Understanding Sunscreen: Mineral vs. Chemical
When it comes to protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays, choosing the right sunscreen is crucial. There are two main types of sunscreens available: mineral (physical) and chemical sunscreens. Each type has its unique characteristics and benefits.
Mineral (Physical) Sunscreens
- Formulated with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide
- Reflects UV rays away from the skin
- Works immediately upon application
- Less likely to cause skin irritation or allergies
- Great for sensitive skin
Chemical Sunscreens
- Contain organic compounds like oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate, and octinoxate
- Absorb UV rays and convert them into heat, which is then released from the skin
- May take about 20-30 minutes to become effective after application
- Lightweight and cosmetically elegant
- Can be irritating for sensitive skin
It is essential to choose a sunscreen that suits your skin type and provides adequate protection. Mineral sunscreens are a great choice for individuals with sensitive skin or those prone to allergies, while chemical sunscreens offer a lightweight option with quick absorption. Whichever type you choose, make sure to apply sunscreen generously and reapply as needed to shield your skin from the sun's harmful effects.

I have used them before but can’t find a supplier in Nairobi. How do I get the full rage, cleanser, toner, day and night moisturiser for anti aging and serums. I have a dry skin.
