Highly Recommended Sunscreen Formula for Sensitive Skin

Dream - Sunscreen or sunblock is a skincare product that we must use every day. Not only when we go outside, but also inside the house because sunlight can penetrate glass.

The main function is, of course, to protect the skin from the sun's rays that can trigger a series of skin health problems.

In choosing sunscreen, some Dream friends may still be confused. Sunscreen itself comes in two types. First, chemical sunscreen that contains avobenzone and oxybenzone which function as sun absorbers to protect the skin.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The second is physical sunscreen. The main content of physical sunscreen is titanium dioxide which functions to block ultraviolet rays from being absorbed into the skin."

"For owners of sensitive skin who often experience inflammation and redness, it is recommended to use sunscreen that contains titanium dioxide."

"Formula Titanium Dioxide"

Friend Dream is curious what is titanium dioxide? If you still remember the periodic table in chemistry class back in high school, maybe you are not unfamiliar with titanium.

Titanium is a mineral element that is usually found in the Earth's crust. Joshua Zeichner, a dermatology professor from New York, explains that titanium dioxide is an inorganic compound mineral. "Physical sunscreen is made of minerals. Because it does not contain carbon atoms, technically, this mineral is an inorganic compound," he said.

Meanwhile, titanium dioxide contained in sunscreen is in the form of ultra-fine particles that function as a transparent barrier against sunlight exposure.

The working mechanism of titanium dioxide in physical sunscreen is actually quite simple. Zeichner mentioned that the mineral titanium dioxide, which coats the skin, helps protect the skin from exposure to light by reflecting and absorbing sunlight. Zeichner also mentioned that many people still misunderstand how it works.

"There is a misunderstanding about this. Sunscreen that contains minerals that adhere to the skin's surface is considered to only reflect sunlight like armor," he said.

In fact, besides being a layer that reflects sunlight, titanium dioxide also absorbs UV rays as much as it reflects.

"Titanium Dioxide Security"

Maybe Dream friends are still wondering about the safety of titanium dioxide content in sunscreen. No need to worry, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States, titanium dioxide is safe to use and effective in protecting the skin from the sun's rays. In general, physical sunscreen is very safe to use, even safe for pregnant women. Physical sunscreen is suitable for all skin types.

This type of sunscreen product is usually non-comedogenic, making it highly recommended for oily and acne-prone skin. Sensitive skin also tends not to react to the mineral content in sunscreen.

However, there is one drawback of titanium dioxide contained in physical sunscreen. This mineral leaves a white cast that is quite bothersome on dark or tan skin.

Although, Dream Friends don't need to worry. Some brands of physical sunscreen have innovated to create physical sunscreen that doesn't leave too much white residue on the skin. Report by Salma Rihhadatul Aisy/ Source: PopSugar
