Frequently Asked Questions

Health Canada recommends using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, applied to all exposed skin regardless of season or cloud cover. At IVONNE, we recommend Colorescience mineral SPF products that provide broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection in formulations designed for comfortable daily wear, including tinted options that blend with your skin tone.

Mineral sunscreens use zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to physically sit on the skin and reflect UV rays. Chemical sunscreens absorb UV energy and convert it to heat. Mineral formulations are preferred for sensitive and post-procedure skin because they cause less irritation, work immediately upon application, and do not require a waiting period before sun exposure.

Colorescience offers powder SPF formulations specifically designed for reapplication over makeup without disrupting your look. The Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield delivers SPF 50 in a convenient brush format that can be applied throughout the day. Reapplication every two hours during direct sun exposure is recommended.
