Sunumbra Sunscreen. Dual interests in healthy living and the natural environment led Sunumbra’s creator, Susan Ingram, to extensive research into the benefits of natural and organic products. The discovery of a unique combination of plant extracts is the key ‘hidden secret’ to being able to substitute botanicals for the harmful chemical filters found in almost all sunscreens sold today. Sunumbra believes that you don’t have to destroy your skin with chemicals to avoid getting burnt by the sun – so it’s products are all natural, containing organic and wild sourced ingredients.
