Navigate sun protection with ease. Decode the battle of chemical vs. mineral sunscreens. Make informed choices for safer sun-kissed skin.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is produced by the sun and is a recognised causative factor in photo-ageing, and the development of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. 1 Since the early 1900s, sunscreens have been developed to try to block the harmful effects of UV radiation and protect human skin. 2 Modern sunscreens contain a mixture of organic and inorganic ingredients that filter UV radiation.
"non-nano ingredients", that's the worst marketing bullshit term ever, especially on this sub. TLDR, don't SPRAY stuff that isn't good to ingest or eat or breathe. Most chemicals are bad to ingest, but fine externally. Apply sunscreen manually, don't spray it. Also TIL, Zinc Oxide works immediately, unlike more "traditional" sunscreens
