What is the difference between a chemical sunscreen and a mineral sunscreen?
Chemical sunscreens use active ingredients like avobenzone to absorb UV rays and convert them to heat, while mineral sunscreens use zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to physically block UV. Chemical sunscreens typically offer a lighter, invisible finish with no white cast, while mineral sunscreens are often preferred for very sensitive skin.
