Love love love your explanation at the end. This zebra fish study is a great example of why we (normal common people) should not take to heart findings and information obtained outside of our scope of expertise or understanding. Media publicizing and interpreting this for us is literally the blind leading the blind into unwarranted hysteria.
Anytime there’s some crazy misinformation being pushed in the media we can always count on Dr Dray to set the record straight for us. What would we do without her?!? Have a wonderful Thursday Doc 😉
I just love it when you break down studies like you did here, it's so interesting ! I'm a psychology student, we are also trained to read and interpret studies and it's difficult to understand them sometimes, so I can't even imagine how harmful it is that people NOT trained to read them critically have access to them ! I totally agree, it is unethical. Same reason psychologists aren't allowed to give uninterpreted test results to their patients, as it could be harmful to them.
I suffer from contact dermatitis and rosacea, facial and ocular type. I have truly sensitive skin, and can't use most skin care for 'sensitive skin'. Your videos have helped me so much, thank you.
Can you please do a 'wiser years' series? Subtopics: a) urinary odor removal from skin b) using retinols & other topicals in conjunction with Horomone Replacement Therapy (HRT).E.g how to layer progesterone facial cream with moisturizer, sunscreen; how/when to apply retinol - (night?) progesterone facial cream (morning); frequency of retinol application ? c) Collagen supplements in conjunction w HRT & retinols d) Acid peels (professional treatment,) in conjunction w HRT & retinols e) sensitive skin eye moisturizers that can be used on eyelids...any moisturizer product that helps relieve dry eye syndrome that happens during menopause Thanks! 😊 Thanks!!
I apologize for my ignorance. But I can’t believe I’m actually seeing this; as I didn’t know it was a “thing”. Now when you say, “urinary odor removal from skin”, are you referring to your skin/pores having a urine type of smell?.... I’m 40 years old and I recently started to notice this odor when I wake up in the morning. Although. I’ve not been able to put my finger on it let alone explain it- I just keep referring to it as, “I smell like I’m dying” (knock on wood). Oh my gosh!!... I’m so relieved to know I’m not the only one!! It was really starting to scare me. Is there a name for this, is it common and could it be tied to dehydration? I’d love to hear anything you know about this. Thanks so much!
@@krissymichele There are a few possiblities that come to mind with the odor described, but you'll need to visit your local medical care provider to determine the exact cause. Don't wait and don't worry, just get in for an appointment. Whenever skin/sweat smells of rot, garbage, fish, ammonia, or urea, it's time to check checked out, because something is wrong (though it could be very easy to treat). Best wishes.
@@krissymichele urinary odor from urinary incontinence...not a gushing flow or anything - just microscopic spotting, but still enough to cause annoying, lingering, nursing home urinary odor. I'm advised by one uro-gyno for surgery. Cancelled surgery bc another uro-gyno advised against surgery. Hopefully, solution will be found in new yr. So far uterus slightly enlarged (likely from 5 pregnancies) & likely pressing on bladder, spasming it
I love how "natural" "cruelty free" products use the same chemicals that were tested by the companies that are considered not cruelty free. So others do the research then they piggy back and say "we're cruelty free" even though the research that informed them to use those products came from RND.
So that how they works on their product. I always wonder how are they sure about their product's effectivity, side effect, or safety if they don't/can't test it first
Under arm hyperpigmentation: Moisturizers with Niacinamide, Licorice root, soy, no antiperspirannts and fragrance Dry Climate: Humidifier Zinc in mineral sunscreens isn't harmful
Yay! For bringing up ‘unnecessary fear mongering’ in the media! So true! Thankfully we have more trusted sources for information like you and Michelle @labmuffin to listen to 🥰
Thank you - so helpful. Plus you make me laugh - “so, is zinc oxide toxic? No you’re not a zebra fish embryo “. Thank you for your straight forward explanations with a side dose of humor.
My skin has changed so much in the last 2 years thanks to Dr. Dray drilling SPF in my head lol. I use a combination SPF30 by cerave - only one that doesn’t burn my eyes!
Yes queen!!!! Mental health!!!! I’m so so incredibly happy and grateful when you explain these things to us and explain your reasoning. You’re so amazing!!!! Thanks for all the Q&As that you do!!!! My heart to ya!! Smart, kicks ass and don’t hold back. Always look up to you!!
I'm glad you addressed the zinc oxide situation! When the articles came out I immediately read the paper and was able to understand some of the issues with it, but I had to talk to a biochemist I know in order to understand everything that was wrong with it. The media just doesn't care how it affects people and that's really unfortunate.
A lot of those ingredients that you listed are just the actual name of ingredients you’re likely already familiar with. In your list, I immediately noticed shea butter, cocoa butter, vitamin E, a variety of safe hydrating fatty acids, an ingredient that’s a natural alternative to salicylic acid, a humectant, and chemical sunscreen ingredients. If you ever want to know what a specific ingredient is, all you need to do is use a search engine such as Google and type in something like, “What is butyrospermum parkii?”, and you’ll see it’s just shea butter. Or, “What is tocopherol acetate?”, and you’ll discover that it’s just Vitamin E.
Love the Smart & Science-y Dr Dray! Thank you for not talking over our heads, and not dumbing down your explanations. You are the perfect mix and a great teacher….Thanks doc!❣️❤️
I use Head & Shoulders around my mouth, nose, between my eyebrows, just under my eyebrow line & fingers when I get an eczema breakout, it really settles my skin down & helps it heal. It burn but I like it, it’s much better than it itching, plus the burn kills the itch for quite awhile.
Loved this video 🥰 Could you do a segment on this whole J&J fiasco with their talc allegedly causing ovarian cancer? Would love to hear your take on it.
Zebra fish embryos are similar to humans in what way? Is this an industry standard to use fish embryos to test skincare products? I had no idea. I would imagine adding nearly anything to fish embryos would be toxic.
I dont watch the news and havent 4 years because of the misleading reporting and lack of integrity by those reporting! Absolutely to sensationalize and foster fear without any purpose! Thank you for speaking out and your views are supported by many!!
I use The Ordinary's 10% Niacinamide + Zinc on my underarms. It seems to be working well and has gradually reduced the discolouration of the skin. I use it a few times a week.
Thanks for this video! I was waiting for this video from you, since my face sunscreen has zinc oxide in it! I still used it normally, since I figured you talk about it (like similar sunscreen bashing articles). Thanks so much for confirming my thoughts and making me feel at ease!
I don't fully understand your reply, sorry! What are was trying to say in my comment, was I was going to still use my sunscreen until dermatologists, like Dr. Dry say otherwise. As, there are , and have been over the years, lots of sunscreen bashing articles. So I will continue to use it, as she confirmed my suspicions.
Thank you Dr. Dray! I got a Google notification about that study and i just groaned, I knew I wouldn't be able to parse it out myself but I figured I would just keep using my sunscreen and wait for your video about it. You're a straight shooter and a great resource.
I am so glad to have found this video! The only sunscreen that doesn't brake my skin out happens to be a zinc one. I heard the information about it supposedly being dangerous. I was about to throw it away. Thank you for clearing this up.
Dr. Dray, I am sooo confused! I just went shopping at Whole Foods and found “clear zinc oxide.” Is this stuff healthy, effective, and seriously has all the benefits of zinc oxide minus the white cast??? The fact that I’ve never seen you talk about a product with “clear zinc oxide” nor have addressed “uncoated zinc oxide” in the ingredient list, concerns me. So, would you speak on this? I purchased a Badger product for kids. Thank you soooo much! Regine, in South Florida
@20.50 all true. I too had some not-so-great experiences with doctors but also had amazing ones. Bottom line: utilize the media to hear about things one might not otherwise notice or know about, but then realize where you have to go to actually get the data interpreted and how good (or not) the data is. Thanks for sharing as always.
You should consider writing a letter to the editor of this journal if you feel the study is misleading about the true efficacy of the ingredients in a real-life usage of sunscreens (I haven't read it). Photochemists aren't traditionally trained in formulation of skin care products and they might miss important context to perform this type of studies. That is why multi-disciplinary approaches are important in science! Thank you for this video.
I was diagnosed with formaldehyde allergy last month, and I struggle so much with finding products. I've read countless articles, and downloaded multiple apps to help, but formaldehydereleasers are nearly impossible to avoid.
Thanks for the information on zinc!! I’ve continued to use and will continue to use my zinc sunscreens. I had a feeling if there was anything to it you would have addressed it immediately. Hope you’re having a great week!!
Wow that concept that mistrust of the medical field lasts generations could not be more true. My dad had a sibling with a lot of medical problems/mistakes which has led him to be extremely mistrustful of the medical field even though he himself is in an ancillary medical field. It's so bad it has led him to put off care because he is so convinced that any doctor he sees is going to make a mistake. I am a nurse and try to encourage him and reassure him but nothing works. I have had to work very hard to overcome my tendencies to have a lot of medical anxiety and some of my brothers have started to avoid medical care. Even though none of us have ever personally had a really bad experience. My parents also have some anti vaxxer tendencies so the whole COVID situation has been interesting. Thankfully they did get vaccinated. They are both over 65 and have pre existing medical conditions.
thank you so much for this video Dr Dray! you are such an important part of my personal research, i don’t know have the training or education on all the chemistry behind my products, but i’m glad we have someone like you to learn from outside of formal education ☺️
I’m the same way; late 20s and don’t wear sunscreen, sleep in makeup and only remove my makeup once every other day worn makeup wipe and use ponds to moisturize, no retinol and most ppl think I’m still in high school. My mom is the same way and she’s in her 50s and ppl think she’s in her 30s. No one in my family wears sunscreen and we all have good skin.
Could you please make a video on how some skin hyperpigmentation is normal? It's really a bit frightening how some people think that any hyperpigmentation means something needs to be fixed.
By the way, I made home made deodorant using bicarbonate of soda, and it bleaches the arm pit skin! So some people might like this side effect, but some people would be sensitive to bicarb as well.
I am curious as to who does these studies and why. Is it cosmetic corporations or curious independent companies? What do they have to benefit from it and who funds it?
I do wonder about.. sunblock that is toxic to fish and etc. If I dont go into the ocean ever, but wash it down the drain will it have the same effect? I would hate to damage coral reefs n what not without knowing.
3:18 Use moisturizers with Niacinamide, licorice root or soy Hydroxy acids are not well tolerated Take breaks from antiperspirants but do not use "natural" antiperspirants
Very true about misinformation. The same with food and diets. I have had to do many years of researching scientific studies and watch debates on UA-cam before choosing a Whole-Food Plant-Based Diet. And I continue to do research as most doctors are not educated well about nutrition. Plus many Food companies hire their own private scientists to make false claims that put profits before patient care!
Not necessarily but talc is occasionally contaminated with asbestos, which can be harmful to human health. Edit: That does not necessarily mean that you should avoid it like the plague. That’s just the source of a lot of people’s fears.
@@lifebrarian I didn’t mean that you shouldn’t avoid asbestos, I meant that it’s an individual choice whether people want to avoid talc, which occasionally comes out as contaminated with asbestos. I apologize for any confusion. It’s similar to when romaine lettuce comes out contaminated with E. coli. Does that mean that you never buy romaine lettuce again? For some people, yes. For some people no. Should romaine lettuce be contaminated in the first place? Of course not.
Great breakdown of info of study. My takeaway from the study was that if we went swimming with zebrafish we could Hurt them. I didn't understand it at all! I also didn't realize they were combining different formulations
Same here. But i just one day stuck my shoulder next to my face and realised how shit my face looks compared to my sjoulder and realised ide rather get toxic chemicals than this lol
Thank you for the information on zinc oxide. I admit I stopped using all my sunscreens after that report because of how much negative spf research has been coming out lately. Really frightened me until watching your explanation. Thanks again!
It's true we do have easy access & even bombardment by the net to info we don't have the education to interpret & understand. I have already spent 5 hrs researching a news article to check the facts & the backgrounds. To basically quick learn enough to understand what the article was really saying & was that congruous with the article's title.
Is it still okay to LAYER coated mineral sunscreen over chemical sunscreen containing Avenbenzone? Ex: Avene Tinted Mineral Fluide (intolerant skin line) over Bioderma Photoderm Milk SPF 50+?
Michelle from Lab Muffin Beauty science always urges her viewers not to, I'm inclined to listen to that advice as she has a PhD in chemistry and is a cosmetic formulator.
Mah daily dose of Dr. Dray. :D My skin has been so dry lately and starting tret doesn't help at all, but Ive been trying this buffer thing with moisturizer. Hopefully, my skin get stays less irritated. :)
She and most derms tend to recommend derma blend. But if you're interested in makeup, there are some derms who have videos on makeup to buy. Dr Sam Bunting and Dr Shereene Idriss have videos of their makeup routines and products. Dr. Shiela Derm has a video on makeup for acne at Ulta. Dr. Sabrina Fabi, Cosmetic Laser Dermatology also has an acne makeup routine. Dr Vanita Rattan (I know not a derm) has done a best/worst of foundations for skin of color with oily/acne skin. She also has a video of her makeup routine.
I’ve been watching you for years and have combed through all your videos but can’t seem to find an answer to Zinc being drying. Both my boys have eczema and anytime I put Zinc sunscreens on them (which I prefer for sun protection), their skin literally almost starts to crack open it’s so dry. Should I avoid Zinc all together and just used Al sunscreen not containing it?
Thank you so much Dr. Dray! You help so many people with your knowledge & informations! I have 1 question, how effective Spf in sunscreen will be if we apply it on top of oily skin surfaces? I tried to apply sunscreen after good 10 mins thin applied rosehip seed oil. I can see it that sunscreen still can forming a film layer on top of oil, seems like almost no differences when I apply sunscreen after non-oily moisturizer, but not sure how effective Spf rating will be...
Dear Doctor , For over 30+ yrs we make our own DIY sun protection cream by using the original DESTIN DIPER RASH OINTMENT ( 40%) & mixing it with jojoba oil & glycerin into a thick white creme . We apply it on our exposed skin even inside the house / rain or shine outside ... We don't mind the mineral cast since our complexion is rather on a Mediterranean side . I wonder what do u think of this . Appreciate ur thoughts ! Thank you very much !
If what you wrote is all that you use then it doesn't have any sun protecting properties at all, I know some people diy their own spf with zinc or use coconut oil which has like spf 2 (which is not good either, spf formulation is a tedious process that undergoes a lot of testing) but this is another level. 😅
@@morgianasartre6709 point is spf is the hardest formula to get right. Chemist would've spent years of study and firmulation tk ensure the right protection as to tge extent of hiw long how far and how effective is it as well as paper based science facts thay simple diy cannot capture
Thank you for this clarification! I appreciate your expertise and feel lucky to have found your channel. It would be easy to come across that study and immediately feel apprehensive about using zinc oxide. You explained the limitations of the study so beautifully! Thank you! I do have a question about using a zinc oxide powder on top of a separate chemical sunscreen product. I use chemical sunscreen-supergoop unseen sunscreen and use BrushonBlock mineral sunscreen as my last step. And I usually reapply with this mineral sunscreen throughout the day. Is there any way to know if they use Coated zinc oxide? I’d hate to think that by adding this mineral sunscreen that it would somehow be degrading the chemical sunscreen underneath. Since it is not a combination product with chemical and mineral together I’m not sure if there would be any concern over that?
I use chemical sunscreen topped with mineral makeup, but l am not sure if the zinc oxude in the mineral makeup is coated or uncoated. Should l be concerned about this? Not in terms of toxicity, but in terms of the sunscreen degrading rapidly. I am so diligent with sunscreen, would hate for all that effort and expense to be for nothing.
I wish I would have had success with the nutrogena product. It burned intensely when I put it on and it wreaked my skin after multiple uses over the span of a week or so. My skin became so dry and irritated that I couldn't even use my normal products without my face feeling like it was melting off. I stopped using it and noticed an improvement within two days.
No but it is toxic to dogs bc it can cause a certain kind of anemia humans can't get so you shouldn't let them lick it off and the only safe sunscreen for dogs is titanium oxide. It can be hard to find a titanium-only sunscreen but I ordered one by FarmStay from S. Korea.

I have had to work very hard to overcome my tendencies to have a lot of medical anxiety and some of my brothers have started to avoid medical care. Even though none of us have ever personally had a really bad experience. My parents also have some anti vaxxer tendencies so the whole COVID situation has been interesting. Thankfully they did get vaccinated. They are both over 65 and have pre existing medical conditions.
thank you so much for this video Dr Dray! you are such an important part of my personal research, i don’t know have the training or education on all the chemistry behind my products, but i’m glad we have someone like you to learn from outside of formal education ☺️
If I use sunscreen it blackened my face why? What should I do?
I’m the same way; late 20s and don’t wear sunscreen, sleep in makeup and only remove my makeup once every other day worn makeup wipe and use ponds to moisturize, no retinol and most ppl think I’m still in high school. My mom is the same way and she’s in her 50s and ppl think she’s in her 30s. No one in my family wears sunscreen and we all have good skin.
so what do you want us to do?
Could you please make a video on how some skin hyperpigmentation is normal? It's really a bit frightening how some people think that any hyperpigmentation means something needs to be fixed.
Greetings d b hope u r well n Happy Thursday😀👍💜….
Happy Thursday, d b! I hope you’re having a good week👍🏼☕️💕🍁
@@vetsai8199 Happy Thursday, VE Tsai. I hope your week is going well and you are taking care.
This is a great video topic idea!
By the way, I made home made deodorant using bicarbonate of soda, and it bleaches the arm pit skin! So some people might like this side effect, but some people would be sensitive to bicarb as well.
I am curious as to who does these studies and why. Is it cosmetic corporations or curious independent companies? What do they have to benefit from it and who funds it?
I saw this and started to freak out as I use Neutrogena products as well as Elta MD.
Thanks. You're just lovely ♥️
I do wonder about.. sunblock that is toxic to fish and etc. If I dont go into the ocean ever, but wash it down the drain will it have the same effect? I would hate to damage coral reefs n what not without knowing.
“Wiser years”. Bless you

Use moisturizers with Niacinamide, licorice root or soy
Hydroxy acids are not well tolerated
Take breaks from antiperspirants but do not use "natural" antiperspirants
That's one I haven't heard yet. Some of these rumors are so baffling lol.
I use zinc oxide like sudocream almost 3 yrs now! And I can say is WOW it's work so good on me❤️ so no bad effects all good😘
Very true about misinformation. The same with food and diets. I have had to do many years of researching scientific studies and watch debates on UA-cam before choosing a Whole-Food Plant-Based Diet. And I continue to do research as most doctors are not educated well about nutrition. Plus many Food companies hire their own private scientists to make false claims that put profits before patient care!
Is talc in cosmetics dangerous to use. I keep hearing it is, but it’s in so many cosmetic products. Have a great day!
Not necessarily but talc is occasionally contaminated with asbestos, which can be harmful to human health.
Edit: That does not necessarily mean that you should avoid it like the plague. That’s just the source of a lot of people’s fears.
Asbestos has NO BUSINESS being in skincare. Any contamination is unacceptable. As a consumer, I will not tolerate it.
@@lifebrarian I didn’t mean that you shouldn’t avoid asbestos, I meant that it’s an individual choice whether people want to avoid talc, which occasionally comes out as contaminated with asbestos. I apologize for any confusion.
It’s similar to when romaine lettuce comes out contaminated with E. coli. Does that mean that you never buy romaine lettuce again? For some people, yes. For some people no. Should romaine lettuce be contaminated in the first place? Of course not.
Fortunately we have you to break down the studies.
Great breakdown of info of study. My takeaway from the study was that if we went swimming with zebrafish we could Hurt them. I didn't understand it at all! I also didn't realize they were combining different formulations
True. I had been wary of using sunscreens because of headlines I had seen about toxicity. Makes you wonder. So glad I found your channel.
Same here.
But i just one day stuck my shoulder next to my face and realised how shit my face looks compared to my sjoulder and realised ide rather get toxic chemicals than this lol
Thank you for the information on zinc oxide. I admit I stopped using all my sunscreens after that report because of how much negative spf research has been coming out lately. Really frightened me until watching your explanation. Thanks again!
It's true we do have easy access & even bombardment by the net to info we don't have the education to interpret & understand. I have already spent 5 hrs researching a news article to check the facts & the backgrounds. To basically quick learn enough to understand what the article was really saying & was that congruous with the article's title.
Honestly I dint even bother with the zinc oxide study... Idc wat nyone says am never gonna quit using ny type of sunscreen
Is it still okay to LAYER coated mineral sunscreen over chemical sunscreen containing Avenbenzone? Ex: Avene Tinted Mineral Fluide (intolerant skin line) over Bioderma Photoderm Milk SPF 50+?
See her video, how to layer sunscreen. She addresses that.
I think it’s dependent if they are using a Avobenzone not the newer filters which are stable.
Michelle from Lab Muffin Beauty science always urges her viewers not to, I'm inclined to listen to that advice as she has a PhD in chemistry and is a cosmetic formulator.
So many controversies about spf. What is happening? Just when the spf is more accepted now compare to before.
Thank you for addressing the sunscreen issue!
Is physical sunscreen 100% is safe to use or not ?

Can we have some skincare tips for a cold climate if you have eczema or rosacea please dr dray
Updated night time routine video soon! U are beautiful and glowing
I’d love to see her with some color and a smile!
Mah daily dose of Dr. Dray. :D My skin has been so dry lately and starting tret doesn't help at all, but Ive been trying this buffer thing with moisturizer. Hopefully, my skin get stays less irritated. :)
Dr dray what's your opinion on clinique makeup? Since they're all fragrance free? Any better than regular makeup?
She and most derms tend to recommend derma blend. But if you're interested in makeup, there are some derms who have videos on makeup to buy. Dr Sam Bunting and Dr Shereene Idriss have videos of their makeup routines and products. Dr. Shiela Derm has a video on makeup for acne at Ulta. Dr. Sabrina Fabi, Cosmetic Laser Dermatology also has an acne makeup routine. Dr Vanita Rattan (I know not a derm) has done a best/worst of foundations for skin of color with oily/acne skin. She also has a video of her makeup routine.
Thanks for looking out for our mental health Dr.! Bonus🔥
I’ve been watching you for years and have combed through all your videos but can’t seem to find an answer to Zinc being drying. Both my boys have eczema and anytime I put Zinc sunscreens on them (which I prefer for sun protection), their skin literally almost starts to crack open it’s so dry. Should I avoid Zinc all together and just used Al sunscreen not containing it?
I recently had an axillary breast liposuction which has left me with hyperpigmentation and scarring, this was much needed.
Is Badger a good brand? It's uncoated.
Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease about zinc oxide it’s really a lifesaver for melasma💕
I’ve been waiting for this ! I only trust hearing it from you! ❤️
Thanks for watching
So what *was* the use/focus of the study??
Dr. Dray! Looking pretty in pink. 💙
Thank you making this video!! Love your channel
Thank you so much Dr. Dray! You help so many people with your knowledge & informations!
I have 1 question, how effective Spf in sunscreen will be if we apply it on top of oily skin surfaces? I tried to apply sunscreen after good 10 mins thin applied rosehip seed oil. I can see it that sunscreen still can forming a film layer on top of oil, seems like almost no differences when I apply sunscreen after non-oily moisturizer, but not sure how effective Spf rating will be...
Dear Doctor , For over 30+ yrs we make our own DIY sun protection cream by using the original DESTIN DIPER RASH OINTMENT ( 40%) & mixing it with jojoba oil & glycerin into a thick white creme . We apply it on our exposed skin even inside the house / rain or shine outside ... We don't mind the mineral cast since our complexion is rather on a Mediterranean side . I wonder what do u think of this . Appreciate ur thoughts ! Thank you very much !
Don't diy your sunscreen lol there's lack of UV proticting properties
If what you wrote is all that you use then it doesn't have any sun protecting properties at all, I know some people diy their own spf with zinc or use coconut oil which has like spf 2 (which is not good either, spf formulation is a tedious process that undergoes a lot of testing) but this is another level. 😅
@@morgianasartre6709 point is spf is the hardest formula to get right. Chemist would've spent years of study and firmulation tk ensure the right protection as to tge extent of hiw long how far and how effective is it as well as paper based science facts thay simple diy cannot capture
@@apollorayken3774 Isn't that what I just said...?
@@morgianasartre6709 im just preaching to your choir
Thank you for this clarification! I appreciate your expertise and feel lucky to have found your channel. It would be easy to come across that study and immediately feel apprehensive about using zinc oxide. You explained the limitations of the study so beautifully! Thank you!
I do have a question about using a zinc oxide powder on top of a separate chemical sunscreen product. I use chemical sunscreen-supergoop unseen sunscreen and use BrushonBlock mineral sunscreen as my last step. And I usually reapply with this mineral sunscreen throughout the day. Is there any way to know if they use Coated zinc oxide? I’d hate to think that by adding this mineral sunscreen that it would somehow be degrading the chemical sunscreen underneath. Since it is not a combination product with chemical and mineral together I’m not sure if there would be any concern over that?
I might check out a video from Dr. Sam Ellis as she has reviewed the brush on block spf powder.
I use chemical sunscreen topped with mineral makeup, but l am not sure if the zinc oxude in the mineral makeup is coated or uncoated. Should l be concerned about this? Not in terms of toxicity, but in terms of the sunscreen degrading rapidly. I am so diligent with sunscreen, would hate for all that effort and expense to be for nothing.
I wish I would have had success with the nutrogena product. It burned intensely when I put it on and it wreaked my skin after multiple uses over the span of a week or so. My skin became so dry and irritated that I couldn't even use my normal products without my face feeling like it was melting off. I stopped using it and noticed an improvement within two days.
Thank you for the take-down of the unethical press!
We are told that zinc helps with melasma. Could you something for melasma … best practices
Thanks for clearing the Hyluronic acid part👍👍👍
No but it is toxic to dogs bc it can cause a certain kind of anemia humans can't get so you shouldn't let them lick it off and the only safe sunscreen for dogs is titanium oxide. It can be hard to find a titanium-only sunscreen but I ordered one by FarmStay from S. Korea.
Is nano zinc oxide sunscreen fine? Does it still protect from uv rays?
