Product Information

It’s not something new: it was introduced around 1950 and today it can be used up to 1% worldwide. It can be found in nature - in green tea - but the version used in cosmetics is synthetic. First, it’s important to know that your skin contains its own version of squalane known as squalene (note the e). Normal (well kind of - it's purified and deionized) water. Usually the main solvent in cosmetic products. Now that you know that Biossance Sunscreen doesn’t contain any chemicals that are harmful to your health, let’s take a look at the key ingredients in this formula and how they will benefit your skin.

Biossance Squalane and Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen 50ml

You may be aware that physical sunscreens like zinc oxide can leave that dreaded white cast after application. However, Biossance Sunscreen is formulated to blend in for all skin tones fast without leaving a trace. When it comes to sunscreen agents, Zinc Oxide ispretty much in aleague of its own. It's a physical (or inorganic) sunscreenthat has a lot in common with fellow inorganic sunscreen Titanium Dioxide(TiO2) but a couple of things make it superior even toTiO2.Other than having a good safety profile and being quite gentle to the skin it has some other advantages too. It can be used in many types of formulations as it has great thermal stability (can be heated up to 85°C) and works on a wide range of pH levels (ph 3-10). It's quite the multi-tasker: an emollient and water-binding ingredient but also an emulsifier and can be used for stabilization purposes. It's also often used to create liposomes. Squalene is the biochemical precursor to cholesterol and the whole family of steroid hormones in the human body. It’s produced by the oil glands in the skin, and plays an important role in skin lubrication and protection. The Biossance Sunscreen — formally known as Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen — is guaranteed to protect the skin without leaving behind a white cast like most mineral sunscreens. Its lightweight texture blends into all skin tones, leaving a soft, dewy finish.

This left no white cast either on my skin.” Yes. Mineral (a.k.a. physical) sunscreen sits on top of the skin’s surface to create a protective, reflective barrier against UV rays, like tiny mirrors. Unlike chemical sunscreen, it doesn’t degrade or lose efficacy when exposed to the sun. Chemical sunscreen acts more like a sponge, absorbing UV rays, converting them into heat and then releasing the heat from the skin. Chemical sunscreen ingredients can sometimes be irritating to sensitive skin. It’s pretty much the current IT- preservative. It’s safe and gentle, but even more importantly, it’s not a feared-by-everyone-mostly-without-scientific-reason paraben.
