In addition, our non-mineral lotions and sprays have the highest EWG ranking and they are formulated with over 70% certified organic ingredients. However, you should know that our Classic Collection only uses chemical actives that are FDA approved and are reef friendly (as of 2018). We know the word “chemical” gets a bad rap, and you might be flinching at the idea of slathering your body with chemicals. For this reason, when using a chemical-based sunscreen, we recommend waiting 20-30 minutes after application before going into the sun. Your skin needs about 20-30 minutes for a chemical-based sunscreen to fully absorb into the skin. These active ingredients absorb into the skin and dissipate harmful UVA and UVB rays. This allows us to use fewer traditional-and potentially irritating-chemical actives. At COOLA, we incorporate antioxidant-rich Plant Protection® into our sunscreens, which is a selection of plant-based ingredients including Algae and Red Raspberry Seed Oil that help naturally boost our formulas’ efficacy. Not sure which kind you use? Let’s break down some sun science.Ĭhemical sunscreens, depending on the brand, use a variety of active “chemical” ingredients. Whether it is a lotion, stick or spray, sunscreens use one of two forms of protection: chemical or mineral. The answer to this question depends on the type of sunscreen you use. MYTH: You must apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going into the sun. With suncare comes questions and we are here to help so your skin is the healthiest it can be! Part two of our mythbuster series reveals how long you should really wait after applying sunscreen before going into the sun. Many of the chemicals still used in sunscreens today can disrupt hormones and cause skin allergies, but these products have passed through loopholes from prior lax regulation they wouldn't get to market if tried under today's more strict regulations (which still don't compare to the standards in Europe).If you’re keeping up with COOLA SPF Mythbusters, you know that 90% of visible aging and skin-related illnesses are caused from overexposure to the sun (read part one here). sunscreens allow about three times more UVA rays to transfer through skin compared to European sunscreens. After analyzing more than 800 products on the market, the EWG found that nearly every sunscreen reviewed passes the FDA test, but that about half of them would not offer enough UVA protection to be sold in Europe. UVA damage can be more subtle than that of UVB because it doesn't cause visible burning, but it can contribute to the development of melanoma. It's widely known that Europe sets a higher bar for sunscreen products sold to customers, requiring UVA protection to rise in proportion with SPF numbers, which, for both the U.S. But we have some fairly sobering news to share that comes from the 2017 edition of the Environmental Working Group's annual report on sunscreen (its eleventh annual report of this kind)-nearly 75% of products on the market don't work because they either don't provide adequate protection from the sun's harmful rays, or they contain toxic ingredients. As soon as high sun hits in the summer (and hopefully year-round too), you're probably accustomed to the very healthy habit of applying sunscreen.
