Recognised as an essential step in skincare routines, Physical Sunscreen shields your skin from ageing UVA and skin-damaging UVB rays, offering comprehensive broad-spectrum UV defence.
Physical Sunscreen is formulated with fine mineral particles that rest on the skin's surface, creating a protective barrier against detrimental UV rays. Unlike its chemical counterparts, physical sunscreen doesn't penetrate into the skin, so you can feel confident knowing that your skin is both safe and protected.
Physical Sunscreen goes above and beyond to shield your skin from a wide spectrum of UV rays that can cause damage and contribute to ageing. Its gentle, non-absorbing nature reduces irritation risk, especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
A clinical study explored a physical sunscreen's effectiveness on sensitive skin. The findings revealed minimal observable or self-reported irritation, underlining its advantages for people with delicate skin (2). Moreover, the results demonstrated enhancements in skin dryness and scaling, hinting at an added moisturising effect (2).
Numerous studies confirm that using high-level protection sunscreen not only safeguards against cancer-causing UV damage but also prevents the development of age-related skin concerns over time (1). This makes Physical Sunscreen an essential tool for promoting healthier and more youthful skin.
Physical Sunscreen is a perfect (and important) choice for all skin types. It‘s especially beneficial for anyone who wants to protect their skin from the damaging effects of UV and sun damage, while also benefiting from the moisturising effects of physical sunscreen. Additionally, it serves as an exceptional alternative for individuals with sensitive skin, who might experience irritation with the use of chemical sunscreen products.
