Mineral UV filters are naturally-occurring mineral powders, used in sun protection products to absorb UV light. They work predominantly by absorbing UV rays, like their synthetic/chemical counterparts, with only about 5% of UV rays reflected. There are currently two mineral UV filters on the market: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
Mineral UV filters, also known as physical or inorganic UV filters, are naturally occurring mineral compounds used in sunscreens for their ability to provide broad-spectrum sun protection. The available mineral UV filters are Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide.
