SkinCeuticals Sun Protection – Filling the GapSkinCeuticals is a skin care line that backs its products with science, and a line that is dedicated to improving your skin's health. SkinCeuticals was one of the first cosmeceutical companies to provide scientific evidence to support the benefits of its products.
Of the many revolutionary products from SkinCeuticals, its sun protection products stand out due to the extensive technology and research used to formulate these products. SkinCeuticals sunblocks fill the gap, offering true broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection. SkinCeuticals created four unique sunblock products to fill the needs of any skin type and user. Z-Cote is a transparent zinc oxide used in the SkinCeuticals sun protection products offering a powerful physical sunscreen. Z-Cote is a cosmetically elegant ingredient stabilized by being fully encapsulated, which helps to increase protection as well as reduce the chance of irritation.
The benefits of Z-Cote surpass most other sunscreen ingredients due to the blocking capabilities of it. Z-Cote is one of few physical sunscreen ingredients that blocks both UVA and UVB sun rays. Exposure to both UVB and UVA rays has been documented to directly contribute to premature aging of the skin as well as lead to health hazards such as skin cancer. Protecting against UVA rays is most important, as these ultraviolet rays penetrate thirty to forty times deeper than UVB rays and generate oxygen-free radicals, which damage collagen, elastin and even DNA. Cumulative sun exposure breaks down the skin's connective tissues, thus resulting in a loss of elasticity, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
SkinCeuticals Z-Cote is rated one of the best selling sunscreens not only because of its blocking capabilities but also because of its effect to contribute to healthy skin in the future. Repeated use of zinc oxide actually improves your skin's health. One way is by reducing inflammation of the skin. Continual inflammation of the skin exasperates, the skin causing it to become lackluster and age prematurely.
SkinCeuticals Daily Sun Defense SPF 20 is ideal for all skin types and for daily use. It contains a 5% transparent zinc oxide (Z-Cote) to protect the skin and is formulated to be PABA-free, oil-free and fragrance-free, making it especially great for more oily skin types. Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30 contains the exclusive Z-Cote in a 7% base and works well for high altitudes and all skin types. SkinCeuticals Physical UV Defense SPF 30 is formulated for sensitive skin types and especially for post-treatment patients because it is a non-chemical sunscreen. Lastly, SkinCeuticals offers a sunscreen that is great for athletes or for those outdoors during the day. Sport UV Defense SPF 45 is waterproof and sweat proof and works well for all skin types. |
