Note: There are two types of UV filters: chemical and physical. Chemical filters use active ingredients that get absorbed by the skin to block UV rays and protect the skin. Physical (or mineral) filters create a physical barrier on the skin to block UV rays. According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), zinc oxide is considered to be the safest physical filter. 

These products offered by Just the Goods as final sale.

Note from Attitude’s website: “Our products are constantly evolving, hence, please refer to the product packaging for our most accurate ingredient list.” -- Just the Goods will take very best efforts to identify changes and update this website

Also noted on Attitude’s website: “Please note that our products have always contained fragrances of natural origin (except for unscented products). The only thing that has changed is the way we display this information on our packaging. EWG has requested that we add the term *fragrance (parfum) to our list of ingredients because their internal standard now makes it mandatory for companies to indicate which ingredients are part of the fragrance.

Format

Sunscreen stick in plastic-free FSC-certified recyclable cardboard packaging. 

The smaller 20 g  / 0.7 oz sun stick can be applied more precisely to specific areas of the face such as the nose, cheekbones, or under the eyes while the larger 60 g / 2.11 oz sun sticks are more practical on larger areas such as arms, legs and back. Both products offer similar protection against the UVA and UVB rays. 

Please note: the packaging for this format may differ slightly from the visuals on this page.

Why choose an SPF 30 sunscreen?

SPF indicates the amount of UVB rays blocked by any tested sunscreen. But, did you know higher SPF doesn’t correlate to higher protection? Whereas SPF 30 will block 97.4% of UVB rays, SPF 50 blocks 98%. As you can see, the difference is relatively small. Although the numbers increase, your degree of protection isn’t significantly better. In fact, the difference between SPF 30 and 50 is minimal—SPF 50 only blocks an extra 0.6% of UVB radiation.

Percentage of blocked UVB rays:

• SPF 15: 93%
• SPF 30: 97,4%
• SPF 50: 98%
• SPF 60: 98,3%

What is the difference between Attitude's liquid and cream sunscreen? 

Attitude's liquid sunscreens are formulated with water and glycerin base, while their plastic free sun sticks contain oil, butter and wax. Their liquid sunscreens have a texture that provides a moisturizing feeling to the skin, while their sun sticks are more nourishing. To choose the right sun product for your needs, it is important to consider your skin type. People with dry skin or those looking for more nourishing protection may prefer our sun sticks, while those with oilier skin may prefer our liquid sunscreens.
