Features
Sun allergies are a reaction to sun exposure in combination with the active ingredients of conventional sun protection products. These use two types of active ingredient:
1. types of absorbent active ingredients: These are organic-chemical UV absorbers whose molecules absorb the sun's UV rays. They include octinoxate, for example.
2. reflective types of active ingredients: These are mineral filters that reflect sunlight - like a series of tiny mirrors. Titanium dioxide is an example of this.

Features
Medically, sunburn is a 1st or 2nd degree skin burn.
Sunburn is - as the name suggests - triggered by sunlight, more specifically by ultraviolet, namely UVB and UVC radiation. When UVB or UVC rays hit human skin, they stimulate it to produce radicals. These radicals, in turn, are the direct cause of sunburn.
