Mineral Sunscreen

Mineral Sunscreen

Mineral (or physical) sunscreens utilize zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to create a protective barrier on the skin that reflects and scatters UV rays away from the body. Because they do not absorb into the skin, they are ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, and reactive skin types

Mineral sunscreens are generally gentler on skin and may be the preferred choice for those with sensitive skin, dry skin, and eczema. This type of sun filter is also used in many baby sunscreens, such as CeraVe Baby Sunscreen Lotion. Like with all skincare products, reaping the full benefits of mineral sunscreen comes down to choosing the right product. Our mineral sunscreens are formulated with three essential ceramides and developed with dermatologists to be fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog your pores.

 

For a facial moisturizer with SPF, we recommend CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with Sunscreen. This morning skincare multitasker features broad-spectrum SPF 30 and InVisibleZinc™ Technology (micro-fine zinc oxide) that spreads easily, without leaving behind any chalky residue.
