What should I look for in a sunscreen for sensitive skin?

For sensitive skin, dermatologists often recommended looking for mineral sunscreens that contain either zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. All Anthelios sunscreens are tested on sensitive skin. All formulated and tested for optimal skin tolerance.

What’s the difference between a chemical (organic) and mineral (physical) sunscreen?

Mineral sunscreens contain mineral ingredients like zinc oxide & titanium dioxide sit on the top layer of skin & reflect and scatter UV rays. Chemical sunscreens contain organic compounds like octocrylene & avobenzone absorb UV rays on the skin.

What are the advantages and disadvantages to chemical vs mineral sunscreens?

Mineral sunscreens work as soon as you apply onto skin, but because they sit directly on the skin may rub or sweat off more easily than chemical sunscreens that take at least 15min to properly absorb, meaning skin may not be immediately protected.

How should I apply mineral sunscreen?

100% mineral based sunscreen can leave a purple or white cast on some skin tones. To help the formula blend into the skin, work in small sections and apply in circular motions. Rub well until formula is no longer visible.

What are the active sunscreen ingredients?

This is a 100% mineral sunscreen formulated with Titanium Dioxide (6.0%) and Zinc Oxide (5.0%) to provide broad-spectrum UVA/UVB physical protection.
