Why do some of your sunscreens leave white marks?
Our ECO SUN 100% mineral SPF50+ range and our Sun Sticks SPF 50+ contain mineral screens of natural origin without nanoparticles. These are the powders from mineral screens which can leave white marks. This is the natural color of mineral filters. SeventyOne mineral protection is immediately effective because mineral filters effectively block rays in addition to being recognized for their minimal impact on the environment and sun creams very well tolerated by all skin types. We constantly work with our French laboratory to improve the dispersion of mineral filters contained in our cosmetic products and minimize whiteout without compromising on our formulation beliefs. The quantity of product and the method of application are important factors in the final result on the skin. Find all our application advice online.

What is the difference between chemical filters and mineral filters?
Mineral screens provide protection across the entire spectrum of UV rays by forming a protective layer that acts as a barrier between the sun and the skin. Mineral screens are also called physical filters thanks to their covering power. These filters, without nanoparticles, are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
As for chemical filters, they have a protective action with and on the skin: they penetrate the epidermis and create a filtering layer which absorbs UV rays. They are active and effective between 20 to 30 minutes after application. Not all chemical filters are equal and the choice of these filters is essential in a clean beauty approach to respect consumers and the environment.
At SeventyOne, oxybenzone, octinoxate, and octocrylene filters, as well as endocrine disruptors, silicones and parabens, are banned from all our sun protection product compositions... 0% undesirable!

Sun Tips
What does SPF mean?
The “Sun Protection Factor” - in French Facteur de Protection Solaire FPS - corresponds to the sun protection index of a cosmetic product. In Europe, these protection indices are regulated by the index which determines the ability to protect the skin from UVB responsible for sunburn. The higher the SPF, the stronger the photoprotection action and the more the skin is protected. Indexes 30 and 50 correspond to strong protection and 50% very high protection.
How to wash clothes stained with sunscreen?
Using effective sun protection adapted to your environment is essential! However, creams can leave some unwanted yellow marks, especially on light-colored clothing. Indeed, designed for long-lasting effectiveness on the skin, SeventyOne sun protection products, formulated without water and with fatty substances, can penetrate the fibers of certain fabrics.
Our advices :
If the garment is stained : before machine washing, rub the fabric at the stain level with dishwashing liquid. You can also use Marseille soap, Terre de Sommière or a stain remover spray before washing to make these stains disappear. Phew :)
To avoid stains on clothing: We advise you to apply SeventyOne sun protection and wait a few minutes before putting on clothing. Choose clothes made of cotton or natural materials rather than synthetic textiles, which are more porous and more difficult to detach.
