Mineral vs Chemical Sunscreen – Which Should You Use?
Overview
Mineral filters (ZnO/TiO2) vs organic filters (e.g., Uvinul, Tinosorb). Choose based on skin feel, white cast tolerance, and availability.
Mineral
- Immediate protection; may leave cast
Chemical
- Lighter feel; apply 15–20 min before sun
Tip
The best sunscreen is the one you’ll apply generously and reapply.
