What is Blue Light?

Blue light is a short, high-energy wavelength emitted by the sun. It is the light with the highest energy in the visible light spectrum and is also commonly found in 3C products, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, fluorescent lamps, LED lamps, etc.

Why is it harmful?

Blue light can penetrate deeply into the underlying skin and produce more* reactive oxygen species than UVA and UVB combined.

*Reactive oxygen is a byproduct of aerobic metabolism, including oxygen ions, peroxides and oxygen-containing free radicals. These particles are very small and very active due to the presence of unpaired free electrons. Excessive levels of reactive oxygen can cause damage to cells and genetic structures.

We are often exposed to blue light, which may cause the following problems:

• Skin inflammation
• Premature skin aging
• Damaged skin barrier

Surveys show that 60% of the population use electronic products for more than 6 hours a day. Currently, more and more studies are being conducted on the effects and safety of blue light, which has a wavelength between 400 and 500 nanometers. Zinc oxide, the main ingredient in sunscreen products, has a sun protection factor of 290 to 400 nanometers and can effectively protect against short and long ultraviolet rays UVA and UVB.

Studies have shown that even short-term exposure to blue light will increase the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). As we age, the generation of ROS naturally increases, but our ability to repair DNA damaged by ROS gradually decreases. In addition, the use of electronic products for longer and longer periods of time accelerates skin aging.
