Screen Sun Screen

Challenge accepted

Developing a natural solar product without a white cast seemed impossible. Other natural brands have been promising it for years, but when using it we were always disappointed. If you want to use a natural filter, you end up with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These work fine but leave a white haze on your skin. You can also use coated zinc, but that coating is made of silicone. That’s a big NO for us. We developed a vegetable coating (quite clever, we might add ;-)), which counteracts the white haze and is safe for our coral.

Oh so sensitive

Because all ingredients in the Screen Sun Screen are so mild and it contains zinc (which itself soothes the most restless baby bottoms), the Screen Sun Screen has a particularly calming effect on the skin. Over time, we have found out that women with, for example, rosacea or troubled skin notice that their skin becomes more beautiful and calmer as a result.

Shake it up!

Let’s talk about the substance. We are not a fan of emulsifiers (bad for your skin!) therefore the zinc in Screen Sun Screen sinks down into your bottle. Zinc sinks, that’s how you remember ;-). In order to mix the oil and the zinc, you will have to shake it really well each time you use it. Tip; think of the chorus of the song “Shake it up” by Taylor Swift as you hold the bottle tight. Starting the day with a dance is always a good idea, right?

Algjes & Blue light

Screen Sun Screen consists of more than just zinc and beautiful natural oils. We chose to add some algae as well. The algae are cultivated by the sea in France and have a protective effect against pollution. They protect your microbiome (natural skin flora) that can be damaged by (air) pollution and protect you against blue light.

Blue light penetrates the skin layer where elastin and collagen is produced and breaks it down. What can happen? Think of premature skin aging, such as wrinkles and pigmentation and a weakened skin barrier. From there, it can lead to sensitive and red

Did you know that UVA also passes through glass?

Usage

Shake shake shake. You apply the Screen Sun Screen after your morning routine and let it soak in before putting on make-up. We recommend reapplying the Screen Sun Screen after two hours in the sun. However, if you are going to sunbathe, we advise you to use a sunblock. Avoid the sun during the hottest hours of the day (always good advice ;-)

“Finally found a product that stops my hyperpigmentation in winter and summer :). I have been using the screen sun screen for a year now and I am so very happy with it. A real addition to my 3 step ritual. So glad I’m using Lois Lee now. So if you suffer from pigment spots, this one is definitely recommended to keep them under control!”

Frequently asked questions about the Screen Sun Screen

Usage

Why shake before use?2022-11-08T18:03:35+02:00

Shake well prior to each use, because the zinc sinks to the bottom and needs to be mixed properly with all the other ingredients.

Can I apply my make up (directly) onto Screen Sun Screen?2022-11-08T18:03:35+02:00

Yes, you can apply you make up immediately for some extra GLOW or wait a while until the formula has been absorbed a little.

How to use Screen Sun Screen.2022-11-08T18:03:35+02:00

Apply generously (8-10 drops) to face and neck every day after your regular skincare routine (Hydrating Essence + Nourishing Beauty Oil). Let it absorb before applying make-up. (re-apply after 2 hours if you spend the day outdoors in the sun). Cleanse thoroughly in the evening and don’t forget your PM skincare ritual.

Why blue light protection?2022-11-08T18:05:16+02:00

Did you know that too much blue light exposure can cause premature aging of the skin? Blue light enters the skin all the way to the dermal layer where elastin and collagen are produced and this can have negative effects on your skin. Such as premature aging, like wrinkles, hyper pigmentation and a weakened skin barrier. Subsequently leading to sensitivity, redness and impurities. Our Screen Sun Screen also protects against this type of rays.

What is Screen Sun Screen?2022-11-08T18:05:16+02:00

Not just sunscreen, but a unique formula for the face that offers daily protection against the three most important causes of premature aging of the skin: blue light, UVA / UVB and (air) pollution.

Why does one need a separate SPF?2022-11-08T18:05:16+02:00

A daily skincare product with SPF (e.g., day cream) is quite useless. It gives false expectations, because after applying it in the morning, it loses effectiveness within a few hours, which actually requires re-application. So, you’re unprotected for the larger part of the day. Also, in order to be effective, the filter should be one of the first, most important ingredients in the formula. That influences the amount of other active ingredients. Therefore, we recommend using a separate SPF.

How high is the SPF and why is it not higher?2022-11-08T18:05:16+02:00

Screen Sun Screen has an SPF 20 classification. Which might seem low, but the difference in level of protection between SPF 15 (93,3%), SPF 30 (96,6%) and SPF 50 (98%) is not that big actually.

What do I do with the empty bottles?2022-11-08T18:26:03+02:00

They are indeed almost too pretty to toss in the glass bin. It is however the best option. Glass has an almost endless recycling lifecycle, so by recycling the demand for virgin raw materials will decrease. Almost 90% of all the glass is recycled. Recycling also reduces the co2 emissions.

Review

“This is my latest favourite, what a wonderful oil! It is a bit of a mess in terms of use in the beginning (shake well etc) but my skin feels super soft and protected, and it lubricates wonderfully. Was a bit skeptical before purchasing but I am completely convinced!”
