Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide:
These mineral filters sit on the skin’s surface and act as physical blockers, reflecting and scattering both UVA (aging rays) and UVB (burning rays). This provides stable, immediate protection that is ideal for sensitive or post-procedure skin.
Unlike zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which mainly protect against UV, iron oxides extend protection into the visible light spectrum. Studies show they help reduce melanin stimulation from blue light, which can worsen melasma and other hyperpigmentation. Their tint also helps neutralize redness and even skin tone for a natural finish.
