Choosing Your Sunscreen: Benefits of Mineral vs. Chemical

Updated: Jul 15, 2023





Choosing Your Sunscreen: The Benefits of Mineral vs. Chemical Looking for worry-free, fun in the sun for the whole family? Don’t forget your sunscreen! And whether you’re considering a mineral or chemical sunscreen, you can find plenty of options that are safe for use on your face and body, no matter what your skin color is. Both offer great sun protection and benefits, so it all comes down to preference. But maybe we should start with the basic difference between the two: Mineral Sunscreen Blocks Sunlight. Apply it to your skin so it can act as a cover to deflect sunlight. And it works immediately upon application. Chemical Sunscreen Converts Sunlight. You apply it to be absorbed into your skin, where it chemically changes UV rays into non-damaging heat. You’ll need to wait 30 minutes after application before sun exposure.


Due to skin cancer in our family, our dermatologist strongly recommended we use a sunscreen with Zinc Oxide. If you have the same circumstances, the Isa Knox Anew Solaire Everyday Mineral Face Protection Cream Broad Spectrum, below, has Zinc Oxide.

(Solaire UV mineral multi-defense sunscreen fluid spf 50+ more benefits)


Whichever sunscreen you choose, you’ll get best results using it regularly and consistently. (You and yours will have more fun, too!)
