Why is Sunscreen/Sunblock Important?
Sunscreen is essential for protecting your skin from harmful UV radiation, which can lead to sunburn, premature ageing, and an increased risk of skin cancer. UV rays can penetrate the skin even on cloudy days, making daily application crucial, regardless of the weather. Sunscreen helps maintain skin health by preventing damage to collagen and elastin, keeping your skin youthful and radiant. Additionally, it can help prevent hyperpigmentation and dark spots, promoting a more even skin tone. Incorporating sunscreen into your daily skincare routine is a simple yet effective way to safeguard your skin and enhance its overall appearance.
How Does Sunscreen Protect From UV Rays?
Sunscreen protects the skin from UV rays through active ingredients that either absorb or reflect sunlight. There are two main types of UV radiation: UVA and UVB. UVA rays penetrate deeply, contributing to premature ageing and skin cancer, while UVB rays primarily cause sunburn. Chemical sunscreens contain ingredients that absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat, which is then released from the skin. Physical sunscreens, on the other hand, contain mineral ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide that sit on the skin's surface and physically block and reflect UV rays. By applying sunscreen regularly, you create a protective barrier that helps prevent damage, ensuring healthier, more resilient skin.

What Ingredients Do We Use In Our Sunscreen?
Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide
Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are key ingredients in our sunscreens that create a protective barrier on the skin, effectively shielding it from harmful UV rays and blue light up to 400nm. These mineral filters reflect and scatter UV radiation, providing broad-spectrum protection without irritating sensitive skin, making them ideal for all skin types.
Acetyl Glucosamine
Acetyl glucosamine not only provides moisture but also brightens dull skin, preventing it from getting darker when exposed to sun. This ingredient works synergistically to improve skin texture while contributing to sun protection. Its hydrating properties help maintain skin's suppleness, making it a valuable addition to any sunblock formulation.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, offers a multitude of skin benefits. It helps brighten the complexion, reduces redness, and has anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Additionally, niacinamide aids in moisture retention, supporting the skin’s barrier function and contributing to an even, healthy skin tone when used as an ingredient in our sunblocks.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is renowned for its ability to lock in moisture and reduce transepidermal water loss. By maintaining optimal hydration levels, it helps keep the skin plump and supple. This ingredient is particularly beneficial in sunscreen formulations, ensuring that skin remains hydrated and comfortable throughout sun exposure.
Plant Extracts
Plant extracts provide a rich source of nutrients and antioxidants that help prevent premature skin ageing. They soothe sensitivity and protect the skin from environmental stressors. By incorporating these extracts, our sunscreen not only protects against UV damage but also nourishes the skin, enhancing its resilience and overall health.
