儿童面部矿物防晒霜

的态度 sunscreens do not contain any ecotoxic chemical filters such as octinoxate or oxybenzone (benzophenone-3), which have been banned in some parts of the United States due to their harmful effects on fish and corals.

As always, we prefer ingredients of plant and mineral origin. That is why our sunscreens all have 非纳米氧化锌 as their active ingredient and proudly bear the EWG VERIFIED™ seal.

T在这里 are two types of UV filters: chemical and physical.

Chemical filters use active ingredients that get absorbed by the skin to block UV rays and protect the skin.

Physical (or mineral) filters create a physical barrier on the skin to block UV rays.

According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), zinc oxide is considered to be the 安全st physical filter.

SPF indicates the amount of UVB rays blocked by a sunscreen. spf30可以阻挡97.4%的UVB射线，而spf50可以阻挡98%的UVB射线. As you can see, the difference is relatively small. Although the numbers increase, your degree of protection isn’t significantly better. In fact, the difference between SPF 30 and 50 is minimal—SPF 50 only blocks an extra 0.6%的UVB辐射.

阻挡UVB射线的百分比

• SPF 15* 93%
• 防晒系数30 97,4%
• SPF 50 98%
• SPF 60 98,3%

*Health Canada recommends a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15.

而非常高的spf值并非没有风险. They give people the impression that they are extremely well protected, 所以他们倾向于花更多的时间在阳光下. 然而, SPF值不随时间变化, but rather indicates the proportion of blocked sun rays. This is why we have to re-apply sunscreen every two hours, 不管SPF值是多少, 有效地保护皮肤.

我们的 sunscreens are partially water resistant because some of their ingredients, 包括氧化锌, 自然排斥水.

然而, we prefer not to label our sunscreens as such because after they are exposed to water, they will no longer provide protection that is as effective.

因此, we recommend reapplying our sunscreen at least every 2 hours, 游泳或出汗过多后.

While titanium dioxide is often used in mineral sunscreens, it only provides partial UV protection. Zinc oxide, on the other hand, offers broad-spectrum cover年龄 (UVA and UVB). According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), zinc oxide is the soundest sunscreen choice.

Yes, our sunscreens are all made with 非纳米氧化锌.

In addition to being a mineral sunscreen made with zinc oxide, the sunscreen for sensitive skin is fragrance-free, dermatologist tested and enriched with 1% colloidal oatmeal. Colloidal oat is a natural medicinal ingredient recognized by Health Canada for skin care purposes.

Oats protect the skin barrier and help relieve symptoms caused by eczema and skin irritations. It also features the NEA (National Eczema Association) Seal of Acceptance™ logo, certifying that it is free of ingredients unsuitable for sensitive skin.

It is true that the whitening effect can be related to the size of the zinc particles. We put a lot of effort into choosing the right particle size for our physical solar filter.

It was a great challenge to find the right balance between application performance and particle size, and thus offer minimal whitening of the skin and maximum protection. We are very proud of the result and have had great comments from our customers!
