AN INTRODUCTION
UV FILTERS
Sun factor filters are normally divided into two categories, mineral filters and synthetic filters. Each are often compared against each other.
Mineral filters are made from inorganic natural ingredients titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Synthetic filters are made from synthetic chemicals. Both filter variations stay on the surface of the skin and absorb about 85% of the UV energy and the remaining 15% is scattered.
We use synthetic filters in our products because they are more user friendly, lighter and don’t leave a white cast on your skin. We have been careful in our selection of filters and use modern combinations for a broad UV protection.
