Generally speaking, there are two major categories that sunscreens fall into: physical and chemical. Physical or mineral sunscreens stay on the skin’s surface and form a physical shield to block harmful UV rays, blue light, and infra-red rays.

On the contrary, chemical sunscreens get absorbed into your skin rather than staying on the surface. According to dermatologists, mineral sunscreens are safer options, offer more protection, and have no side effects because they don’t penetrate the skin. Take a look at the best mineral sunscreens worth trying this summer season and beyond.

It is non-comedogenic and contains hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, and niacinamide which make the skin plump, unclog the pores and give a soothing effect - all the while shielding your skin from the sun.

We’re already a fan of CeraVe’s hydrating and skin-soothing cleansing gels and facial formulas, and this list would have been incomplete without including their highly effective mineral sunscreen.
