OS-01 Body SPF.

"They even just came out with a body SPF. By having this OS1 proprietary peptide, you're going to increase collagen production, but you're also going to clear out the old senescent cells that are just hanging out. It downregulates those senescent markers and by doing that you improve the epidermal thickness and reprogram your tired cells and actually maybe increasing collagen production in this way as well besides being a cell signaler and telling your fibroblast to make more collagen. So if you have crepey skin, if you're getting crepiness around the elbows, the knees, the décolletage area you want to work on, I think this peptide technology is quite nice and I love having it in my sunscreens. It has a zinc oxide base. It's quite lightweight. This is zinc oxide base, but you are paying for that technology and the price point is higher. I pulled up a recent paper that they did in reconstructed 3D skin models. The OS1 increased epidermal thickness, improved expression of barrier and repair genes."

"The second sunscreen is a new find for me. It's the body sunscreen by OneSkin. Now, this is only SPF 30 and I just put it on the exposed portions of my body. Usually my hands, kind of my arms in the summer and my décollete sometimes. This is a mineral sunscreen, but I will call out that it does have the octyl salicylate in it, which some are considering a chemical filter, but it's not necessarily recognized as that by the FDA. Another dose of those peptides definitely helps. I love the sunscreen. Have had no irritation from it. Who wouldn't want another dose of the OS1 peptide?"

"The OneSkin absorbs smoothly without the annoying white cast that store brand leaves on my skin, which is super common with cheaper zinc oxide sunscreens. If OneSkin have managed to make a mineral sunscreen that has less white cast than most other mineral sunscreens, possibly because they are using an SPF booster, that could make this rather expensive sunscreen worth it for some people, but it is only SPF 30, and white cast is usually not that big a problem for those."
