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

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

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

Yes, it is. SPF… and the following number indicate how long the cream provides protection from the SUN’S HARMFUL UVA and UVB rays, i.e., how long one can stay in the sun without getting burned. Generally, 1 SPF equals 10-15 minutes. For people with fairer and more sensitive skin, this time may be even less. However, no SPF offers 100% protection from 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 the SPF size, as wind, seawater, and sand can reduce the protective effect of sunscreen.

Why prefer mineral filters to chemical filters?

Sunscreens with chemical filters contain chemical compounds as sun protection agents, which are absorbed by the skin and can damage it. Sunscreens for babies and children also contain chemical filters. 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 well-known chemical sun protection filters and their negative properties apart from sun protection:

• octocrylene – when this chemical comes into contact with UV light, it absorbs rays and produces oxygen radicals which can damage cells and cause mutations. It is easily absorbed by the skin and can remain in the body for a long time. Additionally, it can be toxic to the environment.
• oxybenzone – causes skin allergies. Destroys corals. Affects people at a hormonal level affecting estrogen production in women and testosterone production in men.
• homosalate – can damage DNA and hormones.
• octinoxate – can 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 on the skin due to the filters that protect against harmful sun rays such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. The larger the particle diameter, the more likely a white layer will form on the skin. The formation of a white layer also depends on other ingredients of the cream. If different oils are used in the cream, it is easier to apply to the skin and less likely to form a white layer (a very thin layer still remains). However, this same white layer protects you and your children from sunburn and harmful rays. It is important to shake mineral sunscreens before use so that all oils and filters mix! Even if the cream is in a tube, still shake it!
