Unsure where to begin? Understanding the difference between chemical and physical sunscreen can help you choose.
Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat, which is then released from the skin. These formulas often feel lightweight and non-greasy, making them perfect for everyday use and under makeup. They’re easily applied and less likely to leave a white cast. Chemical sunscreens need to be applied 20-30 minutes before sun exposure to be effective. Some of our top selling chemical sunscreens include the Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport SPF50 156ml, which is water-resistant, blends smoothly into the skin and features Oleosome Technology to help powerfully defend skin against the sun's damaging rays. Dermalogica Clear Start Clearing Defense SPF30 59ml is also a chemical sunscreen which mattifies, protects breakout-prone skin and reduces shine.
Physical sunscreens act as a shield to reflect UV rays away from the skin. They’re usually formulated with natural ingredients like zinc oxide. They’re a suitable option for those with sensitive skin. Physical sunscreens are effective immediately. Check out the Neostrata Defend Sheer Physical Protector Spf 50 - 50ml (Mineral Sunscreen), which is a an ultra-sheer, mattifying treatment formulated to provide photostable, physical broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection with a sheer tint that blends with skin’s natural tone.
