How much are sun-protection filters in cosmetics?

Cosmetologists, doctors, bloggers (advanced age) unanimously say:
If you need one, most working anti-aging means - it is sun-protection means! Without it all antieydzh leaving is nullified.





And not because acids, enzymes and retinoida provoke sensitivity of skin to the sun (though it is the fact), but also just because sunshine destroy collagen.




Therefore the golden rule of each woman are funds from SPF in day care.
And, protection has to be full - as from UVB of the beams causing burns and from invisible UVA of the beams provoking aging, pigmentation and cancer of skin.
Here also difficulties of the choice because often it is more requirements to sanskrina, than to usual ukhodovy means begin.
In particular - the budgetary price, working filters, neither sticky, nor fat texture, and easy in use.
And I have additional requirements: that did not clash with my basic care, did not hammer a time, did not lie a mask on a face.

Now there is a lot of means, they are such different...


The most budgetary looks here so:
It is the silk scarf sewed as a face pack and a neck. Great option! Both does not damage health, and a purse.
Seriously! It is the best and safest SPF.)))

The cosmetic industry offers those who prefers classical cream from the sun at choice several types of filters: safe mineral (oxide of zinc and dioxide of the titan), mixed and chemical.
In turn mineral there are in shape "nanotechnologies" and not "nano", that is large particles.
And chemical happen very harmful and not really (hybrid)---old generation and new generation.

If with zinc oxide long ago everything is clear - it is the best filter from all range of beams - solar and from screens of computers and phones.
Dioxide of the titan does not protect from long UVA of beams, but it is actively applied together with other filters.

And here with chemical not everything so clearly and simply.
Those that are resolved in some countries are forbidden in others.
Americans are deprived of an opportunity to buy the filters resolved in Europe. But have the huge choice of cosmetics with mineral filters which did not dream ordinary Europeans, not mad on eko to cosmetics and not buying online extremely expensively (with taxes).

But the European filters of new generation do not get into a blood-groove! It is huge plus. They reflect beams of the sun from the surface of skin. These are so-called, hybrid filters.
They have difficult names, will show you on a photo.



There are filters noted by a tick.
Separately they do not protect skin absolutely! But together support each other from disintegration and give us necessary protection.
Have the names uniting groups of filters: Tinosorb M, Tinosorb S, Uvinul T150, Uvinul A Plus.

The substances used as filters are not soluble in water, and only in oil.
It allows to achieve production of waterproof means of protection that is good for those who spend time in water, not only on the land.
But also it is better to wash away sanskrina by means of micellar or hydrophilic oil. Otherwise it is possible to rub long skin soap and a bast and not to wash away all the same up to the end.

The prices of sun-protection creams / fluids / lotions the most different also do not depend on raw materials cost. Because filters from the sun do not cost much!
Here one of examples: Tinosorb M filter.


50 g are on sale for 23 dollars.
And in means only several grams are used, it depends on protection level.

That names of filters became more clear, I will tell that the gold standard of protection against UVA of beams is Avobenzone (Butyl Methoxydibezoyl methane). Unfortunately, this filter is not stable and in an hour loses 36% of the force. It just collapses in the sun! Also becomes toxic.
Therefore in means of protection it is by all means supported with two other filters---, Octocrylene (one of the most widespread filters) and in some means
the best filter approved in Europe, stable and at the same time not absorbed by our skin---Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl Triazine.
And here Octocrylene can cause allergic reactions, especially in children.
But it is used to 10% in formulas of means.

With filters, approximately, the picture cleared up.
Now about other composition of creams and fluids.

Modern producers of cosmetics try to stand out "from the crowd" by means of the formulas with addition of the antioxidants protecting skin from free radicals. That is, several means rolled into one: both anti-aging, and moistening / or the matting effect, and protection against beams.
Antioxidants and peptides can be met in formulas of the known brands now.
Whether they are necessary in cream from the sun?
Yes, if cream is applied right after washing.
No, if cream is applied over active serums.

Here several examples of sanskrin of the known brands with chemical filters about which I told above.


Skincode - expensive, known brand of ukhodovy cosmetics. But sanskrin is on sale at the affordable price and in large volume of 100 ml.
The structure is laconic, anything special, just protection.

Avene offers protection of Tinosorb with thermal water and the looking after components. Volume is 40 ml, the batcher.
The structure is quite good, in Avene style.

Juvena gives us protective and day cream 2 in 1. With antioxidants, pleasant texture... Generally, luxury.

Hardly found structure, it is not published.
Stable filters
Uvinul, Tinosorb
, there are a lot of antioxidants to justify the price.
The second part of structure is a leaving.

Bioderma---one of my favourite brands.
They have working structures and the affordable prices.
Tinosorb filters, the second part of the list of ingredients - leaving. The brand patented a formula of cellular protection against free radicals and applies it in all range Photoderm.
I tried this cream on a face. At air temperature to +27' to me it was comfortable, it was not fat or sticky.
It was necessary to powder to remove shine, not a greasy luster. All sanskrina gleam, especially it is noticeable on a photo.

Cost is quite acceptable, working formula.
But chemical filters not my choice, I use mineral all the year round.

As you can see, variation in prices big. Filters do not cost much.
The price is formed of marketing policy of each brand.
That for us the main thing is a stable protection against the sun, cream updating each 2 hours of stay in the sun,---our youth and beauty directly depends on, whether effective filters in our means.

As for other filters, which
are recognized as harmful,---oxybenzone and octinoxate and also, benzophenone-3---I even want to write nothing about them and I advise you them to avoid. Usually, such filters are used in cheap protective creams, but for the consumer can expensively be on sale. It depends on the specific producer.


All thanks for attention.)))
