UV Doux Mineral

Ultra violet is a segment of the broad radiation that comes from the sun towards the earth. UV is divided into UV-A, UV-B & UV-C. Visible light and infrared radiation can also damage skin

Sunscreen can be of two types providing either physical or chemical barrier to sunlight. This protects skin against sunburn, premature skin ageing, photo dermatitis and decreases incidence of skin cancer. UV Doux Mineral is a broad spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA & UVB radiations. It is non-comedogenic, oil & preservative free preparation

SPF refers to the ability of a sunscreen to block ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, which cause sunburns, but not UVA rays, which are more closely linked to deeper skin damage. Both UVA and UVB contribute to the risk of skin cancer. UV Doux Mineral has SPF 50 which offers very high sun protection.

Non-comedogenic is a term applied to oils, lotions and skin cream that do not block pores. Non-comedogenic products are also sometimes referred to as non-occlusive. The theory behind using non-comedogenic product is that it does not clog pores and will reduce the incidence of pimples. Acne sufferers are strongly encouraged to avoid products that contain known comedogenic substances because these can worsen acne symptoms. Most products designed for use on acne prone skin do not include ingredients that are known to be comedogenic. However some sunscreen do include oil based ingredients that can be very problematic for certain individuals.It is oil free, non-comedogenic and safe.

Anyone above the age of three years should use a sunscreen daily. Even those who work inside are exposed to ultraviolet radiation for brief periods throughout the day, especially if they work near windows, which generally filter out UVB but not UVArays. Infants should not be exposed to the sun, since their skin is highly sensitive to the chemical ingredients in sunscreen as well as to the sun’s rays.Shade and protective clothing are the best ways to protectinfants from the sun
