    So I wrote earlier because I was concerned that my pure physical sunscreen wasn’t at all whitening.  I was worried that maybe it wouldn’t protect me.  It claims on the tube to “self-adjust to your skin tone,” but in the hand, it is stark bluish-white.  So today I applied it to my chest with my cream colored pajama top still on, thinking it’s white, so what harm could it do?  It turned my pj top brownish-orange everywhere it contacted it.  So there’s a tint hidden in that white substance.  What is going on?

    It’s tough to say without seeing the ingredient list. There not necessarily a “tint hidden in that white substance.” It could also be that some other ingredient is reacting with the PJ top to cause a stain.

    Thanks, Randy.  Here are the ingredients.  It does list “iron oxide.”  Weird that you can’t see it in the hand at all though.  It isn’t even faintly pink/brown–just white looking.  http://www.dermstore.com/product_Solar+Defense+Broad+Spectrum+SPF+30_23376.htm

    That is odd but iron oxides could certainly account for the orange staining.

    Is it possible they encapsulate the tint somehow??  It is so weird how it doesn’t show up until it hits your skin/clothes.

    I just googled “encapsulated tint,” and up came a review of this product!  The review describes it as follows:  “This non-greasy sunscreen also features micro-encapsulated pigment spheres that self-adjust to the color of your skin tone to deliver light, skin-perfecting coverage.”

    Could it be something like this?  http://www.dksh.com/htm/388/en/DKSH-and-Tagra-Biotechnologies-launch-Tagra’s-new-encapsulated-pigments-products-CameleonCaps™-at-the-In-Cosmetics-2015.htm?Id=658441

    Anyway, fortunately, I got the stains out of my top.  I’ll post separately about that process.
