Sunscreens
FAQs
All Good's mineral sunscreens are reef-friendly because they are formulated without harmful chemicals like oxybenzone, octinoxate, or other ingredients known to cause coral bleaching. Instead, they use non-nano zinc oxide as the active ingredient, which provides effective sun protection without harming marine life. The formulas are also biodegradable, further ensuring they are safe for the environment.
Mineral sunscreen, such as All Good’s, uses physical blockers like zinc oxide to reflect UV rays, providing broad-spectrum protection. It is less likely to irritate sensitive skin compared to chemical sunscreens, which absorb into the skin and may contain harsh chemicals. Mineral sunscreens are also safer for the environment.
Yes, All Good’s sunscreens are safe for kids. They are made with non-nano zinc oxide and other gentle, botanical ingredients that are suitable for young, sensitive skin. The sunscreens are free from harmful chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances, making them a safe choice for children. Additionally, the products are water-resistant, providing reliable protection during outdoor activities.
The main difference between SPF30 and SPF50 sunscreen is the level of UVB protection. SPF30 blocks approximately 97% of UVB rays, while SPF50 blocks about 98%. Although the difference may seem minimal, SPF50 provides slightly higher protection, which can be beneficial for prolonged sun exposure or for individuals with very fair or sensitive skin. However, both require reapplication every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Beyond the protection level, SPF50 formulations, such as the SPF50 Anti-Aging Daily Mineral Sunscreen, often include additional skincare benefits like ultra-moisturizing hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, which help with cell regeneration, reducing redness, and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making them more focused on anti-aging.
Mineral sunscreens can sometimes leave a slight white cast because they use zinc oxide to create a physical barrier on the skin. However, All Good’s formulas are designed to blend easily into the skin with minimal residue. Products such as the tinted mineral sunscreen options can help reduce the appearance of any white cast, providing a more natural-looking finish. We also recommend applying mineral sunscreen after moisturizer to help the product better absorb into the skin.
