Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about SPF and skincare.
What is the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreen?
Chemical sunscreens absorb into the skin and convert UV rays into heat, while mineral sunscreens (Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide) sit on top of the skin to physically reflect UV rays.
Do I need to wear SPF indoors?
Yes. UVA rays can penetrate window glass, and blue light from digital devices can also impact skin health, making daily SPF essential even when staying inside.
Can I wear Supergoop! under makeup?
Absolutely. Many of our formulas, like Unseen Sunscreen, are specifically designed to act as a makeup-gripping primer with a velvet finish.
Are your products cruelty-free?
Yes, Supergoop! is proud to be Leaping Bunny certified. We never test our products or ingredients on animals.
How often should I reapply sunscreen?
For maximum protection, we recommend reapplying your SPF every two hours, or more frequently if you are swimming or sweating.
Is Supergoop! safe for sensitive skin?
Our formulas are dermatologist-tested and formulated to be clean and non-irritating, though we always recommend a patch test for highly sensitive skin.
