Sunscreen & Inairi: a risk-free duo?
Whether you're at the beach or the pool, sun protection is essential: but what if your Inairi swimsuit also gets a layer of sunscreen? From the risk of stains and reduced fiber performance to tips for avoiding a greasy feeling, we explain everything you need to know to enjoy the sun with complete peace of mind.
1. Sunscreen and its key ingredients
- Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide): particles that reflect UV rays.
- Chemical filters (avobenzone, octocrylene…): molecules that absorb UV rays and transform them into heat.
- Moisturizing and emollient agents (glycerin, oils…): provide comfort but can leave a greasy finish.
2. Possible impacts on your Inairi jersey
| Effect | Origin | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| White or yellow spots | Mineral filters + concentrated pigments | Rinse immediately with clean water |
| Greasey & slippery finish | Emollient agents in the cream | Apply to dry skin, leave on for 5 minutes |
| Premature wear of the fibers | Chemical solvents and perfumes | Choose a fragrance-free cream, delicate cycle |
3. 5 tips to protect your swimsuit
- First apply the cream to all exposed areas before putting on your swimsuit.
- Wait 5–10 minutes for the cream to penetrate and form its protective film.
- Rinse with fresh water immediately after swimming to remove residue and salt.
- Use a mild soap (Marseille soap or sulfate-free gel) when washing at 30°C.
- Dry in the shade to preserve elasticity and original colors.
4. Which sunscreen should I use for Inairi?
- Non-greasy formula (gel or fluid texture) to avoid a sticky effect.
- Chemical filters rather than mineral ones if you want less residue.
- Fragrance-free and alcohol-free , less aggressive on technical fibers.
Quick FAQs
