Organic (chemical) filters absorb UV radiation and convert it into a tiny amount of heat as a defence mechanism to protect the skin. Inorganic (physical) filters, like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, primarily absorb UV radiation but also reflect and scatter some of it, similarly creating a small amount of heat in the process. These mineral-based ingredients act as broad spectrum UV filters, protecting against both UVA and UVB rays.

This demonstrates that our formulation is truly powerful, significantly reducing oxidative stress and protecting the skin from harmful radiation.

What does reef safe really mean? As ‘reef safe’ is not a regulated term, brands can claim their products are reef safe without any scientific backing. The most widely understood definition of the term is SPF that doesn’t contain the ingredient Oxybenzone which is suspected to contribute to coral bleaching. All SIMKA SPFs are free from Oxybenzone.

The effectiveness of SPF typically lasts for about 2 hours once applied. It is essential to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, or more often if swimming, sweating, or towel drying, to maintain optimal protection.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid Omega-3, and a building block of cell membranes in human nerves, brain tissue, eyes, and skin. DHA offers the most direct source of Omega-3 as it comprises over 90% of the Omega-3 fatty acids in your brain and up to 25% of its total lipid content. While it can be synthesised from alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based Omega-3 fatty acid, this process is very inefficient.

High EPA is unnecessary due to the fact that DHA can be converted to EPA by the body when it is required.According to research, EPA levels rise with DHA dosing, though notably, DHA levels never rise with EPA dosing. DHA is particularly prevalent in the brain and can be retro-converted to EPA, serving as a generator of EPA.
