Summer Product Highlight: Physical Fusion UV Defense Sunscreen 

Our favorite skincare brand SkinCeuticals (the only medical-grade skincare company in the world) has a sunscreen we’re obsessed with: Physical Fusion UV Defense Sunscreen. 

‍

We love Physical Fusion because it’s a dermatologist-tested, weightless, fluid sunscreen that combines 100% mineral filters with translucent color spheres for effective, broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and an even, radiant finish. 

‍

The science is clear on protection from UV radiation as an essential step in maintaining skin health. There are two types of UV rays that penetrate the atmosphere and can accelerate visible signs of aging and increase the risk of skin cancer:

• UVA rays: associated with accelerated aging and can penetrate through windows and clouds.
• UVB rays: damage the outer layer of skin, causing redness, blistering, and increasing the risk of cancer.

Physical Fusion protects from both types of UV rays, with filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that reflect the sun’s rays away from the skin by creating a barrier on the skin’s surface. 

‍

Key Ingredients:

• Zinc oxide: a UV-filtering mineral that creates a barrier on the skin to reflect and help protect against UVA and UVB rays, with distribution characteristics that help provide an even spread without a whitening effect.
• Titanium Dioxide: another natural mineral used as a mineral UV filter. This key sunscreen ingredient forms a barrier on skin to reflect and help protect against UVA and UVB rays.
• Artemia Salina: a plankton extract that boosts the skin’s natural defenses and resistance to UV/heat-induced stress, while strengthening the skin matrix and improving skin.
• Translucent Color Spheres: a color-infused technology composed of iron oxide spheres, which enhance natural skin tones and boost radiance with a blend of pigments that add a sheer tint and adapt to your natural skin tone without causing a white cast. 

‍

Directions:

• Apply Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 daily to decrease the risk of the damage from UV rays. 
• Apply liberally to face, neck, and decolletage 15 minutes before sun exposure and before applying makeup.
• Re-apply at least every two hours or after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating (it’s water resistant, not waterproof). Re-apply immediately after any towel drying or at least every two hours.
• Pair Physical Fusion with an antioxidant for maximum environmental protection. Together antioxidant and broad-spectrum sunscreen offer the most optimal protection from damaging free radicals and oxidative stress.
