Chemical vs. Mineral Sunscreen

Have you ever wondered the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreen?

Let’s break them down.

Chemical sunscreens, with their lightweight texture and invisible finish, harness UV-absorbing molecules. On the flip side, mineral sunscreens, fortified with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, create a physical barrier against the sun.

While chemical sunscreens are very easy to apply, mineral sunscreens boast a gentle touch for sensitive skin, are longer-lasting, and are reef-friendly. Dr. Suzan Obagi’s pick? Mineral.

Thank you, I'm using chemical sunscreen and will definitely find something else now. I wonder if chemical will be good enough during the winter though? I use sunscreen everyday but there's barely any daylight in the winter here in Norway
