Zinc Oxide vs Micronized Zinc Oxide
While Zinc Oxide does protect against the longest range of UVA rays, micronized Zinc Oxide has not proven as capable. The problem with all micronized forms of Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide is that by grinding them into smaller particles (so they do not create a pasty-looking film) you are limiting their effectiveness. Zinc Oxide works by reflecting the suns harmful rays away from the skin’s surface, and thus needs to effectively cover the entire area, which lends the product a white sheen.
Fenix Rehydrating Sunscreen Primary Usage
Apply daily to face, neck and body, or apply liberally before sun exposure. Use before applying make-up. To maintain protection reapply after swimming, or excessive perspiring.
Fenix Rehydrating Sunscreen Secondary Usage
May be used to help maintain results following invasive cosmetic procedures, beginning 7 to 10 days after the procedure or as recommended by the treating physician or aesthetician.
Fenix Rehydrating Sunscreen Ingredients
- Avobenzone (Parsol 1789Ò)
- A revolutionary development in sunscreen technology approved by the FDA in 1998. While traditional chemical sunscreens could block against UVB (the “burning rays”) and UVAII wavelengths, they could not adequately block out UVAI rays, the ones responsible for the skin damage that results in wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, etc.
- Effectively protects from UVA rays
- Octyl Methoxycinnamate
- Octyl Salicylate
- Protects against UVB rays
- Considered a non-comedogenic raw material
- Oxybenzone
- UV absorber that protects from UVA rays
- Seaweed Extract
- Deeply hydrates all skin types, leaving the skin with a real sensation of suppleness and softness
- Rebalances the skin’s natural environment as it provides nourishment
- Algae Extract
- Ensures proper skin hydration, and delvers a wealth of amino acids, proteins, minerals and vitamins to the skin
- Supports the cell renewal process
- Excellent moisturizing agent
- Orchid Extract
- Naturally elevates the sun protection factor, while rehydrating the skin’s surface
- Vitamin A
- Improves skin elasticity, moisture content and suppleness while reversing the signs of photo-aging
- Vitamin C
- The most popular anti-oxidant, Vitamin C is a required component in the production of collagen, the tissue responsible for skin suppleness. Moreover, Vitamin C has been shown to help slow the production of hyperpigmentation (“age spots”) while providing some UV protection
- Vitamin E
- Penetrates the stratum corneum and maintains moisture levels of the skin for long periods of time (16 to 24 Hours). Accumulates in the epidermis and forms a barrier against moisture evaporation from the skin. An anti-oxidant, Vitamin E helps prevent free radical damage in the skin tissues
