Sun Protection and the Secrets of Seventy One Percen
Did you know that the sun emits a spectrum of radiation, including invisible UV rays? Understanding sun protection is crucial for skin health. Let's delve into the secrets of sun protection and SeventyOne Percent's commitment to your skin and the environment.
The UV Spectrum and Skin Health: The sun's UV radiation is classified into UVA, UVB, and UVC. High exposure to UVA and UVB is harmful, contributing to skin cancers. Even on cloudy days, UV radiation is present, emphasizing the need for consistent sun protection.
SPF Demystified: SPF (Sun Protection Factor) measures protection against UVB. Contrary to common belief, SPF 50 doesn't mean 50 minutes of protection. It indicates the time it takes to sunburn compared to unprotected skin. An SPF 30 product blocks 96.7% of UVB, while SPF 50+ blocks 98.3%.
UVA's Role in Aging: UVA rays, responsible for skin aging, constitute 95% of UV rays. They damage elastin and collagen fibers, leading to wrinkles. Broad-spectrum sunscreens, protecting against both UVA and UVB, are essential to shield against the entire UV spectrum.
Sun Filters: Organic vs. Mineral: SeventyOne Percent ensures safety and effectiveness by incorporating both organic and non-nano mineral filters. Mineral filters, while giving a slight white effect, are not necessarily superior; their safety depends on factors like size.
Sustainability at SeventyOne Percent: Sustainability is at the core of SeventyOne Percent's ethos. From water-resistant formulas to recyclable tubes made from recycled plastic, the brand actively works to reduce its environmental footprint.
