Common Questions
What does "broad-spectrum" mean?
The broad-spectrum test measures a product’s ultraviolet A (UVA) protection relative to its ultraviolet B (UVB) protection. Sunscreens that pass this test may be labeled as “Broad-Spectrum SPF (value)” on the front of their label. For broad-spectrum sunscreens, SPF values also indicate the amount or magnitude of overall protection. Only broad-spectrum sunscreens with an SPF value of 15 or higher can claim to reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging if used as directed with other sun protection measures.
What is the difference between Chemical Sunscreen and Mineral Sunscreen?
Chemical sunscreens (like UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46) use chemical filters that help protect your skin from UVA & UVB rays. Chemical sunscreens contain ingredients that absorb these rays before they reach your skin.
Mineral sunscreens (like UV Restore Broad Spectrum SPF 40) physically block UVA & UVB rays instead of absorbing them. Common ingredients in Mineral sunscreens are titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Mineral sunscreens tend to be better for sensitive skin, but are not well suited for those with a darker skin tone.
