Heidi Yi Mineral Powder Foundations are Broadspectrum SPF20+

All Heidi Yi Cosmetics Powder Foundations are registered with the TGA at an approved rating of SPF20+ .

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. This is a rating given to over the counter sunscreen products and cosmetics. It measures the sunscreen’s performance in absorbing or blocking UVB radiation. The way it works is the higher the SPF ratings number the greater the protection level. For example, an SPF sunscreen rating of 30 means if you use the sunscreen properly you can stay in the sun 30 times as long as without the sunscreen and get the same level of sunburn.

When you’re looking for a mineral powder with sun protection, choose one that has an Australian approved SPF rating.

All Australian cosmetic and toiletry products are regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and NICNAS, depending on if the product is categorised as a medicine or a cosmetic. Foundations fall under NICNAS as the primary function is to offer skin coverage with the secondary function being sun protection.

The TGA and NICNAS do not assume sun protection even though the product formula may contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. As we have said before all ingredients are not created equal, you could have a product formulated with 20% Zinc and 20% Titanium but if the ingredients chosen are not of excellent quality the SPF rating will not be as high as a reputable company such as Heidi Yi Cosmetics who always choose the best quality ingredients. The blending procedures used are of equal importance to the SPF of the final product.

All of our Mineral Powder Foundation’s have a Certified SPF 20+ and have gone through the 20-subject testing required by the Australian Standards, one of the strictest qualifiers in the world. But dont worry our Certificates cover your products worldwide, we have all the International Standards covered too!

An SPF rating only refers to the UVB ray; the ray that causes sunburn. It doesn’t indicate protection from the more damaging ray, UVA. RJ Mineral Cosmetics International Mineral Foundations products are Certified Broad-spectrum; this means that our Mineral Foundations offer protection against both UVA and UVB.

The truth about Sunscreen claims and your Heidi Yi Cosmetics Mineral Foundation Powder.

Firstly all sunscreens, either primary or secondary and covered by the Australian Standard AS/NZS 2604:1998, you can purchase a copy of this from SAI Global for further clarification.

A primary sunscreen is a product that has only one function, to act as a sunscreen.

A secondary sunscreen is a product that is firstly something else, for example a foundation, and then it is ALSO a sunscreen.

All Heidi Yi Cosmetics Mineral Foundation Powders are a secondary sunscreen product, in the first instance they give amazing coverage and offer a smooth complexion, ON TOP of that they offer you Broad Spectrum Sunscreen protection of SPF20+.

According to the standard Heidi Yi Cosmetics Mineral Foundation Powders are “At least 15 but less than 30 High protection sunscreen”, this is the second highest level and for a secondary sunscreen is an amazing achievement.
