Is DocLab UV Sunscreen physical or chemical?

DocLab UV Sunscreen combines the benefits of both physical (natural) and chemical sun protection, offering comprehensive and effective coverage for your skin.

Physical (Natural) Protection:

  • Contains mineral-based ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
  • These sit on the skin’s surface and reflect or scatter UVA and UVB rays
  • Provides instant protection upon application
  • Gentle and suitable for sensitive skin
  • Note: Titanium dioxide may leave a white cast, especially on fair skin tones, which can appear greyish. Applying makeup powder on top can help balance the appearance.

Chemical Protection

  • Includes advanced chemical UV filters
  • These filters absorb UV rays and convert them into harmless heat energy
  • Offers lightweight, non-greasy protection
  • Ideal for prolonged sun exposure

SPF Levels and Texture Differences

  • SPF 30:
    • Contains less oil, with a lighter texture
    • Suitable for everyday indoor use
  • SPF 50++++:
    • Offers stronger protection
    • Slightly more moisturizing due to added emollients
    • If the formula feels too oily, you can apply a light layer of makeup powder for a matte finish

Summary

DocLab UV Sunscreen is SPF 50++++ which delivers broad-spectrum protection by combining both physical and chemical UV filters. It remains lightweight, non-sticky, and is suitable for daily use, even on sensitive skin.
