As you browse our wide selection of facial sunscreens, you may notice different names for our products:
- Primer sunscreen
- Hydrating mineral sunscreen
- Mineral growth factor sunscreen
Here’s a breakdown explaining the difference between physical (mineral) and chemical sunscreens.
CHEMICAL (ORGANIC) VERSUS MINERAL (INORGANIC)
The active ingredients in sunscreens are often divided into two categories:
- Physical sunscreen: includes inorganic (not carbon-based) ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
- Chemical sunscreen: includes organic ingredients or in other words, everything that is carbon based.
These names highlight standout qualities and benefits our sunscreens include and promise. Across the board, our products can be used on your face and body, are oil-free and fragrance-free, suitable for all skin tones and types (ex: oily skin), and smooths out fine lines and wrinkles.
Sonrei growth factor sunscreens are the best facial sunscreens (best SPF sunscreen for the face) and best mineral facial sunscreens to use as they include the growth factor Kinetin, proven to retain your skin’s moisture and reduce visible signs of aging such as uneven pigmentation and dilated blood vessels. Kinetin will help rejuvenate your skin. It won’t leave a white cast, but an invisible finish or matte finish instead.
Apply our gels, creams, and sprays generously especially if you are swimming or sweating to protect your skin from UVA, and UVB rays. Our hydrating sunscreens for the face are broad spectrum SPF 35. They can even be implemented in your skincare routine or as a primer under your foundation.
Even with a high SPF (sun protection factor), if a sunscreen isn’t broad spectrum, you won’t be protected from all UVA rays. It’s important to stay vigilant to make sure your sunscreen can adequately protect you from harmful radiation and decrease your risk of skin damage and cancer.
