Mini Bloom Sunny Stick - SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen

Product Summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Salt & Stone - Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30" can provide reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. (UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product has an anti-aging benefit.

Sunscreen filters

This product is a mineral sunscreen. It uses zinc oxide for sun protection. Zinc oxide almost never irritates the skin or stings eyes, but it can leave a white cast.

Irritation risk

This product does not contain known common irritants and is suitable for sensitive skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this sunscreen to be low. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide reflects UVA + UVB rays helping to prevent premature aging and promote healthier, younger looking skin.

Source: Well

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.

Tocopherol0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Insufficient!

Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself

Butyrospermum parkii butter0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:Comedogenicity:HighConcentration:Insufficient!

A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

Evens skin tone

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).

Sun protection

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.

Zinc oxide20%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

A broad spectrum sunblock (protects from both UVA and UVB rays). Is suitable for most sensitive skins. In small concentrations, can be used as a colorant

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Deeply Hydrate and repair your skin with this antioxidant infused, highly nourishing mineral based sunscreen for the face and body.

Source: Well

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, cera alba.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Theobroma cacao seed butter0.15% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:Comedogenicity:HighConcentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function. Might have some anti-oxidant effect

Beeswax3.8% - 5.7%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen

Cera alba5.4% - 8.1%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

Cocos nucifera oil1.8% - 2.7%

Irritation risk:Comedogenicity:HighConcentration:Effectiveness:HIGH

An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic

Cetearyl alcohol2.4% - 3.6%

Irritation risk:Comedogenicity:MediumConcentration:Effectiveness:MEDIUM

A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture

Aloe barbadensis extract23% - 35%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:LOW

Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin

Glyceryl stearate1.5% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Effectiveness:LOW

An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together

Simmondsia chinensis seed oil0.55% - 1.3%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Insufficient!

Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.

Butyrospermum parkii butter0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:Comedogenicity:HighConcentration:Insufficient!

A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

Tocopherol0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:Concentration:Insufficient!

Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
