Bought oil activator of suntan of the Sun Berry brand with grapes and almond oil about a month ago. The producer promises receiving a beautiful shade of skin for a short time and also leaving and moistening. I used means during campaigns on the beach constantly. Now here I want to share with you the impressions and results.
Producer and packing
A creator of the Sun Berry trademark is the private enterprise "Pharmaceutical factory "NPO Elfa" which was placed in Ukraine. It is necessary to tell, I was a little familiar with products of this firm, some time used their hair care products and result was happy. Generally, impressions about this producer remained good. Therefore having seen oil of this firm on a counter, decided to try it.
Oil activator of suntan Sun Berry in a small bottle of 150 ml is produced. And, in spite of the fact that volume small, it lasts for a long time. It is spent rather economically. Even there is enough small amount of means to create a protective film on skin.
Expiration date of the sealed product – two years, after opening of a small bottle - 12 months. Therefore if you are not on solar southern beaches several times a year, then it is worth spending it for one summer.
The small bottle is supplied with the batcher of bright orange color (that in principle is peculiar to sun-protection cosmetics). The batcher is executed in the form of a spray which when pressing gives such stream of oil. It is rather convenient, oil can be applied on necessary sites of skin at once and then to pound. But do not suit, for example. The small bottle is made of the darkened plastic that, probably, allows to protect a product from hit of direct sunshine.
Structure
At once I want to note that the level of protection against the sun at the oil bought by me very low – only 6 spf. It if I am not mistaken, the most minimum level which only exists. As I not so often am on the sun, decided that I will have enough also it.
So, structure. On the face of packing it is specified that oil contains vitamin E, grapes, almond oil. All these components really help to moisturize the skin. Besides, beta carotene - a yellow-orange pigment which allows skin to change color appears in the description of a product and also protects it from various harmful effects.
These are those ingredients of Sun Berry oil which the producer positions as the main active ingredients. Now let's look what is still specified in structure. So, on the first place of Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil that simply is usual sunflower oil. It well moisturizes the skin, attracts and detains water and also has no contraindications to application. Further we meet liquid paraffin, or mineral oil in structure. It is also recognized as absolutely harmless in cosmetics, allows to accelerate skin restoration. However can cause an allergy.
EMS following by the number of contents in this product is a synthetic component which just pushes away UV rays from skin. However it is often carried to aggressive substances which are capable to cause irritation. The producer added to oil and Tsiklopentasiloksan is a silicone which connects components of cosmetic substance and allows to distribute evenly them on the surface of skin. By the way, not such and harmless ingredient. Well, here, perhaps and everything, besides preservative and perfumery composition what this oil consists of.
Smell and consistence
Drawing and effect
The producer recommends to apply oil to dry clean skin before stay in the sun and also after bathing, well and within each two hours without bathing. Oil easily is applied, quickly distributed on skin, leaving on it gloss. It is absorbed not quickly, it is not even sure whether it is capable to be absorbed completely. I do not know, plus it or minus for similar products. At least, even in two hours of stay in the sun you will feel this means at yourself on skin. Perhaps, it is also that protective film. Besides a greasy luster, of course, there are also fat spots which remain on everything what you touch. For example, I did not manage to wash a bathing suit. Though, probably, it is inevitable when you use such product as oil. Frankly speaking, I did not use before oils in care of skin at all.
As for effect, then double impression. From the sun protects - it is yes. Really for all the time of fire with use of Sun Berry oil I never burned down, and in general did not feel any unpleasant feelings on skin. And it even despite very low level of protection against the sun. But here suntan activation – here is not present. Personally at me any effect. Even I did not get the minimum zagarchik. Remained it is white. As if was not on the beach at all. I think, on whiteness of my legs on a photo you can about it and to guess.
Therefore, unfortunately, I put to this product only 3. Eventually, it is possible to protect itself from the sun also other less fat means, and here it would be desirable to receive suntan, of course. Did not cope with this Sun Berry, alas.
