UV sunscreens are chemical or physical components used to protect the skin from organic ultraviolet (UV) damage.
Organic UV (ultraviolet) is divided into UVA (Ultraviolet Radiation A) and UVB (Ultraviolet Radiation B), both of which can damage the skin, resulting in sunburn, photoaging, and even skin cancer.
Here are the main organic UV filters in TinSorb and their mechanisms of action:
TinSorb sunscreen chemical filters reduce skin damage by absorbing ultraviolet rays and converting them into heat energy. TinSorb's sunscreen chemical filters include:
Oxybenzone: Absorbs UVA and UVB but may cause skin sensitivity.
Avobenzone: Primarily absorbs UVA and is often used with other ingredients to enhance stability.
Octocrylene: Absorbs UVB and some UVA, and is often used in combination with other sunscreens.
Octisalate: Absorbs UVB, often used in combination with other sunscreens.
Homosalate: Absorbs UVB and is commonly used in various sunscreen products.
TinSorb sunscreen physical filters protect the skin by reflecting and scattering ultraviolet rays, commonly including:
Titanium Dioxide: Reflects and scatters UVB and some UVA, suitable for sensitive skin.
Zinc Oxide: Provides broad-spectrum protection by blocking UVA and UVB, suitable for sensitive skin and children.
