Choosing a Natural Sunscreen
- Richard Briggs, DC
Are you ready to choose the right product for you? This checklist will help you out:
- Look at the active ingredients. You're specifically looking for zinc oxide, either alone or with titanium dioxide. Zinc oxide gives broad-spectrum SPF, so it will protect you against both UVA and UVB rays.
- Choose an SPF of 30 or higher. You'll want your SPF to be at least a 30. This ensures you get enough protection for a reasonable period of time.
- Take a look at the other ingredients if you're looking for all-natural. There is no set standard for what constitutes "natural" for either cosmetics or for over-the-counter drugs. So, you'll have to do a little investigating. Just because a sunscreen has natural active ingredients does not in itself make the sunscreen 100% natural.
- Decide if you want a micronized or non-nanoparticles product. A product labeled micronized absorbs more fully and leaves little opacity on the skin. On the other hand, non-micronized (non-nanoparticles) products will leave a white film across the surface of the skin that you can't rub in.
With these in mind, choosing what is best for you will be a little easier!
