There are many benefits to trading your chemical sunscreen for mineral sunscreen! 

  • Broad-Spectrum Protection: Mineral sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection, shielding the skin from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays can cause premature aging and skin cancer, while UVB rays are responsible for sunburn.
  • Immediate Protection: Unlike chemical sunscreens, which need to be absorbed into the skin and activated (taking about 20 minutes), mineral sunscreens start working immediately upon application.
  • Less Irritation: Mineral sunscreens are generally less likely to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, making them suitable for sensitive skin and for use on children.
  • Natural Ingredients: Mineral sunscreens use natural active ingredients (zinc oxide) that are often considered safer for long-term use compared to some chemical ingredients.
  • Environmental Safety: Mineral sunscreens are typically more environmentally friendly, especially concerning coral reefs. Chemical sunscreens can contain ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which are harmful to marine life and coral reefs.
  • Non-Comedogenic: Many mineral sunscreens are non-comedogenic, meaning they are less likely to clog pores, making them a good choice for people with acne-prone skin.
  • Reflective Barrier: Mineral sunscreens work by sitting on top of the skin and reflecting UV rays away, providing a physical barrier that protects the skin.
  • Stable in Sunlight: Mineral sunscreens tend to be more photostable, meaning they do not break down as easily when exposed to sunlight compared to some chemical sunscreens.
  • Versatile for All Skin Types: Mineral sunscreens are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, and combination skin.
  • Reduced Risk of Hormonal Disruption: Some chemical sunscreen ingredients can act as endocrine disruptors, potentially affecting hormone balance. Mineral sunscreens do not carry this risk.
  • Effective for Longer: Mineral sunscreens often remain effective for a longer period compared to chemical sunscreens, although reapplication is still necessary, especially after swimming or sweating.

For best results, apply every 1-2 hours during sun exposure. Keep refrigerated when possible to preserve quality.

Love it!

I use sunscreen daily and have tried many different products, but this one stands out. I love how easily it blends with my darker skin, without needing to rub it in too much. It lasts a long time, so I don't have to reapply often, and it doesn’t leave that sticky feeling behind. The pleasant scent is a nice bonus too!
