One of the primary concerns for people with darker skin tones is the infamous "white cast" issue. Many traditional sunscreens contain ingredients, like conventional titanium dioxide or zinc oxide for example, that can leave a visible white residue, which is particularly noticeable on deeper skin tones.
This white cast not only affects the appearance of the skin, but also discourages individuals with deeper skin tones from using sunscreen regularly. Recognizing this problem, some sunscreen brands have responded by formulating varying product formats specifically designed for people of color, offering a range of tinted options that blend seamlessly with different skin tones or even sunscreens that utilize nanoparticle technology with mineral UV filters. These developments not only address the cosmetic concerns but also encourages individuals with deeper skin tones to embrace sun protection as part of their daily routine.
Many innovative sun care products these days bring high performance, along with additional sensorial benefits. Click here to read more about Vantage’s sun care solutions that are inclusive for all skin types and skin tones.
