Dermaviduals® Suncream SPF50 complies with the European Commission recommendation for a high level of protection. Creams with SPF50 provide about 98% protection from UVB radiation. In other words, they allow you to stay about 50 times longer in the sun before an erythema (sun burn) will develop. Please remember that excessive sun exposure is a serious health threat and the thermal radiation of the sun (infrared) is quite stressful for the skin. Therefore it is recommended to be moderate in the exposure of the skin to the heat of the sun even when wearing the protection of the sun screen.
Dermaviduals have chosen sun screen agents that when combined have the ability to absorb ultraviolet light over a wide range of wave lengths offering broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB radiation and have excellent photostability.
Sun protection is important for all skins but it's worth mentioning that exposure to the sun while acne is active or in the healing stage can increase the chance of scarring.
Wearing an SPF can help to prevent that.
Sun protection also prevents UV induced free radical damage and inflammation that can exacerbate the sumptoms of Rosacea.
Information on the sunscreens in this product:
Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate - also known as DHHB - a "new generation" sunscreen designed for high UVA protection and high photostability It gives sun protection in the whole UVA range (320-400nm) with peak protection at 354nm.
Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone - also known as UVAsorb heb. This is known as "super photo stable" and loses only 10% of it's SPF protection ability in 25 hours! In the world of sunscreen 2 hours is counted as photostable so 25 hours is quite considerable. It requires only low concentrations to achieve high SPF values. It protects in the UVB and UVA 11 range but not in the UVA 1 range with a peak protection at 310nm. It is water repellant and water resistant making this product suitable for use while involved in water sports.
Sodium phenylbenzimidazole sulfonate - a UVB filter with a peak protection at 306nm. It is photostable and can be used to protect the less stable UV filters such as Avobenzone. Most sunscreen agents are oil soluble but this is water soluble so helps to create a lighter textured product which is more user friendly.
Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane - also know as Avobenzone. Protects against the whole UVA range 310-400nm which includes both UVA 1 and UVA2 with a peak protection at 360nm. However it is not photostable and loses 35% of it's UV absorption capacity after just one hour which is why many sunscreens have to be applied regularly. However Dermaviduals combines it with other sunscreens which increases the photostability of this product.
