The Ordinary Mineral UV Filters SPF 30 With Antioxidants (Sunscreen) (50ml)

Broad Spectrum SPF 30 UVA/UVB Protection

The Ordinary range of Mineral UV Filters formulas’ offer SPF protection along with antioxidant, hydration, and anti-irritant support.

The Mineral UV Filter formulas avoid the use of any nanoparticles. Instead, a refined dispersion of micronized ZnO and TiO2 in flexible, high-volatility, non-comedogenic silicones allows the formulations to remain extremely lightweight by optimizing the amount of the blocking agents. Our formulation uses mainly ZnO for its protective effects (because in addition to reflecting/refracting light, ZnO is actually also able to absorb UV rays without creating oxygen radicals) and the supporting TiO2 that it contains is only in rutile form (no anatase form of TiO2 is used at all since it's an aggressive producer of free radicals).

The technologies shared in Mineral UV Filter Formulas’ are:

Bio-Active Antioxidant NetworkA potent combination that scavenges and neutralizes free radicals, minimizes the intensity of UV radiation penetrating the skin, visibly protects biological membranes and supports the skin response to UV exposure.

Bio-Sugar ComplexA unique blend of hygroscopic molecules with Multi-layer coverage providing both short and long-term hydration and also naturally increases skin’s own capacity to hold water.

skin Identical LipidsLipids that visibly restore the compromised barrier and prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

Tasmanian PepperberryRich in flavanones, anthocyanins, and minerals, this active technology helps to calm stressed skin, acting almost immediately.

Sun protection measures: Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a Broad Spectrum SPF value of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures including: limit time in the sun, especially from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.; and wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses.

Patch test: Patch tests are an easy way to help predict if you may experience a negative initial reaction to a new product. It is recommended to perform a patch test before incorporating any new product into your regimen. The brand has outlined a general method for conducting your own patch test below based on the type of product.

-Apply a small amount of the product onto a clean area of skin on the upper forearm.
-Keep the area dry.
-If the product has a specified duration of use, rinse off after this time has elapsed. Otherwise rinse off after 24 hours.
-If any redness, burning, itching, blistering or irritation is observed at any time throughout the test, do not use the product.
