SPF 30

SPF 30 is a tinted, 100% mineral, moisturizing skin cream – formulated with completely pure mineral zinc oxide, without nanoparticles and without the addition of chemical filters. Also known as sun blocker – sunblock, sun lotion or sunscreen. A photoprotective product for topical application to the skin that helps protect against sunburn and prevent skin cancer. It has strong and effective broad-spectrum protection against UV rays.

For people with sensitive skin, dermatologists recommend mineral sunscreens, also called physical sunscreens. They are suitable for broad-spectrum ultraviolet protection. The primary difference between these sunscreens is the active ingredients they contain. If the active ingredient in a sunscreen is zinc oxide, it is a mineral, physical sunscreen. Chemical sunscreens do not contain titanium dioxide or zinc oxide and usually block only one type of UV light.

Everyone. Using sunscreen can help prevent skin cancer by protecting against the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Anyone can get skin cancer, regardless of age, gender, or skin tone. Sunscreen can also help prevent premature skin aging, such as wrinkles and age spots, caused by overexposure to unprotected UV radiation.

Dermatologists recommend using a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, which blocks 97% of the sun’s UVB rays. Higher-numbered SPFs block slightly more of the sun’s UVB rays, but no sunscreen can block 100% of the sun’s UVB rays. It’s also important to remember that high-numbered SPFs last just as long as low-numbered SPFs. A high SPF doesn’t allow for additional time spent outdoors without reapplying. Since only about 20-50% of the amount of sunscreen is often applied, applying a high-SPF sunscreen can help compensate for this underapplication, but it’s a good idea to check the chemical composition. Sunscreen should be reapplied approximately every two hours when outdoors, even on cloudy days and after swimming or sweating.

SPF 30 sunscreen can be applied every day to exposed skin when outdoors. The sun emits harmful UV rays all year round. Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of the sun’s harmful UV rays can penetrate clouds.

Most adults need at least 30 ml of sunscreen – about the amount of a shot glass – to completely cover the skin not covered by clothing. Depending on your body size, you may need more sunscreen to protect exposed skin.

• Don’t forget to apply it to the tops of your feet, neck, ears and top of your head.
• Apply sunscreen to dry skin 15 minutes before going outside.
• Reapply sunscreen about every two hours or after swimming or sweating, according to the instructions on the bottle.
• Skin cancer can also occur on the lips. To protect your lips, you can apply a Multi-Stick lip balm or lipstick that contains sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

Sunlight is made up of two types of harmful rays that reach the Earth – UVA and UVB rays. Overexposure to either can lead to skin cancer. In addition to causing skin cancer, here’s what each of these rays does:

• UVA rays (or aging rays) can prematurely age your skin, causing wrinkles and age spots, and can pass through window glass.
• UVB rays (or burning rays) are the main cause of sunburn and are blocked by window glass.

Visible sunlight can increase skin darkening, also known as hyperpigmentation, especially in people with darker skin tones. To protect ourselves from visible light, we can seek shade, wear sun-protective clothing, and apply a tinted SPF 30 sunscreen.
