the truth about sunscreen safety
When it comes to sunscreen, not all formulas are created equal. Chemical and mineral filters protect in very different ways—and your skin can feel the difference.
Why Mineral Sunscreen Is Better for Your Skin
Chemical sunscreens act like sponges, absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat. While effective, they can irritate or dry out sensitive or reactive skin—especially when fragrance or certain synthetics are involved.
Mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) physically block UVA/UVB like a natural shield, offering:
- Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB defense
- Immediate effectiveness—no 20-minute wait
- Gentler protection for sensitive or post-treatment skin
