Skin Functional Introduces New Chemical & Mineral Sunscreens
Sunscreen is without a doubt one of the most important skincare products, and the most powerful anti-ageing product, on the market today. It’s an essential product for skin health and skin care, and with many options on the market, it can be tricky for sun babies to figure out which product they should choose to protect their skin throughout the year.
Skincare brand, Skin Functional, says it believes that effective formulation is key in offering overall protection without the tell-tale sign of visible residue. In fact, the feel of the sunscreen on the skin is one of the most important factors for consumers today, with recent consumer research showing a 609.7 percent growth in consumer searches for formulas that don’t leave a white cast.
Kevin Khosa, Customer Service Manager at Skin functional said: “This is why we have developed an entirely new product line within the company, Sun Functionl, set to focus only on sun care and sunscreen with tried and tested formulations that have proven to work and don’t leave that dreaded white cast after use. Sun Functional products provide protection against UVA and UVB rays, do not leave a white cast and are made from clean ingredients. A study from the NDP Group revealed that the number of sun protection brands focusing on clean ingredients have doubled in size since 2018.”

The new product line from local skincare brand Skin Functional is solely focussed on sun care and skin protection, and is premised on the brand’s ‘Skintelligence’ technology. The range currently includes a Mineral and a Chemical Sunscreen.
The SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen promises to protect against 99% of UV radiation. According to Skin Functional, the mineral sunscreen has been tested to reduce pollution-induced free radicals by over 85% with extremely high-transparency zinc oxide to reduce signs of premature ageing.
According to Skin Functional, the product has been clinically proven to enhance skin moisture by over 90% in 24hrs and is non-nano, chemical-sunscreen-free, silicone-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, cruelty-free, FDA USA approved and leaves no white cast.
The Chemical Sunscreen is also SPF 50 and offers UVA + UVB Protection. This lightweight sunscreen also offers anti-ageing and anti-oxidant properties without leaving a grey or white cast.
“Both sunscreens are sustainably sourced and made with the consumer in mind. A tip would be to choose a sunscreen that is suitable for all skin types, as your skin does not remain the same all year round and the environment does impact the characteristics of your skin. Choosing a sunscreen that has a high SPF and can be used for all seasons is easier on your pocket and your skin,” add Khosa.
With this new offering from the brand you will be able to get functional skincare products that have hard-working actives and hero ingredients to rejuvenate your skin at a more meaningful level.
Both products are now available on the Skin Functional website as well as all approved retailers.
