What to know about hypoallergenic mineral sunscreens
Our mineral facet confirms the filters are zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which sit better on reactive skin than some chemical filters that can sting or irritate.
Our hypoallergenic score reads the ingredient list for fragrance and common allergens, and this pairs with mineral because sensitive skin needs both a gentle filter and a low-allergen base to stay calm.
Frequently asked questions
Are mineral sunscreens better for sensitive skin?
Often, since zinc oxide is soothing and less likely to sting than some chemical filters. Our score reads the ingredient list for allergens and fragrance so you can find a truly gentle formula.
Is fragrance-free the same as hypoallergenic?
Not exactly, though removing fragrance lowers a major allergen source. Our score reads the ingredient list for fragrance and other common allergens so you can judge the full allergen load.
