mineral sunscreen
Zinc-based sun protection
Mineral sunscreen is a sun-protective product that uses physical blockers—typically zinc oxide or titanium dioxide—to reflect UV rays from the skin.
Distinguished from chemical sunscreens, which absorb UV radiation, mineral formulas sit on the skin's surface and are often recommended for sensitive skin: I switched to mineral sunscreen because chemical ones irritate my face.
