SunSense Sensitive Sun Lotion SPF 50+

Product Information

The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improveboth spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns. On Friday, 19th of August, it was confirmed that all SunSense SPF50+ products will be unavailable indefinitely. All in all,Titanium Dioxide is a famous sunscreen agent and for good reason, it gives broad spectrum UV protection (best at UVB and UVA II), it's highly stable, and it has a good safety profile. The main concernwith nanoparticles is that they are so tiny that they are absorbedinto the skin more than we want them (ideally sunscreen should remain on the surface of the skin). Triallist impressions: Goes on smoothly, good moisturiser; Felt sticky and oily, deteriorated over the day.

The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problemand the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. Triallist impressions: Silky, smooth, light, no smell, easy to apply; A bit oily and a little sticky. While sunscreen is a great start for protecting your face from UV damage, it's only one of several measures you should take.

However, if you do not like its origin or its heavy feeling or anything else about it, avoiding it has never been easier. Other than that, salt also works as an emulsion stabilizer inwater-in-oil emulsions, that is when water droplets are dispersed in the outer oil (or silicone) phase. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product.

It protects against UVB, UVA II, and UVA I almost uniformly, and is considered to be the broadestrange sunscreen available today. With better spreadability, less filters are needed to provide the same SPF, making the formula lighter and nicer to use and with improved water resistance, your protection will last that bit longer in the pool. There can be a tendency from many Australians to slop on some sunscreen and think they are protected all day long," says Paige Preston, National Skin Cancer Committee Cancer Council Australia. Triallist impressions: Easily absorbed, light, nice texture, mild scent, quite moisturising; Some thought it wasn't moisturising enough.The chemical composition of plant oils is more complex with many more possible allergens or irritatingcomponents, while mineral oil is simple, pureand sensitivity to it is extremely rare. All are broad spectrum – meaning they protect against UVA and UVB radiation – and all have been tested to the Australian standard for sunscreen. Triallist impressions: Quite moisturising, nice texture, looked fresh; Sticky, sunscreen smell, not moisturising enough. With the lips being the area of the body with the least layers of skin, then extra care should be taken all year round. Triallist comment: "Nice texture and relatively fragrance-free, did a reasonable job of moisturising.

The Cancer Council recommends we wear sun protection during the day when the UV index is 3 or above, which for much of Australia means all year round.The study concluded that" based on the animal and human data reported, along with the AAD recommendation, it would appear reasonable to conclude that mineral oil is noncomedogenic in humans. The latter one, the humectant property,issurprising and comes from the unique property ofricinoleic acid (the dominant fatty acid in castor oil) having an extra water-loving -OH group on its otherwise oil-loving fatty chain. The first main difference is that while TiO2 gives a nice broad spectrum protection, Zinc Oxide has an even nicerand even broader spectrum protection. The former one is common for oils and waxes and it means that it sits on top of the skin hindering water to evaporate out of the top layers. Triallist impressions: Smooth, silky, easy to apply, most liked the fragrance; A bit too heavy or oily for some, and some didn't like the fragrance.

The clear oily liquid that is the "cheap by-product" of refining crude oil and the one that gets a lot of heat for its poor provenance. All the silicones in theCyclomethicone mixture are volatile, meaning they evaporate from the skin or hair rather than stay on it. A multi-functional helper ingredient that's used mainly as a pigment carrier helping pigments in mineral sunscreens and color cosmetics to flow freely and evenly and not to clump. When compared to heavy-duty plant oil, extra virgin coconut oil, the two of them were equally efficient and safe as moisturizers in treating xerosis, a skin condition connected to very dry skin. It’s an ingredient whose safety hasn’t been questioned so far by anyone (at least not that we know about).While we expected moisturisers with added sunscreen – being more 'cosmeticky' – would rate better than the sunscreens, there actually wasn't much difference, and the products we liked best include two positioned as sunscreens. Triallist impressions: Performed well as a sunscreen, stayed on despite sweat; Very thick and sticky, difficult to apply, made skin white, smells like sunscreen. It's a physical (or inorganic) sunscreenthat has a lot in common with fellow inorganic sunscreen Titanium Dioxide(TiO2) but a couple of things make it superior even toTiO2. A physical/inorganic sunscreen with the broadest spectrum (UVB and UVA II, less good at UVA I) protection available today.
