The past week brought endless rain, but as the sun comes out this week, it’s time to embrace the summer heat and enjoy various water activities. We have introduced the latest facial sunscreens and after-sun care products before, and this time we recommend body sunscreens for you. But before introducing the products, let’s first understand the body sunscreens suitable for going out to sea!
In addition to considering sun protection, sunscreen products suitable for water activities are generally mineral-based physical sunscreens. Compared to chemical sunscreens, although physical sunscreens often cause whitening, they are more ocean-friendly in terms of ingredients. While protecting the skin from UV damage, they help prevent chemical substances from affecting marine ecology. Some places like Hawaii and Palau have legislated to ban the sale and use of chemical ingredients that may harm coral reefs. However, with the advancement of beauty technology, physical sunscreens on the market have made great strides in addressing whitening issues by using micronization technology that can fully blend into the skin. Now, let’s take a look at the following new body sunscreen products!
