Dieux Skin’s sunscreen ingredient analyzer breaks down complex sunscreen compositions into three intelligible categories — active UV filters (both mineral and chemical varieties), performance-enhancing boosters, and texture-modifying inactive ingredients. This categorization provides clarity about each component’s functional purpose and helps distinguish between elements that provide actual UV protection versus those affecting product aesthetics or stability. Particularly valuable is the nuanced explanation of boosters, which are defined as ingredients that straddle the line between active and inactive by potentially enhancing UV protection while primarily serving other formulation purposes.
The Dieux Skin platform’s refusal to vilify specific ingredients represents a welcome departure from the fear-based marketing prevalent in skincare.
