun is scary. Our beliefs shape our biology.
People who work under the sun and beach holidays:
Yes, I admit, there are moments when the skin may need a gentle hand. So, at least the Sun Elixir Face with Zinc won't destroy the microbiome that you worked to build the whole year. It will only shield the extreme light. I do use my Sun Elixir Body on my beach holidays and now I will add the Sun Elixir Face with Zinc—not as a habit, but as a conscious choice.
So, a safe option, a small batch, is here and only available during summer moments. It took me 2.5 years to agree. Well, I admit I am not one to surrender easily :). But I am happy that at least a safe option is now here for all of us.
I see you not as strangers but as family. I don't think strangers would write love letters as you do to me every day in order notes or replies to my newsletters. You have no idea how you make me feel when I read them. My dream is to open up a shop where I can see your faces. And when that day arrives, don’t be afraid if I hold you close, I’m a cuddler by nature :).
with all my love,
Ezgi
