Why Mineral Sunscreen Is the Better Option
Share
- Gentle on the Skin: Mineral sunscreens use natural active ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which are less likely to cause irritation. They’re ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, or reactive skin types
- Immediate Protection: Unlike chemical sunscreen, mineral formulas start working as soon as you apply them — no 15-minute wait time!
- Clean + Reef-Safe :Most mineral sunscreens are reef-safe, meaning they don’t harm marine life like some chemical filters do. They're also often more aligned with clean beauty standards.
- Safe for Everyone: Gentle enough for babies, pregnant women, and people with skin conditions like eczema or rosacea.
- Non-Absorbing: They sit on top of the skin, acting like a shield that reflects UV rays — they don't absorb into your bloodstream, which is a concern for some chemical filters.
Note: Some mineral sunscreens can leave a white cast, but many modern formulas are tinted or ultra-blendable like ours!
