Anti-oxidant for better sun protection

Anti-oxidant is a substance that protects your cells against free radicals (molecules produced when your body breaks down food). Many experts suggest that anti-oxidants play a vital role in heart disease, cancer, and depression. They also play a role in skin care products. i.e. sunblock & sunscreen.

Anti-oxidants are also being used in personal care products like sunblock and sunscreens. They protect the outer layer of our skin from oxidative damage caused by free radicals and environmental aggression like UV and pollution. Their role in sunblock and sunscreen is to prevent sunburn by neutralizing the free radical damage that sun exposure causes. 

UV exposure from the rays can trigger free radical damage that causes skin aging, in the form of wrinkles, dark spots, and other issues. These issues occur at a deeper level which takes time to show up on your skin. Sunblock forms a protective layer on the skin to prevent UV rays.

Solarin-60 anti-oxidant sunblock:

Solarin-60 is one of the best sunblocks in Pakistan. SPF 60 protects against UV rays across the spectrum and is suited for all skin types. In hot summers sunburn is a common issue. It is important to protect your skin from harmful rays from the sun. Anti-oxidant sunblock forms a layer on your skin. This layer acts as a barrier to harmful UV rays.

SPF-60:

Anti-oxidant sunblock with SPF-60 is a mild, all-year useable sunblock. SPF 60 protects against UVA and UVB (spectrum from at least 370nm to 280nm) that cause sunburns. It takes 20 min for uncovered skin to turn red when exposed to harmful sun rays, using SPF-60 sunblock prevents redness 60 times longer. SPF 30 keeps out 97% and SPF 50 keeps out 98% of all coming UVB rays. Whereas SPF 60 filters out approximately 98% of UVB rays. This seems a negligible difference but if you have light-sensitive skin this extra percentage makes a difference.

Uses of Solarin-60:

• Broad-spectrum sun protection
• Repairs sun-damaged skin cells
• Water-resistant, cosmetically elegant
• Hypoallergenic, Non comedogenic

Solarin Anti-oxidant Sunblock consists of:

• Octyl methoxycinnamate:

• Oxybenzone:

Protects skin from harmful effects of sun rays. and absorbs short UVB rays which cause skin aging.

• Micronized Zinc Oxide:

It helps in regulating the skin’s oil production and reduces skin pores. It plays 2 roles in sunblock’s

• Microfine Titanium Dioxide:

They are commonly used in sunblock that absorb broad-spectrum ultraviolet radiation.

Allantoin also acts as a moisturizer which protects your skin from UV rays and then moisturizes it.

Vitamin E & Vitamin C:

Vitamin E: Is a fat-soluble (skin absorbs it well) anti-oxidant i.e. it’s a strong anti-oxidant (neutralizes free revolutionaries), guarding the collagen in our skin (so it works with sunblock to help cover photodamage to the skin. It works well with Vitamin C so if you want to apply Vitamin C under your SPF, this could work well with it. Vitamin E also works well against UVB shaft protection (so it’s good to include in an SPF)

Vitamin C: The combination of vitamin C and broad-spectrum sunscreens, which protect well against UVA rays, is more effective at neutralizing free radical damage from sun exposure than sunscreen alone.

According to this 2013 study: “Sunscreens only block 55 percent of the free radicals generated by UV exposure. To optimize UV protection, using sunscreen in combination with a topical antioxidant is important. Studies have shown that 10 percent vitamin C statistically reduces UVB-induced erythema by 52 percent and sunburn cell formation by 40-60 percent. When you apply sunscreen and vitamin C together, their benefits multiply.
