Frequently asked questions
What’s the main difference between mineral and chemical sunscreens?
+Mineral sunscreens (like SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+) use zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to physically block UV rays, sitting on your skin’s surface. They’re safer, non-toxic, and ideal for sensitive skin, with less risk of irritation or absorption. Chemical sunscreens, like those with oxybenzone or octinoxate, absorb UV rays and convert them into heat, but they can irritate skin and may pose health risks due to absorption. Mineral is gentler and eco-friendly.
What makes SUNNYBONANI® SPF 40+ a skincare hybrid?
+SUNNYBONANI® SPF 40+ goes beyond sunscreen with its skincare hybrid formula. It uses non-nano zinc oxide for broad-spectrum UV and blue light protection, while skin-loving ingredients like Niacinamide brighten, Bakuchiol fights ageing, Hyaluronic Acid hydrates, Ceramides strengthen the skin barrier, and Kalahari Melon soothes. This all-in-one cream prevents ageing and pigmentation, leaving your skin soft, glowing, and protected in one easy step!
Does SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ mineral sunscreen feel heavy on the skin?
+Not at all! SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ is crafted to be lightweight and non-greasy, ensuring a comfortable daily wear experience. Despite its mineral base, it blends effortlessly into your skin, delivering powerful protection without any heavy, greasy residue.
Is there a connection between UV sensitivity and skin colour?
+Yes, the Fitzpatrick Scale classifies skin types 1-6 based on colour and UV sensitivity. Lighter skin (Type 1-2) burns easily, needing higher SPF (40+), as it has less melanin to protect against UV damage, which causes burning and ageing. Darker skin (Type 5-6) has more melanin, offering natural UV protection, so it rarely burns and may need SPF 15+. However, all skin types benefit from broad-spectrum protection like SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ to prevent UV damage, ageing, and hyperpigmentation.

What causes white cast in mineral sunscreens, and how can it be avoided?
+White cast is the visible whitish residue left on the skin by mineral sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. It tends to be more noticeable on deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI), as larger, non-nano particles reflect light and don’t blend easily into the skin. To minimise white cast while maintaining full protection, simply mix in SKOON. COLOUR-ME-PERFECT ultra-light pigment drops. These drops instantly transform SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ into a custom-tinted sun cream that offers enhanced broad-spectrum protection and blends effortlessly into a wide range of skin tones.
What are non-nano minerals in SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+?
+SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ uses non-nano zinc oxide—a mineral-based UV filter that sits on top of your skin to physically block harmful UVA and UVB rays. “Non-nano” means the zinc oxide particles are larger than 100 nanometres, so they won’t penetrate your skin or enter your bloodstream. This makes it safer for sensitive skin and less harmful to marine life and coral reefs than traditional chemical sunscreens or nano-particle formulas. The result? High-performance sun protection that’s gentle on skin, reef-safe, and ideal for daily use.
What is oxidative stress, and how does SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ help?
+Prolonged sun exposure causes oxidative stress, where reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage skin cells, collagen, and DNA, leading to inflammation and hyperpigmentation. SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ fights back with clean, non-nano mineral filters (zinc oxide) for SPF 40+ and 3-star UVA protection, plus potent antioxidants. Together, they neutralise ROS, shielding your skin from damage, reducing inflammation, and preventing pigmentation for ultimate protection.
How well does a sunscreen with 25% zinc oxide protect my skin from the sun?
+A sunscreen with 25% non-nano zinc oxide, like SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+, delivers exceptional broad-spectrum protection. Zinc oxide is one of the most effective mineral UV filters, shielding your skin from both UVB (burning) and UVA (ageing) rays.
At this high concentration, it naturally achieves an SPF of 35–40, even without chemical boosters, and provides a UVA Protection Factor (UVA-PF) of ~12.5—well above the global standard for broad-spectrum claims. The result is a strong, reliable daily defence that’s ideal for sensitive skin, melanin-rich tones, and reef-safe beauty lovers.
Is SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ water resistant?
+No, SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ is not water resistant. It’s designed for daily wear and sun protection during non-water-based activities, offering a lightweight, non-greasy feel with SPF 40+ and good UVA protection.
Can I use SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ for swimming or water sports?
+This product is not suitable for water-based activities like swimming or water sports, as it’s not water resistant. It’s best for everyday use, such as work, casual outings, or light outdoor adventures, providing non-toxic, mineral-based protection for your skin.
How does SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ protect my skin from screen time?
+It also offers targeted defence against blue light from screens, which can accelerate premature ageing, fine lines, and pigmentation over time. This all-in-one cream ensures your skin is fully protected from UV rays and blue light damage in one simple, daily step!
Should I wear sunscreen in the evening?
+No, sunscreen isn’t necessary in the evening as there’s no UV exposure after sunset. However, if you’re exposed to prolonged artificial blue light from screens, using a product like COLOUR-ME-PERFECT HueBoost SPF20 Elixir with blue light protection can help shield your skin from potential ageing effects.
What is the UVA star rating?
+The UVA star rating measures how well a sunscreen protects against UVA rays, which cause skin ageing and contribute to skin cancer. It ranges from 0 to 5 stars, with more stars indicating better protection. For example, a 3-star rating, like on SUNNYBONANI® SPF40+ All-in-One Daily Defence Cream, means "good" UVA protection, shielding your skin from ageing rays while the SPF 40+ handles UVB (burning) rays. Always look for a balance of high SPF and a strong UVA star rating for complete sun protection!
How does broad-spectrum SPF40+ protection support daily and sensitive skin defence?
+With SPF 40+ blocking 97.5% of UVB (burning) rays and good UVA (ageing) protection, our non-toxic hero keeps your skin safe—whether you’re rocking it daily or braving the rays with sensitive skin.
