If you look at the ingredients in aerosol sunscreens, you'll quickly determine why you don't want to breathe it.įirst Sunscreen to pass Whole Foods Premium Care Requirements More importantly, there is significant concern that children and parents are inhaling the particulates. As the SPF is actually a logarithmic function, if you are applying a SPF 100, you're actually only putting on SPF equivalent of 3. Scientists have shown that parents apply 25% of the correct amount when using aerosol.
We also do not and will not use aerosol dispensers, nor should you. Kevin Brodwick, founder of Thinkbaby and Thinksport explains why: "We always use the precautionary principle and as we expect the debate on the safety of nano particles to continue, we asked a simple question: Does the product have to contain nano particles to be an effective sunscreen? The answer is, quite simply, "NO"! Additionally, Thinkbaby and Thinksport sunscreens utilize average zinc oxide particles greater than 110nm. Don't be misled by ultra-high SPF numbers. You should know that the effective difference between SPF 30 and SPF 100 is approximately 2.5% difference. They have also ruled the terms "Sweatproof" and "Waterproof" as false claims. The FDA has recently ruled that SPF numbers above 50 are not allowed. Instead, these ultra-high SPFs are inflated through the use of chemical UV absorbers. An SPF higher than SPF 30 offers only minimal improvement in sun protection and does not provide insight into its ability to protect from both UVA and UVB. A quick look on your local drugstore shelf will show an increasing number of chemical sunscreens boasting ultra-high SPFs of 70 and greater. Thinkbaby and Thinksport sunscreen is highly effective, falls into the highest category for water resistance and has a sensible SPF 50+ rating.
