Octisalate Slightly less of a bad guy. Octisalate has still been linked to skin allergies and may have affects on the endocrine system (hormones again!!) SETT is a company first developed by a surfer following a bout of surf rash in 2016. He created a cream to combat the condition, and a natural mineral sunscreen followed this. The company has since grown into an established brand that produces a whole range of natural products. Getting sunburn is a sure sign that you have suffered skin damage, and your risk of developing skin cancer will significantly increase. They can also be a great choice for pregnant and breastfeeding women, as they sit on the surface of the skin rather than get absorbed. However, mineral sunscreens can sometimes leave whitish ‘casts’ on the skin, so may not be suitable for people with darker skin tones (even though this is much less common now).

SPF 30 will provide you with double the amount of time in the sun without burning. i.e. 300 minutes There’s much to be said for big floppy hats, sunglasses and just staying out of the sun altogether. However, when it comes to sheer practicality, it’s far easier to commit to the cardinal rule of beauty and all-round skin health of applying SPF daily. Unlike chemical formulations, which take around 20 minutes to become effective, mineral sunscreens also get to work as soon as you apply them. This lotion is a chemical sunscreen that promises all-day protection even in the water. In reality, its effectiveness will depend on how generously it is applied. It should be very suitable for surfers who spend many hours in the water. Many people are very loyal to this brand and find it an efficient way to give excellent protection. If you’ve struggled to find your SPF soulmate with traditional chemical-based sunscreens, mineral sunscreens could be worth a try.
