What To Look For In A Sunscreen

Sunscreen Essentials – The Must Have’s

• ‘Broad Spectrum SPF’ marked on the front of the package label
• SPF 30 or higher
• at least one of these active ingredients:
  • Zinc Oxide 5% or more, with Octocrylene
  • Titanium Dioxide 5% or more
  • Ecamsule (Mexoryl SX) 3%
  • Avobenzone 3%

Tips:

• Zinc Oxide is better than Titanium Dioxide.
• Ecamsule and Avobenzone should be together (ideally).
• Avobenzone should be stabilized. Look for Helioplex or liposome encapsulation.

Sunscreen Is Even Better With These Additional Ingredients

1. Vitamin A
2. Vitamin C
3. Vitamin E

Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E are fundamental antioxidants.
