Mineral/hybrid sunscreen so good, it beats chemical ones

Here's the thing : not many people will opt for mineral sunscreen because of the whitecast they leave on the skin. But mineral sunscreen is the safest choice when you have sensitive skin. They feel comfortable while providing enough shield. That being said after knowing the mechanicals of how different types of sunscreen works..at the end of the day the idea of chemical filters absorbing heat as a shield against the UV rays makes sense on why,even with sunscreen on,no actives on my skin, it still gets inflamed in some occasions. My country is sunny almost all year round, but this year feels typically sunnier.. So please share some good mineral sunscreen that you have tried which is better or on par with chemical ones. (I have my own list, but I think there must be better ones out there)

Actually, both chemical and physical/mineral sunscreen absorb UV rays. Physical/mineral sunscreen only reflects 4-5% UV while the rest are absorbed and then transformed into heat. This has been debunked many times by scientists and proven by this research paper here https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26431814/ You can also refer to Lab Muffin's video here https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSYMvVRVM/ which summarised the above research paper or read her article here which explains it more in depth https://labmuffin.com/how-much-uv-does-a-real-mineral-sunscreen-absorb-and-scatter/ It is true of course that mineral suncreen is often times more suitable for sensitive skin, but it's not because it doesn't absorb UV, since it actually does absorb just like chemical sunscreen.

Oh thanks. I think i have encountered too much dermatologist using the word 'reflect' associating it to physical filters. Thanks for clarifying. But it true though, i like chemical sunscreen since they have no whitecast but mineral ones feels much more soothing. Wonder why its that way? Do you have any to rec?

As someone with sensitive skin, my skin always develop redness after sunscreen. There’s only a handful of sunscreen that cause zero redness on me. I have been using mostly hybrid sunscreen (chemical + physical sun filters) of more recent formulations and they have been all working well! You can filter the review to sensitive skin only, it’s the most efficient way to find out the probability of irritation. I have been loving :
