What to know about non-toxic mineral sunscreens
Our mineral facet confirms the filters are zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which sidesteps the chemical filters that draw the most endocrine scrutiny.
Our non-toxic score reads the rest of the ingredient list for watchlist preservatives and health-flagged ingredients, and this pairs with mineral because choosing mineral filters only addresses part of what clean-conscious shoppers want from the whole formula.
