Evaluating Sunscreen for Your Scalp & Hair

When summer comes around, sunscreen is the most common way to protect the skin from UV radiation and other skin-damaging factors. But what about your scalp and hair? Let's take a look at things to consider when evaluating sunscreen for scalp and hair protection and the products available to meet these needs.

Your scalp is just as susceptible to sun damage as any other exposed skin; UV radiation can cause burning, discoloration, and even skin cancer over time. The scalp, however, is more difficult to protect than other areas due to hair, and you may find it difficult to find the right sunscreen to protect it fully. When looking for a sunscreen to protect your scalp and hair, consider the following:

1. Sun Protection Factor: The higher the SPF of the sunscreen, the higher the level of protection it offers; look for an SPF of 30 or higher.

2. Ingredients: As with other forms of skin care, look for natural ingredients, such as plant-based oils and herbal extracts, rather than synthetics.

3. Application: Consider how easy it is to apply to the scalp and hair; many sunscreens require some level of manual application (i.e. brushing, combing, etc.).

4. Style: Evaluate whether the sunscreen provides adequate lift, styling, and volume, and choose one that works for you.

ZenonLife Skin Care offers a Scalp & Hair Sunscreen SPF 40 Protect, Style and Volumize. This product, fortified with collagen and silk amino acids, antioxidants such as niacinamide, green tea extract, coffee extract, licorice root extract and microalgae extract, and safflower seed oil and green tea oil, is designed to protect your scalp and hair from damaging sun radiation while rectifying any existing damage. The sunscreen also contains safe and effective UV actives, such as Homosalate (6.38%), Octocrylene (6.22%), Octisalate (3.00%) and Avobenzone (1.8%). The lift and volume technology also provide the styling benefits of fuller, bouncier hair.

By understanding the criteria to evaluate sunscreen for your scalp, you can ensure the best results in terms of protection and style. Stay protected while looking stylish and choose the right product for your skin!
