Why is sunscreen important?

When it comes to skincare, many products focus on repairing damage. Sunscreen is vital because it prevents damage. Mineral sunscreens that contain minerals such as zinc oxide are the best choice. Zinc oxide is a natural mineral that is safe even on the most sensitive skin, including post-procedure skin and even that of children 6 months or older. Zinc oxide blocks UVB (burning) and UVA (aging) rays that have been linked to photoaging and skin cancer.

Elta MD FAQs

Is Elta MD Vegan?

Elta MD does not test any of its products or any of its ingredients on animals, anywhere in the world nor does EltaMD delegate this task to others. The only possible exception is if regulatory authorities required it for safety or regulatory purposes.

Is the Vitamin E in Elta MD sunscreens gluten-free?

To the best of our knowledge, the vitamin E in Elta MD sunscreens is gluten-free.

What does the SPF value on sunscreen mean?

SPF or sunburn protection factor indicates the UVB/sunburn protection provided by sunscreen. The SPF value indicates the level of sunburn protection provided by the sunscreen product. All sunscreens must be tested according to an SPF test procedure.

The test measures the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure it takes to cause sunburn when a person is using a sunscreen in comparison to how much UV exposure it takes to cause sunburn when they do not use a sunscreen. The product is then labelled with the appropriate SPF value indicating the amount of sunburn protection provided by the product.

Higher SPF values provide greater sunburn protection. Because SPF values are determined from a test that measures protection against sunburn caused by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, SPF values only indicate a sunscreen’s UVB protection. However, sunscreens that pass the new broad-spectrum test will have demonstrated that they also provide ultraviolet A (UVA) protection that is proportional to their UVB protection.

How can you get your best skin ever?

Sunscreen is a key ingredient to any skincare routine! To get your best skin ever, though, you want to incorporate other products that will repair damage, nourish your skin, and improve the overall quality.

Client’s Love

"Everyone that I've had a chance to meet at Sparkle have been very helpful. Alexandra was amazing and I really feel that I have the right products and plan to have clearer skin. Looking froward to it. I also didn't feel pressured in buying a bunch of products and have a good understand of what each product will do to help."

Y Leblanc

"Everyone was very polite and knowledgeable. There was no pressure to buy products. I was surprised with my consultation fee waived when I did buy products, there are monthly giveaways and it's always nice to feel like a company gives back. I felt unrushed during my consultation and that none of my questions were silly."

J. Clarke

"The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable and the services are amazing. I'll admit I can be particular and sometimes hard to please but at Sparkle I've always been happy with my services because the staff always take the time to make you feel comfortable and informed. I can't say enough about this place!! It's also a beautiful atmosphere."
