Every sunscreen filter we carry, in one place

Sunscreen actives are the ingredients that do the actual UV work — mineral filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide sit on the surface and scatter light, while organic filters such as octinoxate and octisalate absorb it. Most of the broad-spectrum products here blend both, which is how a high SPF stays cosmetically elegant. Revision Skincare Intellishade Original SPF 45 and Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral SPF 36 add universal tint; EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 stays weightless on acne-prone skin; sunbetter TONE SMART SPF 75 goes highest on our shelf. EltaMD, Revision Skincare, Alastin and SkinBetter Science anchor this category.

Is mineral sunscreen better than chemical sunscreen?

Neither is universally better. Mineral filters tend to suit sensitive or recently treated skin, while blended formulas often wear more invisibly under makeup — the best sunscreen is the one you will actually reapply.
