This article discusses the benefits of an ingredient called bemotrizinol (BEMT) in sunscreen products. BEMT is effective at absorbing both UVA and UVB rays, has a large molecular structure that minimizes skin penetration, and maintains its effectiveness in sunlight due to being photostable. The author recommends applying SPF50+ daily, even when UV ratings are low, and emphasizes the importance of proper application techniques, including reapplication every few hours during activities like swimming or exercising.

Story summary
An ingredient called bemotrizinol (BEMT) has gained popularity in skincare products for its ability to protect against both UVA and UVB rays. While it has been used in some Australian sunscreens for years, BEMT was recently approved by the US market, generating buzz around its benefits. This ingredient is photostable, meaning it remains effective under sunlight without breaking down, and its large molecular size minimizes skin penetration, enhancing surface protection. Skincare experts recommend applying SPF50+ daily when UV ratings exceed three, emphasizing thorough application and reapplication every few hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

Don’t forget to apply sunscreen liberally (usually more than you think you may need; your face alone needs about 1½ teaspoons), and don’t overlook areas like your neck, ears and the backs of your hands.
