Chemical vs. Mineral Sunscreen

July 26, 2023 by john von pamer

At CAP, we lean into high quality mineral-based SPFs, formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, to shield our skin from UVA and UVB rays. Fortified with plant powered oils, extracts and antioxidants, which help zinc blend into skin seamlessly, the mineral sunscreens we love and share protect our skin while nourishing, soothing and hydrating our outermost layer. If you see any ingredient listed in the active ingredient box other than zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, the sunscreen contains chemicals and doesn't meet our standards for clean beauty products nor the standards of the EWG. To better understand why we prefer natural formulations over chemical ones, and the key differences between the two, we created an easy to understand chart that you can reference at any time. Support your skin, the environment and your long term health when you make the switch and go mineral.
