Types of Sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens use ingredients that absorb UV radiation and release it as heat from the body. Physical sunscreens, on the other hand use ingredients that reflect the rays of the sun to protect skin from harmful radiation.

Ounce
Is how much sunscreen the AAD recommends [2] for most adults to cover their whole body. It should be applied on skin 15 minutes before going outdoors, and reapplied every two hours, or after swimming and sweating.
EFFECTIVENESS
We use the very ingredients in chemical sunscreens that make them effective, but then render them using our Sunexis formula to meet higher safety standards. The use of these effective ingredients allows our product to meet Sun Protection Factor (SPF) standards recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). [2] Learn why we set out to make these ingredients safer below.
HUMAN HEALTH
Chemical sunscreen ingredients have been proven to absorb into the human bloodstream, which may induce hormonal disruption and other potential toxic effects. They remain in the body for weeks, well past the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety threshold. Our sunscreen is again able to render these effective ingredients harmless to human health, and help you feel safer while using our product.
MARINE LIFE
Chemical sunscreen ingredients have been proven to be toxic to aquatic organisms. Hawaii has banned common ingredients in chemical sunscreen such as oxybenzone and octinoxate for causing damage to marine life and coral reefs. Our sunscreen's formulation renders these effective ingredients harmeless, making our product not just safer for you, but safer for the environment.
