Physical Sunscreen VS Chemical Sunscreen
There are two types of sunscreen: physical and chemical. Both have their own unique properties and benefits, but knowing the difference can help you determine which sunscreen is best for your skin.
Physical Sunscreen
How it works: It uses minerals that sit on top of the skin and reflect away UV rays.
Ideal for: All skin types and conditions, including sensitive and suitable for a post treatment SPF.
Chemical Sunscreen
How it works: It uses ingredients that absorb and transform UV rays into heat.
Ideal for: Most skin types and conditions and for those with active lifestyles.
Zinc Oxide formula
Invisible Physical Defence SPF 30 uses Zinc Oxide to defend against the suns UV rays. Zinc Oxide is one of the most effective sunscreen agents that provides broad defence against UVA and UVB rays. It is completely photo-stable, which means it does not lose power or react while reflecting UV Light. Zinc Oxide is also known to defend blue light, making this sunscreen super ideal for those who are concerned about blue light damage to skin.
FAQ's
Does this product really blend to invisible on all skin tones? Why does it come out the tube white?
Yes, this product does blend to invisible on all skin tones, even darker ones. It comes out the tube white because of the ingredient Zinc Oxide, but the white appearance dissipates as you blend onto the skin.
Will this product look invisible and wear well under make-up
Yes! With all sunscreens, please make sure you wait until your sunscreen feels ‘dry’ before applying make-up.
Why is this product only SPF 30 and not a higher SPF?
For this product Dermalogica wanted to provide the highest SPF possible while maintaining the best wearability. To provide a higher SPF they had to compromise wearability and they wanted this product to blend to invisible on all skin tones. Dermatologists typically recommend using sunscreens with an SPF of at least 30, which blocks 97 percent of UVB rays and SPF 50 blocks 98 percent of rays, so the difference in UV rays being blocked is only 1 percent. No sunscreen blocks all UV Rays.
Is this product replacing any Dermalogica products?
Yes, it is replacing the Super Sensitive Shield SPF 30.
