Q: When should I use my Lightweight Mineral SPF?
A: Consistent, daily use of SPF on your face and neck helps prevent sunburn, premature aging, hyperpigmentation (dark spots), and reduces your risk of skin cancer. Use SPF every morning, year-round, regardless of the weather or season to stay protected. UVA rays can penetrate windows and clouds. Further, prolonged exposure to blue light from computer screens, phones, and other digital devices can potentially cause skin damage.
Q: What does the SPF smell like?
A: There is no scent. Our product contains Lavender however there is no lavender scent. Lavender helps calm the skin, and it helps balance the skin’s oil production to hydrate and nourish without clogging pores or stimulating breakouts.
Q: Is this SPF formulated only for men?
A: No. It is effective and safe for men, women and children and all skin types. We market to men but our products are entirely unisex.
Q: What does it mean, ‘Reef-Safe and Clean’?
A: Some sunscreens are labeled ‘reef-safe’ because they don’t contain the most common SPF chemicals like oxybenzone, octinoxate known to harm coral reefs, making them a more environmentally friendly choice for those who swim in the ocean or care about protecting marine ecosystems and species, like Blu Atlas. Our Natural SPF contains a safe, mineral-based filter which is free of parabens, silicones, PEGs, and sulfates, so it is safe for both your skin and the environment.
Q: Why do I need Broad Spectrum protection?
A: Sunscreens that offer broad spectrum protection help shield your exposed skin from the harmful effects of both UVA and UVB rays. It’s important not only for preventing a painful sunburn but also for reducing the risk of skin cancer and maintaining overall skin health. Our Lightweight Mineral SPF 30 contains 15.7% zinc oxide to effectively shield skin from both UVA and UVB rays for up to 80 minutes, even while swimming and/or sweating.
Q: Why does the SPF tube contain only 2 oz. of sunscreen?
A: Our natural mineral-based formula contains high-quality ingredients which are designed to be used on the face and neck. While you can use our SPF on your entire body, we recommend ‘saving the good stuff for your face’.
