What’s the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen?

Mineral sunscreen uses particles like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to reflect UV radiation from the skin, providing a physical barrier to shield the sun’s harmful rays. Chemical sunscreen, on the other hand, employs certain chemical filters like oxybenzone and octisalate that absorb the rays (instead of deflecting them), causing a chemical reaction that releases the energy as heat.

Many people with sensitive skin prefer mineral sunscreens as they are less likely to irritate the eyes and skin. Additionally, mineral sunscreens naturally offer broad-spectrum protection, thereby helping to ward off both skin cancer and premature skin aging. The reason why some people avoid mineral sunscreen is that many formulas leave a white, chalky look. ALASTIN’s formulas, however, provide all the benefits of all-mineral sunscreens with zero white cast.
