Do ALPHANOVA SUN sunscreens protect the skin against both harmful UVA and UVB rays?

Yes. Alphanova Sun products provide perfect protection for the skin against both harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Is it possible to tan and get brown while using SPF50 sunscreen?

Yes, it is. SPF… and the subsequent number indicate how long the cream provides protection against the harmful UVA and UVB rays of the SUN, meaning how long one can stay in the sun without getting burnt. Generally, 1 SPF equals 10-15 minutes. For people with fairer and more sensitive skin, this time may be even less. However, no SPF blocks 100% of harmful rays. SPF50 blocks 98% of harmful rays, SPF30 blocks 97% of rays, SPF15 blocks 93% of rays. Despite this, it is recommended to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours, regardless of SPF size, as wind, seawater, and sand can reduce the protective effect of the sunscreen.

Why prefer mineral filters over chemical filters?

Sunscreens with chemical filters contain chemical compounds that absorb into the skin and can damage it. Chemical filters are also included in sunscreens for babies and children. Creams that are hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. There are also sunscreens that contain both chemical and mineral filters. Therefore, we always recommend delving into the ingredients before purchasing sunscreen.

The most known chemical sun protection filters and their negative properties in addition to sun protection:

• octocrylene – when this chemical comes into contact with UV light, it absorbs rays and generates oxygen radicals, which can damage cells and cause mutations. It easily absorbs into the skin and may remain in the body for a long time. Additionally, it can be toxic to the environment.
• oxybenzone – causes skin allergies. Damages corals. Affects humans on a hormonal level, impacting estrogen production in women and testosterone production in men.
• homosalate – can damage DNA and hormones.
• octinoxate – may cause allergies, dermatitis, and acne.

Why do mineral sunscreens leave a white layer on the skin? Do all mineral sunscreens leave a white layer?

Mineral sunscreens leave a white layer due to filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that protect against harmful sun rays. The larger the particle size, the more likely a white layer will appear on the skin. The occurrence of a white layer also depends on the other ingredients of the cream. If different oils are used in the cream, it is easier to apply to the skin, and the formation of a white layer is lessened (a very light layer still remains). However, this same white layer protects you and your children from sunburn and harmful rays. With mineral sunscreens, it’s crucial to shake the cream before using it so all the oils and filters mix! Even if the cream is in a tube, shake it as well!
