Zinc Oxide
Zinc oxide is a non-chemical, mineral sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. It helps to protect the skin from the harmful effects of photo-aging, which are caused by prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays. Zinc oxide is non-irritating, hypoallergenic, and safe for sensitive skin, making it a popular ingredient in sunscreens.
Titanium Dioxide
Titanium dioxide is another naturally occurring mineral used in physical sunscreens. It has a high refractive index, which allows it to absorb and scatter UV light effectively, offering protection against UV radiation. Titanium dioxide is also known for its resistance to discoloration under UV light, ensuring long-lasting performance in sun protection. Like zinc oxide, it is a safe and non-irritating option for sensitive skin.
Octyl Methoxycinnamate (7.5%)
Also known as Octinoxate, Octyl Methoxycinnamate is a UV filter commonly used in sunscreens to absorb UV-B rays. It helps prevent sunburn and protects the skin from the harmful effects of UV-B radiation, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the sunscreen in protecting against photo-aging and sun damage.
Color Revealing Pigments (Color Reveal Technology)
Color Reveal Technology utilizes a system of encapsulated pigments that are coated with iron oxides and titanium dioxide. These pigments remain neutral when encapsulated, keeping their original color hidden. Once applied to the skin, the encapsulation dissolves, allowing the pigments to adjust and match the skin’s natural tone. This technology helps create a customized, natural-looking color that adapts to individual skin tones, providing a more even and flawless appearance.
