Mineral Sunscreen
Mineral sunscreen protects your skin with mineral filters such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These filters sit on the skin and reflect UV radiation. Mineral SPF is often chosen for sensitive skin, because it contains no chemical filters. Modern formulas are much lighter than they used to be and leave far less white cast.

Mineral or chemical?
Chemical filters convert UV radiation into heat and often feel even a little lighter. Mineral filters work as soon as you apply them. Both protect well, as long as you use enough. For the highest protection, choose SPF 50. To top up, a sun stick is handy.
