How SunSeal™ Works
The patented Microskin™ technology used in SunSeal™ suspends the active UVA/B blockers to make them last longer on the skin and be more effective than any other skin or sun care product available anywhere else today.
When SunSeal™ is applied to the skin, the Microskin™ technology creates a protective film that acts just like your natural skin. This film is flexible, breathable, and allows for fluids to pass in and out of the skin just like they normally would. Because of the Microskin™ film, SunSeal™ provides a waterproof barrier that ensures long-lasting sun protection, eliminating the need for frequent reapplication.
The Microskin™ technology used in SunSeal™ is a liquidised simulated skin that performs in three distinct ways.
After the evaporation phase, the cellulosic and oil components in the Microskin™️ film migrate towards the skin’s surface and partially enter the corneum layer, our dead skin cells. This assists in binding the now dried Microskin film to the skin's surface and provides exceptional elasticity to the Microskin™️film. Microskin™️is formulated on more Lipophilic (Oil based) ingredients. These components have a difficult job continuing deeper than the corneum layer due to the lower epidermal layer having a higher water concentration and therefore considered more Lipophobic (Oil resistant). As we all know, water and oil do not mix, so this keeps the Microskin™️ and any of the ingredients suspended in it, from being absorbed into the skin.
Once the Microskin™️ film has dried, it attaches to the corneum (surface) layer. It is not absorbed further into the skin. It remains until the dead skin cells naturally shed. This process takes about 3-10 days. That is how Microskin™️ naturally leaves our skin.
The result is a long-lasting product that is safe for the whole family. SunSeal by Microskin is produced in one of the most highly regulated countries in the world for sunscreen, Australia. Only approved ingredients (food grade) are used, which have been shown to be safe and effective, and are watched over by the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA), which treats sunscreens as medications. Not all sunscreens have this seal of approval of safety and efficacy, which is why we chose to produce our sunscreen in Australia.
