Aveeno Positively Mineral Sunscreen Stick

Product Information

It's a physical (or inorganic) sunscreen that has a lot in common with fellow inorganic sunscreen Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) but a couple of things make it superior even to TiO2. I also have very sensitive skin, and all the other sunscreens I tried clogged my pores, gave me a rash, or even made my skin peel.

A recent, 2016 study shows that inorganic sunscreens work mostly by absorption, just like chemical filters, and only a little bit by reflection (they do reflect the light in the visible spectrum, but mostly absorb in the UV spectrum). Purely physical sunscreen instead of chemical, and as such it does go on quite white and requires a bit of rubbing to get rid of the white. My son suffers from eczema and it dosnt seem to irritate it like other brands, he is getting older and going through the independent stage so it's nice to have it in stick form, so he can apply it himself! Although, there isn’t as much product in the tube it does work and easier to apply to a toddler who is always on the go.Its protection is very good between 290 - 350 nm (UVB and UVA II range), and less good at 350-400 nm (UVA I) range. Well, it used to be referred to as microbeads, as it was banned in 2015 in the " Microbead-Free Waters Act" due to the small plastic spheres accumulating in the waters and looking like food to fish. It is a super versatile polymer (molecule from repeated subunits) and when it comes to cosmetics, it is often referred to as microbeads.

It is particularly common in cleansing balms and stick-type makeup products due to its ability to add body, hardness and slip to these formulas.A physical/inorganic sunscreen with pretty broad spectrum (UVB and UVA II, less good at UVA I) protection and good stability. From the pediatrician-recommended brand, this baby sunscreen stick is designed for baby's sensitive skin and glides on easily for mess-free application. It is loaded with skin-goodies such as anti-inflammatory agent beta-glucan, skin nourishing lipids, and moisturizing carbohydrates.

It’s an amazing product and to date has been the most successful in reducing and calming my grandsons skin. The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improve both spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns.

It's definitely one of the best UV-filter agents we have today, especially in the US where new-generation Tinosorb filters are not (yet) approved. All in all, if you've found a Zinc Oxide sunscreen that you are happy to use every single day, that's fantastic and we suggest you stick with it. My baby and my wee quite sensitive to this we did get a little bit of a red rash so had to stop using it.
