Description

Everyone thinks mineral sunscreen is the “better” choice, but here’s the reality: the best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually wear every day, whether its mineral or chemical☀️ Mineral sunscreen can be a better option for some people with sensitive skin, but non-tinted zinc and titanium dioxide formulas can leave a white cast, which means they’re not always suitable for every skin tone. There are beautiful chemical sunscreen formulas that work wonderfully for sensitive skin and deeper skin tones too. Also, if the word “chemical” is what’s turning you off… remember: everything is a chemical. Even water. 💧
