The Science Behind Daily Sun Defense
The Science Supporting SkinCeuticals Sunblock Products
Sunblock Abstract
Until the advent of recently-patented technologies, not one sunscreen or sunblock existed that provided both substantial UVA and UVB protection without turning skin white. Recent scientific findings reveal that it is the long UVAI (340-400 nm) rays that cause photoaging. Only two sunscreen ingredients (zinc oxide and Parsol 1789) protect in this range, with zinc oxide being the preferred ingredient. By incorporating two innovative technologies (Z-Cote® transparent zinc oxide and encapsulated octinoxate) in one sunblock product line, SkinCeuticals provides superior sun care products for daily use.

Dr. Leslie Baumann, director of cosmetic dermatology at the University of Miami School of Medicine, suggests patients apply an antioxidant lotion daily to prevent the damaging effects of oxygen treatments.
