About the Sunscreen

Alphanova's products are Cosmos Organic certified. They have strict guidelines regarding nano particles:

The particle size distribution (number of particles) below 100 nm must be less than 50%
The mass distribution (weight particle fraction) below 100 nm must be less than 10%

Alphanova uses titanium particles with a size between 185 and 300 nm. At this size, the particles are much too large to penetrate the epidermis; they remain on the surface of the skin to fully fulfill their role as a screen against UV rays.

The reason that nano is now on the packaging has to do with specific French regulations (it is a French brand) that have different rules than the rest of the European countries. In the rest of the European countries, a guideline for what nanoparticles are is maintained between 1-100 nm.

In France, mineral sunscreens have been marked [nano] since January 1, 2022.
The reason ? Several measurement techniques have been validated at the European level, but the French
authorities are currently using a new measuring technique (the MEB), which
aggregates to measure the internal particles. This measuring technique is currently only used in France. International measurement methods, the methods used allow us to:
do not write [nano] on our packaging.

TO KEEP IN MIND :
1 – Our formulas have not changed.
2 – French measurement techniques have evolved.
3 – Even if we write [nano] there is no skin penetration (supporting evidence with the study), so there is no risk of our sunscreens being found in the body.

Use:

This spray can be used all over the body and face.
Despite the fact that this formula is water-resistant, we recommend that you reapply it after swimming.
