Here are a few FAQ & Answers that we copied directly from the manufacturer.  Please read these statements prior to purchasing Mexitan.  When we say "Chemical Free" we mean that it contains none of the traditional sunscreen chemicals.  Maybe it would be better described as a "Mineral Sunscreen".  As we have been told by many, "nothing is chemical free ... air is a chemical, water is a chemical" ... please read on for more information.

What are the active ingredients in Mexitan sunscreens?

Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, which are not harsh chemicals--they are natural minerals derived from clay. Both are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as safe sunscreens. Zinc oxide has been used worldwide for over 75 years as a blocking agent to prevent excessive sun exposure. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb ultraviolet light, Mother Nature has provided titanium dioxide and zinc oxide which reflect and scatter both UVA and UVB rays away from the body--forming a physical barrier to shield skin, without irritating or clogging the pores. Mexitan SPF 8 Lotion contains 2.5% zinc oxide and 2.5% titanium dioxide. Mexitan SPF 15 Lotion contains 3.5% zinc oxide and 3.5% titanium dioxide. Our SPF 30 Lotion contains 6% zinc oxide and 6% titanium dioxide, and Mexitan SPF 50 Lotion contains 22.5% zinc oxide and 6% titanium dioxide. These lotions are hypoallergenic! A skin condition called Contact Dermatitus results in 5.7 million doctor visits per year in the USA. Sunscreen allergies are very common when using traditional chemical products.

I love your products, but the sunscreen lotion sometimes leaves a mild white shine on my skin...is that normal?

Mexitan sunscreen protection stays on the surface of the skin, unlike chemical sunscreens which absorb into the skin. On certain skin types, and when applied heavily, the zinc oxide and titanium dioxide sometimes has a noticeable white appearance, which is comforting to know that the all-natural, mineral sunblock is on your skin to reflect UV rays, rather than absorbing into your body and to your vital organs. The SPF 50 is our most concentrated lotion and may leaves a more visible white shield on your skin than the SPF 8, SPF 15, or SPF 30 formula. As Mexitan is all natural and contains no emulsifiers, be sure to shake well before application.

It's not recommended to apply Mexitan lotion too heavily. For best results, apply a moderate amount so it'll rub in better. If applied too heavily there can be excess lotion that may appear to flake and crumble off. This is common and you can brush off any excess lotion and it will not diminish the UV protection. Mexitan is a "physical" sunscreen that works by reflecting UV rays away from your skin, as opposed to traditional chemical sunscreens which absorb UV rays. It's also been noticed that drier skin causes more possibility of flakiness, as the oils in the lotion are absorbed quickly.

If I use one of your SPF sunscreen lotions, will I still be able to get a tan?

SPF sunscreen lotions shield your skin from overexposure and reflect and scatter sunlight away from your skin. You may eventually develop a tan, although a minimal amount of UV rays can get through to your skin with physical sunscreen protection. A certain amount of sunlight is healthy for you, and if you already have a base tan, it can be effective to use Mexitan dark tanning oil for a limited period of time (WARNING--tanning oil does not contain sunburn protection) and when you believe you've had sufficient sun exposure then apply Mexitan SPF sunscreen lotion as directed to lessen additional sun exposure. By using this method you're more likely to enrich your tan, but be sure to use caution and limit your exposure to sunlight and avoid sunburn. After showering and periods of time in the sun, apply Mexitan Moisturizer regularly to help rejuvenate your skin cells and to give your skin a healthy, silky appearance.
