With the amount of SPF products that come into our office we’re constantly having to narrow down our focus on what brands or ingredients we feature. As trending with beauty editors and bloggers alike, our intrigue is targeted to physical blocks rather than chemical sunscreens. They just seem safer for our skin and the environment. Throw in a universal tint and we’ve got ourselves a double duty beauty find that we must share with you like today’s featured brand TIZO.

TIZO was created by a dermatologist who merged both Titanium and Zinc Oxide into a light-weight, water-resistant physical block that simply feels good on your skin. If you’re thinking sunscreen is too thick or greasy, you haven’t met TIZO. Here’s my review on the brand and remember this is coming from a beauty expert who holds a pretty high standard to product claims…

TIZO3®

FACIAL MINERAL SUNSCREEN TINTED SPF 40

is available in tinted (TIZO3) and non-tinted (TIZO2) variations and are free of oil, preservatives, parabens and gluten. The Facial Primer both tinted and non-tinted are perfect for men and women. The finish is matte and creates a blur effect that I’ll take any day.

TIZO®

TIZO® Ultra Zinc Body & Face Sunscreen comes in a non-tinted and tinted mineral dispension suitable for all skin types and tones.

At SPF 45, TIZO® Tinted Lip Protection is one ofthe most protective lip products available while having a gentle kiwi lime, and ginger favor.

Chemical vs Physical

Chemical sunscreens are absorbed by your skin and allow the sun to penetrate into your body in order for the chemicals to screen or repel the harmful rays. These sunscreens are getting a lot of press right now and are even banned in some countries because the chemicals are actually disrupting our Eco-system in reefs and  ocean coral.
