Beauty Tips For Body Care
Link - because people click on PSA threads more often if they have a picture on the side. So here’s your pretty picture SCASupergoop remains popular here despite it commiting one of the biggest no-nos — combining Octinoxate and Avobenzone in the same sunscreenAvobenzone is a great organic (“chemical”) UVA sunscreen filter used world wide. Avobenzone is recognized as safe and unharmful to the skin as long as it is stabilized— good thing is many stabilizers exist.Bad thing — in the USA, popular brands like Supergoop and Boscia combine it with octinoxate which rapidly degrades avobenzone.Avobenzone should be combined with UVB filters like Octocrylene or Oxybenzone which stabilizes avo.If Octinoxate is in a sunscreen you use maks sure the UVA filter is something that it doesn’t degrade like Zinc OxideThe supergoop unseen sunscreen not only has octinoxate and avobenzone together, it actually has more octinoxate than avobenzone. So does the Healthy Glow Sunless Tan SPF 40The supergoop sun defying sunscreen oil contains over twice as much Octinoxate as avobenzone.The City Sunscreen Serum SPF 30 is has avobenzone and is octinoxate-free but has less octocrylene than avobenzone so the stability is uncertain.You may askWhat is UVA?Critical Wavelength / UVA is the suns longer less energetic rays. They are sometimes called the “aging rays” because the penetrate far deeper into the skin than UVB can. The persistent pigment darkening it causes can cause post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and darken melasma and this is shown almost immediately.UVA dermal damage is a main cause of premature photoaging.The premature aging and other photodamage caused by UVA takes decades to show up on your face since the damage is dermal. This is why wearing sunscreen throughout your childhood, teens and twenties is important for keeping youthful skin later on.They also have been found to do worse, they can cause cancer. Internationally, UVA rating is reflected by PPD or PA+ systemsWhy else UVA a big deal?-UVA is a jerk and doesn’t give buck about anything.-It doesnt care if its cloudy— uva penetrates through clouds and damages your skin-It doesnt care if you live in a cold country with a low UV index. Because of the way UV index is calculated it only represents the likelihood you will get burned from the suns UVB rays and can drastically under represent UVA-It doesnt care if you’re inside. Upwards of 75% of UVA rays penetrate through clear glass and then penetrates your skin with ease. Yeah seriously. Atleast UVB respects you while you’re in your house wanting to unwind and get some privacy. UVA just busts through your window glass and forces itself upon you and penetrates youWhy is it labled SPF 30,40,50 etc if its not protecting me from UVA?Because in the USA “SPF” and SPF testing only represents the protection it has fom the suns UVB burning rays. Most sunscreens labeled “broad spectrum” actually fail the stricter overseas UVA tests.Why doesnt the USA have any good UVA rating systems?Because we suck.Obama tried to make us suck less by attempting to get the FDA to approve the international filters, but the fda was a jerk about it and denied everything, so now we suck a lot and are the worlds laughing stock when it comes to sun protection. Supergoop sucks a lot because they make it worse by combining one of the best uva filters availble here with octinoxate for no good reasonsTL;DR• that unseen sunscreen by supergoop everyone is still recommending sucks, don’t buy it• uva sucks ,usa sucks, fda sucks• the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
