What Is Mineral Sunscreen? 

Mineral Sunscreen is a type of broad spectrum sun protection formulated with Zinc and/or Titanium Dioxide. These mineral UV filters sit on the skin's surface and help protect against UVA and UVB rays by absorbing, reflecting, and scattering UV radiation.

Are Mineral Sunscreens Good For Sensitive Skin? 

Yes, Mineral Sunscreens are popular for those with sensitive skin because their UV filters are known to be more gentle. This makes them a great choice for those with irritation-prone skin. 

Does Mineral Sunscreen Leave A White Cast?

Mineral Sunscreen can often leave a white cast, due to their thicker texture that sits on top of the skin. However, there are some that have been formulated to be lightweight or that have a universal tint to ensure it leaves no white cast.

Can I Wear Mineral Sunscreen Under Makeup? 

Absolutely! Just try to choose ones that are formulated to be lightweight and suitable under makeup and remember, it should always be applied as the last step in your skincare routine.

Did you also know that the SPF in your foundation isn’t always enough to protect your skin throughout the day? You should be applying (and reapplying) ½ a teaspoon of sunscreen for complete face protection, and don't forget your ears!
