I would like to know about the sunscreen "SPF Protect Ultra". The staff mentioned its ingredients are OMC 33%, DHHB 22%, Oxybenzone 22%, Zinc Oxide 200nm 15%, and Octocrylene 8%.

  • Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive skin?

Answer

For Nighttime Body Lotion

For dry and dark skin that needs moisture and skin brightening/melanin reduction, you can choose these ingredients to mix into a suitable lotion base:

  • MelaninTerminate™: A protein extract from pearls that inhibits melanin production through a unique mechanism, blocking the receptor that stimulates melanin synthesis. Continuous use helps the skin appear brighter.
  • B3-Boost™ (Picolinamide): Research shows it effectively reduces dark spots and hyperpigmentation, comparable to 2% Hydroquinone, without significant irritation. Suitable for reducing various dark marks on the skin.
  • HR-White™ (4-Hexylresorcinol): A potent inhibitor of Tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin synthesis, more effective than Kojic Acid and Licorice Extract. It also has antioxidant properties, reduces inflammation, and inhibits AGEs formation, contributing to anti-aging benefits.
  • GlutaMoist™ (N-Acetyl Glutamine): Provides excellent skin hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and makes the skin stronger. It also has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties, reducing itching and irritation, making it ideal for dry skin.
  • TransMoist™ (PPG-24-Glycereth-24): Helps increase skin moisture and has a special property that helps other active ingredients penetrate the skin better, making the product feel faster absorbing.

Additional Recommendations:

  • Choose a lotion base that provides good moisturization, suitable for dry skin.
  • Add the skin whitening and melanin reduction active ingredients (MelaninTerminate™, B3-Boost™, HR-White™) at the recommended usage rates for skincare products (please check the recommended usage rate for each ingredient).
  • Include moisturizing ingredients (GlutaMoist™, TransMoist™) to help strengthen the skin barrier and make the skin smoother and softer.
  • Strictly follow the mixing instructions for each ingredient, especially regarding temperature and solubility.

Combining these ingredients will help you create a nighttime body lotion that addresses both the need for moisture for dry skin and effective skin brightening and clarification.
