Frequently asked questions
whatās the difference between physical and chemical sunscreens? and which kind is daily SPF?
physical sunscreens, also called mineral sunscreens, protect skin by absorbing and converting, as well as scattering/reflecting the UV rays. chemical sunscreens protect skin by absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat energy. our daily SPF is a physical sunscreen that uses nanoparticle-free zinc oxide as its sunscreen filter.
what do SPF, PA, and broad spectrum mean? what value does cocokindās daily SPF have? Is it broad spectrum?
SPF stands for āsun protection factorā and it measures a sunscreenās ability to protect against UVB rays. the SPF number tells you how long the sunās UVB rays would take to darken your skin if you applied the sunscreen (as directed) compared with the amount of time without sunscreen. A broad spectrum sunscreen means it protects you from both UVA and UVB rays. PA is a sunscreen rating system often used in Asia and measures the level of protection against UVA rays. Our daily SPF is a broad spectrum sunscreen with a SPF rating of 32.
is this product reef safe?
unfortunately āreef safeā and ācoral safeā are unregulated terms and research supports that both mineral and chemical sunscreen filters have some degree of effect on the ocean. we also encourage customers to utilize other sun protective measures to minimize impact on the ocean, such as wearing hats and UV protective clothing (these are the easiest way to avoid environmental impact)!
can the daily SPF also be used as a moisturizer?
we definitely still recommend applying a moisturizer before daily spf, because the product isn't formulated to replace a moisturizer in your routine.
can I use your sunscreen on my kids?
both the Silk SPF and Daily SPF were formulated to be gentle and clinically tested and dermatologist-reviewed to ensure theyāre non-irritating. however, mineral SPFs are typically preferred by dermatologists for use on children, so we would recommend our Daily SPF. we still always recommend talking to your pediatrician and doing a patch test to ensure compatibility.
