Is the Olay small white umbrella for isolation or sun protection?

Olay Little White Umbrella is a three-in-one whitening, sunscreen and isolation product, so it is more effective and does not have the alcohol smell like Anessa. But many people are not clear whether this sunscreen is physical or chemical, so let me explain it in detail below!

Is the Olay small white umbrella for isolation or sun protection?

Olay sunscreen is a chemical sunscreen, and 4 of its chemical sunscreen ingredients provide both UVA and UVB protection. Therefore, this new product from Olay that focuses on urban isolation has the excellent performance of SPF50+PA+++. The formula is gentle and does not contain harsh ingredients like alcohol and fragrance. And the safety risks of most chemical sunscreen ingredients are not high.

Four of the chemical sunscreen ingredients in Olay's Little White Umbrella provide both UVA and UVB protection. Niacinamide, trehalose, and Sepitonic, the main ingredients of OLAY, are the key to healing damaged skin. OLAY's patented ingredient niacinamide is OLAY's most well-known effective whitening ingredient. It can help the skin repair its barrier and make the skin hydrated and bright. Trehalose is an ingredient found in desert resurrection grass and deep-sea seaweed. It has the powerful function of strengthening the skin and repairing skin damage.

How to choose between physical sunscreen and chemical sunscreen

Common sunscreens in physical sunscreens are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. They can effectively block UVB and short-wave UVA, but their protection against long-wave UVA that can easily cause photoaging is relatively weak. Because physical sunscreen mainly acts on the surface and is relatively safe, it is not a good choice for sensitive skin and acne-prone skin.

Chemical sunscreens form a film on the surface of the skin but are metabolized within the skin, making them more irritating. Therefore, it is best to avoid this option for sensitive skin and acne-prone skin! On the contrary, it is more suitable for oily skin and combination skin! Another type is a physical and chemical mixed sunscreen, which contains both physical sunscreen ingredients and chemical sunscreen ingredients, which can more comprehensively protect the skin from damage by ultraviolet rays. From this we can see that for dry skin or slightly dry skin, you can choose sunscreen products with this type of sunscreen ingredients.
