Two kinds of sunscreen are available. The two
physical and chemical sunscreens are available. Zinc oxide as well as titanium
dioxide are the physical kind, meaning the sunscreen is not absorbed from the
skin's surface, based to "The New York Times." When placed to the
skin, these substances reflect light, just like a mirror. Realizing which
substance is perfect and can help you to shield you from the sun's dangerous
effects.
Conclusion
According its name, titanium dioxide is made
from titanium. In its pure state, titanium is like Chalk, white colored and
highly reflective,
Zinc oxide is produced from the mineral zinc to
make a substance which is powerful at preventing the sun's rays. When placed to
the skin, zinc oxide may have a white colored look and also really feel a
little bit thick to the skin based to Paula Begoun, an
author and speaker generally known as "The Cosmetics Cop" for her
work in checking the safety and usefulness of cosmetics.
Titanium and Zinc size in Sunblocks
The two titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are
made from chalky, reflective substances. Even if this is useful for reflecting
the sun's rays, the use of these substances might be unattractive on the skin,
simply since it outcome the white, chalky look, based to the Environmental WorkingGroup. Because of this reason, sun block production companies work to
minimize the particles for chemical
sunscreens. Titanium dioxide is minimize
to between 10 and 100 nanometers (nm), a unit of measurements used to
measure small particles, while zinc oxide is minimize to 30 to 200 nm. This
will make each particular go on the skin less clear, yet without having to be
so small which it enters the epidermis.
Epidermis discomfort
Titanium dioxide is noncomedogenic, that means
it does not include oil which could block the epidermis pores, based to
"The New York Times." Also to its sun-block properties, zinc oxide is
well-known for its noncomedogenic and anti-microbial properties. This may help
to improve wound treatment. Even so, the heavy or thick nature of the products
will from time to time lead to blocked pores, while this probability is smallt
han other sunscreen products, such as avobenzone and oxybenzone, according to
Begoun
Zinc efficiency
In terms of efficiency, zinc oxide has a small
advantage more than titanium dioxide, based to SmartSkinCare. Titanium dioxide
is successful in blocking ultraviolet-B and short-wave ultraviolet-A rays,
however it is much less powerful than zinc dioxide at preventing long
ultraviolet-A rays. Zinc oxide's capability to block different kinds of rays
causes it to be one of the best powerful sun block products on the market at
preventing the sun's rays. On the other hand, zinc oxide usually is mixed with
additional ultraviolet-B blockers to offer the most complete broad-spectrum sun
block.
Things to consider
When trying to discover the perfect sun block
substance for you, Begoun suggests test
each substance to be sure it will never lead to skin irritability. If
your sun block is mixed with a foundation or some other makeup products, make
sure to apply a enough layer to provide protection from the sun. Simply because
zinc oxide provides a little bit better protection over the sun's ultraviolet spectrum, you may
need to start with this substance, then change to titanium dioxide when you
find you cannot use zinc dioxide
