What to know about non-comedogenic mineral sunscreens
Our mineral facet confirms the filters are zinc oxide or titanium dioxide with no chemical filters, which many acne-prone users prefer for its gentleness.
Our non-comedogenic score reads the rest of the ingredient list for pore-clogging oils and emollients, and this pairing matters because zinc itself is well tolerated while the surrounding emollients are what usually decide whether a mineral formula breaks you out.
Frequently asked questions
Are mineral sunscreens good for acne-prone skin?
Often, since zinc oxide is soothing, but the base oils still matter. Our score reads the full ingredient list for pore-clogging risk so you can find a mineral formula that stays clear.
Does zinc oxide clog pores?
Zinc oxide itself is non-comedogenic and even calming, so any clogging usually comes from the surrounding emollients. Our score reads those ingredients so you can judge the whole formula.
