The European Commission and FDA in the US have called for limitations on using some chemicals in sunscreens. Some of the chemicals may irritate sensitive skin. In particular, Oxybenzone has been found to act like oestrogen and cause sperm production and endometriosis problems. There are also some issues with damage to the environment that I will discuss more later. Mineral sunscreen

If you’ve struggled to find your SPF soulmate with traditional chemical-based sunscreens, mineral sunscreens could be worth a try. Mineral sunscreens are a form of sun protection for our skin that use minerals instead of chemicals.Mineral sunscreens contain zinc oxide or titanium oxide. They work by creating a barrier preventing UV radiation from penetrating your skin. They immediately take effect, but they leave a white film that makes your skin look pale. They are far less likely to irritate sensitive skin. What makes a good sunscreen for surfing? As surfers, we all understand the importance of protecting our skin against that unrelenting fireball in the sky called the sun. Not only do you need to apply the right sunscreen to protect your skin, but also you need to, as a surfer, think about one that won't run in your eyes, that will last in the water for a whole surf session, and endure all the elements thrown at it.

We’ve also developed a natural skin cream called SETT ACTIVE. Its all-natural formula helps prevent painful chafing rash and soothes skin that has chafed. It’s the daily ritual to keep your skin in great condition and a must-have for surfers, cyclists, runners and anyone who suffers from chafing. Think chub rub and anti chafing and this is what our Rash Cream and ACTIVE cream prevents. Octisalate Slightly less of a bad guy. Octisalate has still been linked to skin allergies and may have affects on the endocrine system (hormones again!!)

Which is better, mineral or physical sunscreen?

Works well under make up as it is slightly lighter on the skin that our other sunscreens. Rubs in well with no greasy feel. Chemical sunscreens are designed to be easy to apply with a smooth consistency that soaks into the top layer of skin. Ideally, it will be invisible without any feeling of residue.
