FAQ
Why should I use SPF every day?
Daily sunscreen use protects your skin from UV rays that cause sunburn, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. Even if it’s cloudy or you’re indoors by a window, UV rays can still affect your skin. Using sunscreen every day keeps your skin healthy and prevents long-term damage.
How often should I reapply sunscreen?
You should reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially if you’re sweating or in the water. Mineral sunscreen provides a physical barrier, but it can wear off over time, so reapplying keeps your skin protected from sun damage all day.
What’s the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen?
Mineral sunscreen sits on top of your skin and reflects UV rays, using natural ingredients like zinc oxide. Chemical sunscreen, on the other hand, absorbs UV rays and transforms them into heat, using synthetic ingredients. Mineral sunscreens are generally better for sensitive skin and the environment because they don’t contain harmful chemicals that can irritate your skin or harm coral reefs.
Is mineral sunscreen safe for the ocean?
Yes! Mineral SPF is considered reef-safe because it doesn’t contain chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which can harm coral reefs and marine life. Choosing a reef-safe mineral sunscreen helps protect our oceans, so it’s a great choice for the beach.
Is mineral sunscreen good for acne-prone skin?
Yes! Mineral sunscreens, especially those with zinc oxide, are great for acne-prone skin because they’re non-comedogenic (meaning they won’t clog pores) and often contain fewer ingredients that might irritate your skin. Zinc oxide even has calming properties that can help reduce redness.
What SPF number should I use?
Dermatologists recommend using at least SPF 30 for effective protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
How much sunscreen should I apply to my face?
Use one to two pumps of sunscreen for your face as the last step of your morning skincare routine. Use less or add some moisturizer to help avoid a white cast. Apply more if you’re covering your neck or other exposed areas.
Does sunscreen go on before or after moisturizer?
Apply sunscreen after your moisturizer. If you’re using a mineral sunscreen, it will sit on top and protect your skin from the sun. For the best results, let your moisturizer absorb into your skin first, then apply your SPF.
Can I use mineral sunscreen if I have sensitive skin?
Absolutely. Mineral sunscreens are often better for sensitive skin because they don’t contain harsh chemicals that can cause irritation. Our SPF uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—they’re gentle on the skin and provide effective sun protection.
