WOTNOT FACIAL SUNSCREEN SPF30+ 75G

Wotnot spf 30 anti-aging , daily defence for face provides high level, broad spectrum protection against UV-A and UV-B rays whilst being gentle on the skin.  Our formula is specially designed for the most sensitive skin and the only active ingredient is zinc oxide.  

We want to ensure that your skin is cared for while being protected from the sun so our sunscreen for face is enriched with skin nourishing certified organic jojoba oil to hydrate, certified organic aloe vera to nourish and green tea extract to help brighten and even skin tone.  Our formula also contains chamellia oil rich in oleic acid and vitamin A, B and E.

Our sunscreen works not only as a primer, spf and brightener but it is also enriched with COSMOS approved plant collagen to help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by up to 16% when used daily for 8 weeks.  

Our flawless matt finish leaves skin silky smooth and primed ready for make-up. 

How do sunscreen work?

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor.  SPF numbers are an approximate indication of how much protection from the sun a product will provide for your skin.

The Australian Standard for sunscreens allows a maximum sun protection factor (SPF) rating of 50.  While this sounds like a significantly higher level of protection than an SPF30 the difference is not really in the amount of UV protection.  An SPF 50 sunscreen will filter 98% of UV radiation while an SPF30 product filters 96.7% so the difference is not large.  The difference is around the length of time that it will protect you but there are issues with this.

Everyone’s skin is different and each person’s skin can be exposed to the sun for different lengths of time before burning. Sunscreen extends the time before burning by a multiple of the SPF.    Eg if you have fair skin and would normally burn in 5 minutes without any sun protection then an SPF 30 will give you 30 x 5 minutes protection.  The issue is that all sunscreens will rub off over time with normal activity and perspiration and so in some cases the higher SPF can give a false sense of security.  Due to normal activity all sunscreens need to be reapplied regularly.

The most important thing to remember is that no sunscreen provides total protection and will rub off over time, that's why it is always important to reapply regularly and cover up using appropriate clothing and eye wear especially during the hottest part of the day.

Most people are pushed for time these days and the brief with this new sunscreen was to create a product that is multi-functional and has the most natural ingredients possible.  This is what we've done! Our sunscreen is a broad-spectrum spf, brightener, primer and anti-aging treatment all in one and all of our ingredients are rated 2 or lower on EWG.
