Natural sunscreens often rely on mineral blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide (like our Sun Zapper sun creams!). These minerals form a physical barrier on the skin's surface, reflecting UV rays away without being absorbed. This approach can be gentler for individuals with sensitive skin who experience irritation from chemical sunscreens.

The environmental benefits are another compelling reason to consider natural options. Certain chemicals commonly found in sunscreens, like oxybenzone and octinoxate, have been linked to coral reef bleaching. By choosing natural, reef-safe formulas, you can help minimize your impact on delicate marine ecosystems.

If you're looking for a solution that prioritises both your skin's health and environmental impact, natural sunscreens offer a compelling option. Consider your individual needs – skin type, activity level, and desired level of protection – when making your choice. Remember, reapplication is crucial regardless of the type of sunscreen you use.
