Let’s settle this once and for all — mineral vs chemical sunscreen.
Which one should you really be using?

If you’ve been confused by all the skincare lingo, don’t worry. We’re breaking it down super simple — just like you’d explain to a friend.

First up: What even is the difference?

🧴 Mineral Sunscreen (aka Physical Sunscreen):

Made with natural UV blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
Sits on top of your skin and reflects UV rays
Starts working immediately after application
Great for sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin

🔥 Chemical Sunscreen:

Made with synthetic ingredients like oxybenzone, avobenzone, etc.
Absorbs UV rays and turns them into heat
Takes 20–30 minutes to become effective
Can cause irritation or breakouts, especially for sensitive skin

So, which one is safer?

Mineral sunscreen wins, hands down.
Why? Because it’s:

Gentler on the skin
Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
Safer for kids and people with sensitive skin
Better for the environment, especially oceans

Why we love SunShield 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+

If you're looking for the best mineral sunscreen for daily use, SunShield by Barclay Italy is the one.

✅ SPF 50+ with PA++++ for serious sun protection
