Question 1

Does this come in spf 50

Accepted Answer

Good question! This sun cream is only available with SPF 30 for two reasons:

1) The difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50 is 1%.

2) To achieve SPF 50, additional UV filters have to be added which are less safe than zinc oxide.

Below you will find more information on both points:

1) SPF 30 versus SPF 50. What many people do not know is that the SPF scale is not linear. This means that SPF 30 protects against 97% of UVB rays and SPF 50 protects against 98% of UVB rays - so the difference is only 1% more UVB rays blocked by a SPF 50 sunscreen compared to a SPF 30 sunscreen.

For more information, please visit our website www . suntribesunscreen . com, under "About" --> "UVA, UVB and SPF"

2) Safety. In order to reach SPF 50, we would have to add additional UV-filters, which are less safe than zinc oxide without nanoparticles. For example, titanium dioxide (not photostable, produces free radicals when in contact with UV light or chloride) or chemical UV filters, which have been proven to cause coral bleaching, infertility in fish, skin irritations, allergies and hormonal disorders in humans.

For these two reasons, we have decided to focus on sharing this information rather than using UV filters which are not safe.

Question 2

No mention of it anywhere, does anyone know is this product is non-comedogenic ?  that means it doesn’t block your pores

Accepted Answer

This product has a fairly low comedogenic rating but it is not non-comedogenic an in all because it contains small amounts of Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter. We have heard from many people with problematic skin that their skin does not react with breakouts but actually became more even after using our sunscreen, most likely due to the other skin-calming ingredients in our formula such as Zinc Oxide (antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory) and Beeswax (rich in Vitamin A).

These are the comedogenic ratings of the ingredients so that you can see for yourself, in the order of the list of ingredients, so starting with the ingredient that makes up the biggest share of the formula:

Sunflower Seed Oil - comedogenic rating of 0 - 2. This means this is a non-comedogenic oil.

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide - this is a powder, not an oil or butter, so it has no comedogenic rating. However Zinc Oxide is known for its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, it can help heal the skin and is known as an astringent, meaning that it helps to dry excess oil in the skin. All this makes Zinc Oxide a great choice with oily or problematic skin. Zinc Oxide is also known to help reduce inflammation and contributes in removing clogged pores.

Coconut Oil - comedogenic rating of 4. This means Coconut Oil may clog your pores.

Beeswax - this is a wax that doesn't clog pores. Beeswax is rich in vitamin A (which helps to treat acne) and is an emollient, helping to soothe and hydrate the skin to avoid acne breakouts.

Cocoa Butter - also has a comedogenic rating of 4. Meaning that it can contribute to clogging your pores.

Shea Butter - has a comedogenic rating of 0-2 and is considered to be non-comedogenic, meaning that it won't clog your pores.

Vitamin E - this is a nutrient with anti-inflammatory properties, meaning that it helps to calm your skin. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting your skin from free radicals.

We know the comedogenic rating of our sunscreen is very important to many of our customers so we are working on offering an alternative. For now, I hope I could help you with my reply otherwise please don't hesitate to let me know!

Question 3

Is it vegan ingredients?

Accepted Answer

This sunscreen contains Organic Beeswax which means it's not strictly vegan. The Beeswax helps to achieve water resistance.

If you're looking for a vegan sunscreen we recommend our Mineral Day Cream SPF 20: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07RPTLH8T?ref=myi_title_dp

We are working on developing further vegan products.

I hope I could help you with this reply, feel free to write again.
