Is there a growing demand for natural mineral sunscreens ?

Yes, there is a growing demand for natural mineral sunscreens, especially as people become more aware of the benefits of natural and eco-friendly products.

Why mineral or physical sunscreens are so much better than chemical ones!

Why is the demand growing ?

• Eco-friendliness

  Mineral sunscreens or also commonly known as Physical sunscreens, are gaining popularity as consumers become more aware of the eco-friendly nature of the star ingredient in Mineral sunscreen, i.e. Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide which do not cause harm to the delicate coral reef of the oceans.

  
  

• Natural Ingredients

  Mineral sunscreen predominantly has zinc oxide or titanium dioxide or combination of both as the UV filter element that reflects the harsh UV rays, as opposed to Chemical sunscreen which uses synthetic chemical ingredients that absorb the UV rays instead.

  
  

• Awareness of Sensitive skin

  Mineral sunscreens are less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions than chemical sunscreens that are the most common type available to consumers.

  
  

• Awareness of Skinn Aging

  Exposure to UV rays can cause wrinkles and other signs of aging, which is leading to a demand for anti-aging sunscreens. 

  
  

• Chemical filter bans

  Bans on certain chemical filters in some locations, such as Hawaii and Mexican waterparks, have increased skepticism around chemical UV filters. The ban is due to the intrinsic nature of the chemical filters that harm the coral reef and other aquatic life.

  
  

• Increased accessibility

  Mineral sunscreens are becoming more accessible with a variety of active physical and biological ingredients for different skin needs. 

  
  

• Benefits of Mineral Sunscreens
