Mineral vs chemical vs hybrid sunscreen: what's your pick?
One sunscreen debate never dies: mineral vs chemical. Here's what usually comes up in communities.
Mineral (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide)
- Popular with sensitive skin or people whose eyes sting easily
- White cast and heaviness used to be the main complaints, though many say newer formulas are much better
Chemical (organic UV filters)
- Many prefer them for daily wear thanks to the light, clear finish
- Some report stinging eyes or skin, so experiences vary a lot
Hybrid
- Mixes both to balance feel and protection
- Especially common among Korean sunscreens
The shared conclusion
- Rather than one type being superior, most people say the best sunscreen is the one you'll apply generously every day
