Known as the `powerhouse of sunscreen`, Japan has never disappointed beauty enthusiasts with its sunscreen products.
The strict need to preserve beauty has pushed Japanese women to find effective ways to protect themselves from the sun and products that safely `repel` sunburn.
To better understand the different sun protection trend from the land of Japan, let’s first go through the basic bullet points about the dangers from harsh sunlight that sunscreen must overcome.
Unpredictable dangers come from sunlight
Sunlight can not only burn the skin during peak hot days but also UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays are extremely harmful.
What are UVA, UVB and UVC?
Ultraviolet rays (also known as UV rays, ultraviolet rays) that often appear in natural light are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths shorter than the wavelength of visible light but longer than the wavelength of X-rays.
UVA rays are long-lasting light rays, accounting for about 95% of the ultraviolet rays that reach the skin and appear whenever you see daylight.
UVB rays are rays that directly impact the epidermis, causing sunburn.
UVC rays (wavelength 100-290 nm) are the highest energy UV region with the strongest radiation but it never reaches the ground because it is absorbed by our atmosphere.
According to studies, UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays from the sun can easily penetrate window glass and even clothes, fabrics, clouds, etc. Therefore, even when you sit in a cool room, under
The sunscreen empire comes from Japan
Depending on each continent, sun protection needs will be different but they all need to ensure the most effective skin protection criteria.
In Japan, PA (Protection Grade of UVA) levels of UV protection are divided into levels:
-PA+: has the ability to protect against UVA rays
-PA++: relatively good UVA protection
-PA+++: good UVA protection
-PA++++: very good protection against UVA rays.
However, current sunscreen products all provide UVA rays that filter for a long time on the skin, usually about 4 – 8 hours (PA++), 8 – 12 hours (PA++++), or more than 16 hours (PA++++).
Most sunscreen products from Korea and America only reach PA+++.
One of the broad-spectrum sunscreen products from Japan that possesses PA++++ against more than 98% of ultraviolet rays affecting the skin and optimally protects the skin from the harsh Asian sunlight, which is loved by women.
If conventional sunscreen products only reach PA+++, then Sakura Physical Daily Defense – Physical sunscreen emulsion from Japan impresses with its high efficiency, surpassing the basic sun protection function through its technology.
Sakura Physical Daily Defense has an emulsion cream texture (a dispersion of two or more insoluble liquids) so it easily penetrates the skin, leaving no greasy residue or clogged pores.
In addition, this emulsion layer will block UVA rays to prevent signs of aging and block UVB rays to thoroughly protect the skin from sunburn.
Zinc Oxide: protects against sunburn, heals skin damage related to sunburn and supports effective skin tightening
Titanium Dioxide: effectively reflects UV rays, prevents UV from penetrating the skin, provides a matte effect on the skin surface, prevents skin from oil secretion, shine, and naturally brightens the skin.
Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract (Roman Chamomile Extract): anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, enhances skin soothing and moisturizing
Centella Asiatica Extract: stimulates skin cell repair, supports basic collagen, helps skin restore healthy brightness and youthful contours
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract: inhibits melanin synthesis, nourishes and improves skin tone
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (Green Tea Extract): strong anti-oxidant, prevents aging
As a typical representative in the Japanese sunscreen industry, Sakura Physical Daily Defense is a safe and effective solution for girls who want to learn about skin protection methods that meet Japanese standards.
