Biossance Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen

Product Information

However, the amount made and retained in the skin decreases over time. It peaks in our teens and then starts to decline in our 20’s, leaving skin rough, dry, and vulnerable. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) measures a product’s ability to protect your skin from UVB rays. It’s not meant to determine how long you can stay in the sun without getting burned. Most dermatologists recommend SPF 30 since higher SPFs don’t provide much more sun protection. For example, while SPF 30 sunscreen protects against 97% of the sun’s burning rays, SPF 50 only moves the needle to 98%. And another 5-star Biossance Sunscreen review says, “Wonderful — not greasy yet moisturizing!! This left no white cast either on my skin.”

And a similar Biossance Sunscreen review says, “I used this product twice; both times I had facial swelling and horrible itching and redness.” Our Verdict Powered by proprietary fermentation technology to bio-design new high-performing ingredients, BIOSSANCE is committed to researching and developing skin care that encourages a positive planet while enforcing clean chemistry. As for the disadvantages, Zinc Oxide is also not cosmetically elegant. It leaves a disturbing whitish tint on the skin , although , according to a 2000research paper by Dr. Pinnell, it's slightlyless white than TiO2. Still, it's white and disturbing enough to use Zinc Oxide nanoparticles more and more often. The Biossance Sunscreen — formally known as Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen — is guaranteed to protect the skin without leaving behind a white cast like most mineral sunscreens. Its lightweight texture blends into all skin tones, leaving a soft, dewy finish.It'salso highly stableand non-irritating. So much sothat Zinc Oxide also counts as a skin protectant and anti-irritant. It's also often used to treat skin irritationssuch as diaper rash. According to a publication in the journal Advances in Food and Nutrition Research , anticancer, antioxidant, detoxifying, skin hydrating, and emollient activities of both squalene and squalane have been reported both in animal models and in vitro environments. Before we get into the details, here’s the TL;DR if you just want to know whether or not Biossance Sunscreen is right for you. For example, one review says, “I had a bad reaction to this. I have combination skin, can be sensitive at times. I loved the way it felt on my skin at first. But after I stepped out in the sun my face turned so bad around my mouth and under my right eye. Had rashes.” Instead, she says, you should be using sun protection products with moisturizers in them. In other words, the shelf space that's traditionally been reserved for an a.m. moisturizer that's got SPF in it should be swapped, instead, for a sunscreen with moisturizing ingredients. Still with me? Since products that are marketed as sunscreen are subject to FDA regulations (which, as Dr. Gohara pointed out, moisturizers are not), you'll be sure you're getting the purported amount of SPF protection.
