Aveeno Positively Mineral Sunscreen Stick

Product Information

The English translation is, so far it looks like sunscreens with nanoparticles do stay on the surface of the skin where they should be. Living in Florida and having autoimmune diseases I use sunscreen daily and I’m definitely going to switch to this stick! However it is very expensive and unfortunately our GP doctor is not permitted to prescribe so we have to pay as the only alternative is steroid cream. My baby and my wee quite sensitive to this we did get a little bit of a red rash so had to stop using it.

A hydrocarbon wax consisting mainly of saturated straight chain hydrocarbons with C18-90+ carbon chain length. It is a super versatile polymer (molecule from repeated subunits) and when it comes to cosmetics, it is often referred to as microbeads.I also have very sensitive skin, and all the other sunscreens I tried clogged my pores, gave me a rash, or even made my skin peel. Everything else brings her out in a rash but this is mild on her skin but thick enough to feel it’s providing good coverage.

This gentle mineral sunscreen can be used on both face and body to form a protective barrier on top of the skin that absorbs and scatters UVA and UVB rays for superior sun protection.We are two friends living on opposite coasts (Brooklyn, New York and Santa Monica, California) that share a passion for living a minimal, zero waste lifestyle and on a mission to help others do the same. A physical/inorganic sunscreen with the broadest spectrum (UVB and UVA II, less good at UVA I) protection available today. But being versatile means that polyethylene does not only come as scrub particles but also as a white wax. The first main difference is that while TiO2 gives a nice broad spectrum protection, Zinc Oxide has an even nicer and even broader spectrum protection. If you have spotted ethylhexylglycerin on the ingredient list, most probably you will see there also the current IT-preservative, phenoxyethanol.

Although, there isn’t as much product in the tube it does work and easier to apply to a toddler who is always on the go. It's also claimed to increase the UV absorption of the sunscreen formula as well as to reduce the annoying white cast left behind by inorganic sunscreens. It is also used as a water repellent additive and to reduce the tackiness and stickiness of other ingredients.We're on a mission to reduce our personal carbon footprint with small, hopefully easy, changes in our home to fight against climate change.
