How to select an effective and safe sun-care product?

Look for physical sunscreen ingredients:

  • Zinc oxide (micronized)
  • Titanium dioxide

Avoid chemical sunscreen ingredients:

  • Homosalate
  • Octinoxate (Octylmethoxycinnamate)
  • Octisalate
  • Octocrylene
  • Oxybenzone

Avoid harmful chemical preservatives such as parabens, methylisothiazolinone (allergen of the year).

Look for additional functional ingredients that can enhance the effect of sun protection if possible, such as raspberry seed oil.

Additional anti-inflammatory effects from ingredients like vitamin B3 or leontopodium apinum extract will be a bonus add-on to the sun-care product.
