Image skincare DAILY PREVENTION pure mineral hydrating moisturizer SPF 30
Works for
Sun protectionSPF 30 · 1 UV filterBroad spectrum
This product offers a good level of protection against both UVB and UVA rays.
It is a mineral sunscreen. In other words, it contains non-organic UV filters. It will probably not sting your eyes but might leave a white cast.
This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.
Anti-agingAcetyl zingerone, Camellia sinensis leaf extract + 3 moreWorks well
“This dual-defense daily moisturizer with SPF 30 prepares your skin to face the day with broad-spectrum sun protection while reinforcing the vital moisture barrier and fighting future signs of skin aging.”
This product can help prevent early signs of skin aging because it offers a good level of broad spectrum sun protection. Sun damage is the main cause of premature skin aging, and protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging strategy.
These ingredients in the product can also help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity. There is some human evidence for them, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients: acetyl zingerone.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Acetyl zingerone, Camellia sinensis leaf extract + 3 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (acetyl zingerone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - camellia sinensis leaf extract, haematococcus pluvialis extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbateWorks well
This product offers broad spectrum sun protection. It means that it can prevent hyperpigmentation and help keep the skin tone even (sun damage is the main factor causing age spots, darkening of post-acne marks and other discolorations).
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone + 16 moreWorks
“DAILY PREVENTION™ pure mineral hydrating moisturizer SPF 30”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, mannitol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.
