Differences in filters: chemical, mineral, nano
When choosing a sunscreen, you often hear about the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreens. But what is the difference?
Chemical filters absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat, thereby protecting your skin. However, they can cause skin irritation, allergies, and hormone disruption. Some chemicals can also harm coral reefs.
Mineral filters, such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, sit on your skin and reflect UV rays. Tinge opts for non-nano particles, which remain on the skin's surface to minimize potential health risks and environmental damage. They provide effective protection against both UVA and UVB rays without being absorbed into your skin. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions and skin irritation, and is safer for the environment as it does not disturb coral reefs.
Tinge firmly chooses 100% mineral filters and non-nano technology.

Sunscreen for UVA, UVB and
blue light
In common parlance, people often simply talk about ‘UV rays’. However, it is important to understand that there are different types of UV rays, each with their own impact on the skin. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and cause premature skin aging, such as wrinkles and spots. UVB rays, on the other hand, target the outer layers of the skin and are the main cause of sunburn. It is the combination of both that contributes to skin cancer. UVC rays, on the other hand, are completely absorbed by the ozone layer, preventing them from reaching us.
Did you know that Tinge sunscreens also offer protection against blue light? In addition to protection against harmful UV rays, it is increasingly important to pay attention to protection against blue light, also known as high-energy visible light (HEV). This is a type of light that is emitted by electronic devices such as smartphones, computers and even LED lighting. Although blue light occurs naturally in sunlight, the increasing exposure to this light due to our daily screen time has a negative impact on the skin.
Blue light can penetrate deep into the skin layers, even deeper than UVA rays, and can contribute to skin aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. It can also lead to the development of oxidative stress, which can weaken the skin barrier and make the skin more susceptible to damage.
Tinge sunscreens are specially developed to not only protect against UVA and UVB rays, but also against the harmful effects of blue light. This means that your skin is not only protected during a day in the sun, but also during daily activities indoors, such as working behind a computer or using your smartphone.
How to choose the right sunscreen?
Choosing the right sunscreen starts with understanding your skin type and the conditions in which you will be using it. For those with dry skin, it is important to choose a sunscreen that not only protects against UV rays, but also contains moisturizing ingredients to prevent dryness. Ingredients such as aloe vera and shea butter are often good choices here, as they help keep the skin hydrated.
If you have sensitive skin, look for sunscreens that are gentle and free of irritants. A sunscreen that is dermatologist tested is a smart choice. Ingredients like panthenol and abyssinian oil can help soothe the skin.
For active pursuits such as sports or swimming, a water-resistant sunscreen is essential. This type of cream ensures that the protection lasts longer, even during intense exercise or contact with water. However, remember that regardless of the type of sunscreen you choose, you should reapply it every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating, to ensure continuous protection.
If you have naturally fair skin or burn easily, consider a sunscreen with a higher SPF to better protect yourself from UVB rays, which are the main cause of sunburn. By choosing carefully based on your skin type and activities, you can ensure that your skin is optimally protected from harmful UV rays.
How often and how much sunscreen should you apply?
A common question when using sunscreen is how often and how much to apply. The general rule is to reapply every two hours, or immediately after swimming or sweating. For effective protection, use about 30 milliliters, or a shot glass full, to cover your entire body. Don’t forget to include your ears, neck, and feet.
Apply all year round
Many people think of sun protection as something that is only necessary in the summer, but nothing could be further from the truth. UVA rays, which are responsible for skin aging, are present all year round. Even on cloudy days, these rays can damage the skin. That is why it is important to use sunscreen daily, even in the winter.
Sustainable sunscreens and their impact on the environment
With increasing concern for the environment, choosing sustainable sunscreens is more important than ever. These products do not contain harmful chemicals such as oxybenzone, which can damage coral reefs. Sustainable sunscreens are not only better for the ocean, but also for your skin. They contain natural ingredients and are often biodegradable, making them a responsible choice for both people and nature.
