Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays, while mineral sunscreens reflect them. Some prefer layering both for better protection.
Sorry for interrupting. Right? Sorry for interrupting. Oh, I guess we're kinda lagged here, but we're answering Nana's question, not my question about antichemical. Chemical versus mineral sunscreen. What's your take on that? Mhmm. Mhmm. Roundup. That makes sense. That makes sense. And so so you so is that very so so is that the reason also why you apply two layers? One chemical and then a physical, or is that just is that a completely different thing?
Chemical sunscreens use UV filters like avobenzone, while mineral sunscreens use titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Hybrid sunscreens combine both for better coverage.
Okay. So antichemical sunscreen. I mean, I I I mean, I understand where these people are coming from, you know, like, for example, avobenzone. Avobenzone is one of What? I think a hybrid version would be great, like the best of both worlds. Right? So many sunscreen out in the market, they have both. Like like, for example, RoundLab. Do you know RoundLab? You know RoundLab. Right? Or Beauty of Joseon, like the very popular sunscreen from Korea. Those two brands have they are hybrid. So they have two UV filters. One of them is Tinosorb and Uvenol. Those two sunscreen is manufactured by German manufacturer BASF. They patents. And so these are the two chemical sunscreen present. Although it is a Korean manufacturer, right? I mean, it's a Korean brand. But these two ingredients inside these two filters inside the SPF for Beauty of Joseon and Round Lab, they are from Germany. Okay? And Beauty of Josson and what is that brand again? Sorry. I have a brain fart. Oh, Beauty of Josson and the RoundLab. Right? They are okay. Sorry. My thoughts are everywhere. So anyway, they are actually not the manufacturer of the SPF. So they actually get it from an OEM. Okay? So the OEM's name is called Kolmar, k o l m a r, okay? A lot of Korean brands, I think even like Purito and I can't remember but there's a lot of brands, Korean brands that do not have their own lab. They just get it from an OEM, especially sunscreens because sunscreen have you need to do a lot of stability tests. There's a lot of regulation as well. There's a lot of testing and to make sure that this sunscreen of SPF 50, it does have SPF 50, you know what I'm saying? So there needs to have a lot of very rigorous testing involved. And after the testing, there needs to be a stability test and then it will be also a packaging compatibility test. There's a lot of testing for SPF. So it's not so easy for a company to come up with SPF. That's why I am not able to do SPF. Although what is the Singular's most important product in my opinion is SPF, yes. I said that in the first question, right? But when I do my company, why am I doing SPF when I say that SPF is is the very most singular most important product? It's because SPF is very difficult to formulate. Very, very, very difficult. So coming back to to the brands, Beauty of Jawson, RoundLab, I'm pretty sure that these two, the SPFs from these two companies, they actually get it from a Korean OEM called Colma, Okay? And they are very similar actually in terms of the UV filters, just that the texture, which means that the base of the cream is a little bit different. That's all. But the filters, like there are four filters. So two of the filters, as I mentioned, is German from the German manufacturer BASF. The remaining two is just classic titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. So this two is physical. So this four, it becomes so this sunscreen has four filters that makes it a hybrid chemical plus physical sunscreen. So when you ask me about which is better or I don't know, I think it works. Both of them works differently, very, very differently. And when they come together, it gives a comprehensive coverage, period. Yeah. But yeah. Thank
