You should also make videos on youtube, 🙏

@@facts-truth-lies Lab Muffin probably has videos on that.

Another chemist here to say the same. Nice job.

5:53 a really good explanation of the organic vs inorganic screens. There is a hole in the explanation though. UV is ~280-400nm. Looks like about 55% is reflected by Ti in the 350-400nm. Is there any absorbed? Does that mean that at those wavelengths 45% is getting through to my skin? What is the ultimate exposure comparison for a good organic vs inorganic. That’s the question that needs to be answered. In other words, with a recommended coat of both, what type of exposure across the UV spectrum am I getting?

​@@jacobovs only "broad spectrum" give the full protection in both UVA-I UVA-II and UVB. It's also a major myth believe by most is that physical sunscreens or inorganic suncreens reflect UV. Most are UV absorb by zinc and titanium only ±10% is actually reflected not much unlike organic chemical sunscreens. That from an actual cosmetic chemist PhD Michelle who made skincare and sunscreens. And that's the general consensus. Don't just believe one or few papers or even a person, google articles. To be scientific we should be looking to ALL *peer reviewed* papers and studies. Other Scientists constantly analyse each others' papers and studies. Which they then compile in a paper called systematic study. Look for "systematic study" in google scholar search engine. Also in general when youre searching for anything, use neutral non baised terms. I don't recommend using one side, baised term, and anecdotals like "negative health risk of..." "... is a cure for eczema" "What products dermatologist uses..." "What save my skin from eczema" "Health benefits of..." or "...does it cause cancer?" A.k.a every single clickbait title on the videos and articles. These kind of statements more often very one side than not. Which just give you what you already believed or opposite of what you believed anecdotally. Which not at all productive. We want a more complete picture *_both_* the good, the bad and everything in between as much as possible. So instead use more nuanced and open ended sentences like: "how does... ...effect eczema" "how does... ...affect the human skin applied topically" "how does oncology patients' skin responds on topicals" or "skin absortion levels of... ...in actual humans and its effects" As you can see there is a lot of nuances if you want to be more scientific. Also keep mind that theoretical effects whether positive or negative doesn't often translate to actual reality. For example, an in vitro "cells in dish" or animal studies of any kinds; is time and time again shown to not very useful in a lot of practical situations; apart from niche but Important studies. We actually have to read the entire study to get closer that the paper is actually saying. Or people should at least read the conclusions and discussion part of the paper always. So you can not see why is so confusing. It's not that easy to be scientific specifically if the believe you have a long time or emotionally attached to is being challenged. The brain kind of doesn't that as much a possible. It's basic human psychology. That's one of the reasons most people don't know the scientific method or/and critical thinking. Instead the human mind tend default to confirmation bias and anecdotals story that supports our own. So in reality, physical is better a sun protection because they absorb uv not reflect it just like chemical sunscreen. That's the one of the "holes" you mentioned. Sunscreens of around spf 15 still protect you most but ±7% of UVB, spf 30 only lets through ±2% of UVB and spf 50 lets go ±1%. If you have broad spectrum or in other countries high level of UVA-I and UVA-II rating. You get a lot of protection with both UVA and UVB.

should i even put sunscreen on at this point😢

@@nocomment2725 I feel the same. The sun is nature's disinfectant. I am afraid of sunscreens!

@@rasberryfields2132 the ironic thing is that the sun causes most skin cancers 💀

Hmmmmm. Maybe the expert dermatologist with a PhD in chemistry who is talking in the video? And not fearmongering idiots on the internet who talk about EWG

@@nocomment2725…….ummmm yes. Consistent sunscreen application significantly reduces risk of skin cancer and premature aging. The answer is very obviously yes. Backed by many many many studies. Not even sure why you’re asking as if it’s a controversial topic. Wear sunscreen.

Especially all the nano particles that seem to be in every sunscreen nowadays!

@@bitterrussian y’all it’s not that deep sunscreens are hella regulated chemical filters or not they are perfectly safe. It’s better to wear sunscreen than without!!!!!!

Sunlight can cause cancer. Chemicals can cause cancer. Which cancer is worse

Happy Tuesday

Thanks for watching

I wish I had worn sunblock and/or sunscreen as a young toddler and child when we went to the lake when I was young! If only we had known about this then! I wonder if I had always used high SPF sunscreen would I still have developed the skin disease Rosacea as an adult? My grandfathers were both sufferers!

You really are lucky!

It can help prevent cancer 😂

I know! I work as a ski instructor.. snow has 97% albedo so it's like double UV potential. Coworkers would judge me for putting on sunscreen making the cancer claim

@@DrDrayzday yup and my vitamin D levels are perfect due to supplementation and diet! Fear mongering is the worst

I’ve never had anybody tell me that before. Who do you hang out with lol. Seems like a lot of educating opportunities.

I've had someone call sunscreen "poison". Unfortunately, you can't convince someone like that. All you can do is recognize that it's everyone's right to do what they will with their skin. I can't force them to wear it, but it's also my right to put it on.

At long last YES. 😊

I think the big issue, that I'd be interested in seeing her talk about, is the argument about certain chemicals in sunscreen damaging the environment... From the NOAA's Ocean Service, some chemicals to consider trying to avoid in your sunscreen/skincare: Oxybenzone, Benzophenone-1, Benzophenone-8, OD-PABA, 4-Methylbenzylidene camphor, 3-Benzylidene camphor, nano-Titanium dioxide, nano-Zinc oxide, Octinoxate, Octocrylene

​@@mrahzzz just look for the ones that say reef safe.

@@ASMRyouVEGANyet aren't all chemical sunscreens not reef safe?

@@mrahzzz I think the best option for going into the water for prolonged periods is to wear a wetsuit for sun protection. This is a win win for you and the environment. Then once out of the water wear your sunscreen

I agree 100%

While I'm not sure what filters you're allergic to or where you live, you could try some European or Asian sunscreens if you haven't already! They have newer generation filters that are less irritating than the ones available over here in America (though I would check the ingredients list to make sure what filters they use, because a few over there have some american used filters in them)

I just found out I’m allergic to chemical sunscreen today :c it’s been horrible

@@audriiiiroberts3030 I've broken out with nasty rashes from them, it's not fun. 🙁

Might I say, that another adult speaking badly about you is surely not a good person and does not have the room to speak about anyone else while they themselves display such vulgar and childish behavior. They should be so ashamed of themselves. I’m so sorry about how it hurt you, that’s completely understandable. I would be really upset too. But they, just like anyone else, has experienced something (as you put it) ‘embarrassing’ such as a skin condition, somewhere on their body. And if they haven’t experienced something like that yet, they’re in for a rude awakening when something happens to their skin that they hope no one else will see or talk about. Please know, you’re not alone. We’re human beings. Stuff happens to our skin. It’s doesn’t feel great when our skin isn’t how we would prefer it to be…but we have a community here that is supportive and ready to help and not judgemental at all. All sorts of skin conditions are discussed here. And I hope that you can feel safe enough to discuss your issues here and receive any help and information you may need. And of course Dr Dray is so awesome for providing all this information. She’s one of the best sources here that you can really trust. I’d say above all else, a board certified dermatologist is worth visiting if you ever want to resolve a persistent issue as fast as possible. I wish all the best for you 💖🌸

@@Seal_pupagreed

Seriously I would’ve confronted them

Yep. I've found most inorganic sunscreens and combination sunscreens have solvents that don't play nice with the different ones used to formulate makeup. That being said, the Olay spf 30 combination (little pump bottle with a yellow ring) sunscreen that I know tons of people loved for makeup always made my eyes sting and broke up my preferred foundation. Unless I thinned a stick foundation in more sunscreen (obviously not as an actual layer of spf) I couldn't get that one to work. Otherwise, by itself it is great, although it's obscenely expensive. For the price I love the Eucerin spf 50 mineral and in the past used the Coppertone mineral kids spf 50 in the green bottle as well. Both tend to crease in the eyes so I usually use a setting powder very thinly applied over the top to hold everything in place.

@katydid5088 I'm putting on my makeup right now and I realized that I always have to blot my eyelids with a tissue with this sunscreen, before I start with my primer and eyeshadow

I use this everyday too and I love it! It's hands-down the best mineral 50spf I've been able to find for face

I came across a sensitive mineral sun screen from Blue Lizard in my digging because it's tough to find any sun block with over 5% titanium dioxide for a decent price. Still not done looking lol

@@coopergates9680that’s because it’s legally only allowed to be 3% by the fda in America and 5% in japan.

Yeah I saw a dermatologist for my melasma and they stressed the importance of specifically using mineral sunscreen for hyperpigmentation. It's unfortunate there are MDs spreading this misinformation.

!!! I have the same issue!! My son calls it my sun mustache😾

Can I use azelaic acid and tretenoin together in night time routine! Please answer

@@neha6687 Search Dr Dray azalaic acid and tretenoin. I think she just did a video answering that question

@@neha6687 I do.

@6687 she just did a video on azelaic acid yesterday. Yes you can

Sunscreen is not destroying the coral reefs....rising ocean temperatures are destroying coral reefs. There is no evidence, outside of artificial lab models, to prove that sunscreen is having a negative impact on coral reefs. You could probably repeat those same experiments with a coca cola and get the same results, and then with enough lobbying and money....get coca cola banned from Hawaii.

I live on the Big Island and the hype around “reef safe” sunscreen is a thing. I have never encountered the sunscreen police at a beach but I would not be surprised. I believe all sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate are banned however my derm carries an Elta MD with octinoxate. To me “reef safe” is one more buzz phrase to put on packages to make you think well of a product. Thanks Dr Dray for always providing sound facts. We are here for it.

@@DrDrayzday thank you 😊

@@sueraikow4721 I really loved our visit there but was a little stressed about the sunscreen issue - lol. Still plan to go back.

it's a myth about sunscreens harming coral reefs. It's climate change that is the cause. It's time Hawaii was up to date with their information.

Hello, I have purchased a product that doesn’t have a label. Is there anywhere I can test to figure out the ingredients?

Good point !

I have the same problem. White tinge to my skin be damned...i tried chemical sunsreens.and my eyes were so itritated I couldn't bear it. I wear my mineral helios sunscreen and pat it on and apply my foundation and I know my skin is protected...i have been wearing inorganic sunscreens for decades and my 57 year old face looks a lot younger as a result.

Happy Tuesday

There is no truth to the notion that the heat from chemical sunscreens worsens melasma, as this “heat” is on such a minutiae level, it is not anywhere close to increasing body temperature.

Yeah, I'm so tired of professionals trying to "help me" by selling me a better (and WAY more expensive) sunscreen because chemical's make the skin hot and both my melasma and rosacea to flair up .... 😝 Labmuffin has a good video about how that is just BS.

@@beer_bad Lab muffin ties to solely sell people on Chemical SPF…

Heat in general, flushing can cause worsening roseaca and melasma (sp?) best to all causes

And what about the fear regarding the absorption of chemicals in the blood???😢 Another fear that hormonal imbalances can be caused by the chemical filters and are not safe during pregnancy too😢

I noticed I develop allergic reaction (redness, irritation) to chemical sunscreens after a week or two. So it works okay for a while, but then it doesn't. I used beauty of joseon and hada labo.

It's the opposite for me. I have rosacea and always used inorganic sunscreens bc they were said to be better for sensitive skin. They irritated my skin so much and dried it out. I started trying organic sunscreens from Japan and Korea (specifically the beauty of Joseon relief sun, which is tested in 2 separate labs in Spain and Japan and is spf 50 PA ++++) and never looked back. Keeping an open mind and trying different things is so important. 😊 I'm so glad you found a sunscreen that works for you.

It's not to do with melanin. It's just different people's skin in general. Dry skin, sensitive skin, oily, aging, acne prone, etc... Everyone tries to make it about skin color these days..

​@@englishtea9163 i used beautoof joseon too and didn't like it. I went back to Murad oil Control sunscreen.

​@@ASMRyouVEGANyet Your use of the "everyone" fallacy suggests you're uncomfortable with topics related to skin color. So you make an unsubstantiated generalization and attempt to shut down my inquiry. If you have research from peer reviewed, scientific journals to support your statement that "it's not to do with melanin. It's just different people's skin in general", provide the citations.

Which one

Oh hey, high five! 🙏 It's always nice to know someone who's in the same boat as me. Lol. It's still kinda sad that we're only a mineral sunscreen kinda girls. Chemical sunscreens are waaayyyy cheaper in my country but sadly they sting so bad. And the physical ones that are tinted that match my skin tone are Hella expensive. 😅
