Mineral sunscreens make use of particles such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to help reflect harmful UV radiation from the skin. It can be therefore said that mineral-based sunscreens create a physical barrier that shields the sun’s rays. In contrast, chemical sunscreens make use of chemical filters such as oxybenzone and octisalate which absorb the sun rays. This process leads to a chemical reaction that facilitates the release of energy as heat.

People with acne-prone skin, dry skin, and overall sensitive skin prefer mineral sunscreens over chemical sunscreens, as naturally occurring minerals are less likely to irritate the skin as compared to the chemical filters used in chemical sunscreens. Moreover, mineral sunscreens offer broad-spectrum protection thereby preventing premature skin aging while also offering much-needed protection from skin cancer.

Since mineral-based sunscreens are designed to create a protective shield on your skin, they start their work almost immediately. If, on the other hand, you are using chemical sun protection, a wait time of 20 to 30 minutes is recommended before stepping out, after its application.

Conventional sunscreens comprise chemical filters which may or may not prove to be harmful to your skin type, especially if you have sensitive skin. These sunscreens work by letting the skin absorb the chemicals, thereby increasing the chances of potential harm. On the other hand, the best mineral sunscreens, are formulated using natural zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, both of which simply sit atop the skin and protect it against sun damage by reflecting away the UV rays. Since the minerals aren't absorbed, the chances of them resulting in skin damage are next to none.

While SPF 15 can block around 94% and SPF 30 can block around 97% of the UVB rays, SPF 50 is known to block 98% of the UVB rays making it incredibly helpful for the skin. Hence, such a broad spectrum SPF can and should be used on the facial skin and other exposed body parts regularly to ensure complete sun protection.
