What's the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreens?
Chemical sunscreens are formulated using a combination of organic chemicals that contain carbon, which act as UV filters. The active ingredients work by absorbing UV rays that hit the skin and converting them into heat, which is then released from the body. Mineral, or “physical” sunscreens use minerals such as Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide as their UV filter. Much of the information out there describes mineral sunscreens to work differently to chemical sunscreens, in that they reflect and scatter UV light. However, it’s important to note that this understanding comes from historical research when mineral particles were much larger. With new improvements in formulating mineral sunscreens (Micronized Zinc Technology) physical UV filters act in the same way as chemical UV filters, by absorbing UV light and converting them into heat.
Is this product suitable for babies?
Yes, like all of our sunscreens, Mineral Sunscreen SPF50+ is suitable for all ages and babies over 6 months of age. As with all new products, we recommend starting with a small patch test. It is not recommended to apply sunscreen on babies under 6 months of age. Although of course if shade and clothing aren’t sufficient and you choose to introduce sunscreen. In this case both our Mineral SPF 50+ and our Sensitive Sunscreen SPF50+ will be safe.
