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
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.”
