Frequently Asked Questions
What are the safest UV filters for sensitive or acne-prone skin? +
Non-nano Zinc Oxide is widely considered the gold standard for sensitive, rosacea, and acne-prone skin. It is non-comedogenic, possesses natural soothing anti-inflammatory properties, and does not penetrate into living epidermal layers.
Why are Oxybenzone and Octinoxate flagged as dangerous? +
Oxybenzone and Octinoxate act as systemic endocrine disruptors in human tissue studies and have been demonstrated to cause bleaching and DNA mutation in coral larvae, prompting environmental bans in Hawaii, Key West, and Palau.
What does PA++++ mean on Asian sunscreen labels? +
The PA rating system measures Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) protection against aging UVA rays. PA++++ indicates an extremely high PPD score of 16 or higher, representing maximum defense against sun spots and collagen degradation.
