Questions

How do mineral and chemical sunscreen filters work?

Cancer Council explains that mineral filters mainly absorb UV and also reflect it. Chemical filters absorb UV and release the energy as heat. Both types can be broad spectrum and water resistant.

How are mineral sunscreens ranked on Skin Index?

The mineral category includes products whose ARTG filters are zinc oxide or titanium dioxide only. Products are ranked by checked regular unit price. Cancer Council recommends SPF50 or SPF50+, broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen without selecting a brand in this ranking.

What can affect how a mineral sunscreen feels?

The TGA says mineral sunscreens can feel thicker and heavier, while chemical sunscreens are generally lighter and less greasy. Texture is one difference described in its consumer guidance. Check each product's label and format when comparing.

How can I check whether a sunscreen uses mineral filters?

The TGA says the AUST number can be used to find a sunscreen in its public register, including its ingredients. Check that entry for zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and any other active filters. A brand name alone does not identify the formulation.
