Discover the suncare solution for sensitive skin
Choosing the right sunscreen for sensitive skin can often be tricky. Sensitive skin requires extra research and sampling different products that often aren’t right. But what if we told you taking care of sensitive skin in the summer has just gotten easier?
Say goodbye to irritated skin, heat rash and inflammation. Saltee, a beautiful collection of premium suncare for the face and body, has been carefully formulated for sensitive skin. It lets you get out and enjoy the sun without having to worry about any unruly reactions. Read on to find out how Saltee protects sensitive skin.
What is SPF?
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It is a measure of how well a sunscreen will protect skin from UVB rays, the type of radiation that causes sunburn, damages skin, and can contribute to skin cancer.
It is important to note that a sunscreen SPF rating is only indicative of its protection from UVB rays. A sunscreen with an SPF of 30 will protect you against 97% of UVB rays and will protect you 30 times longer than if you did not use sunscreen.
All Saltee products are a minimum 30 SPF, with our face formulas providing 50 SPF.

What’s the difference between UVA and UVB rays?
UV radiation from the sun is transmitted in three wavelengths: – UVA, UVB and UVC. UVC does not penetrate the earth’s atmosphere, so we only need to protect against UVA and UVB.
As we all know, UV irradiation is associated with skin ageing. This is because UVA affects the elastin in the skin, which leads to wrinkles, sun-induced skin ageing and skin cancer. UVA can penetrate window glass, and can therefore affect the skin more deeply than UVB. UVA protection in sunscreen helps defend the skin against photo ageing and potentially skin cancer.
UVB is the form of UV irradiation most responsible for sunburn and has strong links to skin cancers such as malignant melanoma and basal cell carcinoma. A sunscreen with a high SPF will help block UVB rays, which prevents the skin from burning and therefore avoid damage that can cause skin cancer.
All Saltee products provide broad spectrum ultra-protection against UVA and UVB rays.
Re-discover your sun confidence
The Saltee collection has been carefully formulated with the perfect combination of ingredients to suit all skin types, even the most sensitive. All Saltee products are naturally derived, paraben free, dermatologically tested and only have a touch of fragrance. Saltee face products contain ingredient Venuceane which is an anti-oxidant, sourced from the ocean. Not only does it counter photo damage and anti-ageing, it also calms inflammation and protects against UV and IR radiation.
The combination of natural essential oils, including coconut oil, jojoba oil and avocado oil, provide the most ideal formulas for sensitive skin care in the summer. The avocado oil soothes the skin and helps repair any damages caused by the sun. It also helps absorbency for that ‘barely-there’ feel. The coconut oil gently calms and hydrates, whilst the jojoba oil provides an intense moisture for very dry skin.
Cucumber extract is also included to cool, calm and hydrate – a drink for your skin.

All Saltee products are independently patch tested by a third-party laboratory to verify that they are suitable ‘for sensitive skin’. We advise that if you have particularly reactive skin, it’s always best to test a small amount of Saltee to check that it feels as great on your skin as it has on other members of the #SalteeTribe.
