Is there any difference between kids and adult sunscreen protection?
The regular Evy Sunscreen Mousse SPF 30 and Sunscreen Mousse SPF50 contain antioxidants that work well against premature aging. Apart from that, it’s the same formula. The main reason why our children’s products have an adapted formula is to help the market and consumers to more easily identify a product that is suitable for and checked according to children’s needs. The feel of the mousse and the user-friendly formula are the same for all EVY products and can be used from 6 months up. However, we recommend SPF 30 or higher for children under 16 years.
I get sunburn even when I use a high SPF – what am I doing wrong?
The fact is, most of us do not use enough sunscreen, or do not apply it often enough, According to dermatologists, on average we use roughly about 1/3 of what they recommend which means you are getting max 30-40% of the protection so you are ending up only having less than SPF 2 if you are using SPF 30. Another common mistake is to apply sunscreen after already having spent time in the sun, even if it´s just walking to the beach. We often misjudge how long we are able to stay in the sun without sunscreen. The sun gets stronger the closer you get to the equator, so even if it is chilly or cloudy, sunscreen is still recommended.
How can EVY be gentle to sensitive skin, yet so reliable?
Thanks to our unique technology, we can use longer lasting and less of active ingredients. Our formula contains about 70 percent water and effectively interacts with the skin, while only containing low levels of other substances. When it comes to allergic reactions, sun filters are usually the culprit. Regulations in different parts of the world are very different, and some contain up to 50% of sun filters. EVY uses low levels of UV filters while at the same time being efficient. You can tell by its fragrance that it is milder than many other sunscreen products. In many cases, the unpleasant smell of sun filters is hidden behind perfumes, which can also cause allergies. Some people are sensitive to both sun filters and perfume, but it might be difficult to establish the exact cause since they all carry a low-risk of causing an allergic reaction. All EVYs products have been dermatologically tested, which means that no subjects experienced any reactions in independent lab tests. EVY does not contain perfumes or preservatives.
