Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a mineral sunscreen?

Mineral sunscreen, also known as physical sunscreen, contains natural minerals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that shield the skin's surface and reflect harmful UV rays.

2. How is mineral sunscreen different from chemical sunscreen?

Mineral sunscreens act as a physical barrier, reflecting UV rays, whereas chemical sunscreens absorb and convert them to heat. Mineral choices are softer and more appropriate for delicate or acne-prone skin.

3. Can mineral sunscreen leave a white cast?

Some mineral sunscreens can leave a white cast, but modern formulas provide a sheer finish that mixes nicely with most skin tones.

4. Is mineral sunscreen safe for all skin types?

Yes, mineral sunscreens are natural and are generally considered safe for all skin types, including sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin.

5. Does mineral sunscreen clog pores?

No, most mineral sunscreens are not comedogenic, which means they will not clog your pores. Always seek out formulations clearly labeled as such.

6. Can I wear makeup over mineral sunscreen?

Absolutely! Mineral sunscreens make an excellent base for makeup. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before applying foundation or other makeup.

7. How often should I reapply mineral sunscreen?

Reapply every 2 hours when outside, or soon after swimming or sweating, even if the sunscreen is water-resistant.

8. Is mineral sunscreen reef-safe?

Yes! Mineral sunscreens are generally regarded as reef-safe since they do not include toxic compounds such as oxybenzone or octinoxate, which destroy marine life.

9. Can I use mineral sunscreen indoors?

Indeed, you can use mineral sunscreen indoors, particularly if you're in close proximity to windows or encounter blue light from devices. Mineral sunscreen can help against UVA radiation and photoaging.

10. Is mineral sunscreen effective immediately after application?

Yes, mineral sunscreen works immediately after application, unlike chemical sunscreens, which take approximately 15-20 minutes to become effective.
