Choosing a mineral sunscreen
A mineral sunscreen uses zinc oxide or titanium dioxide as its UV filters, which sit on the skin and are often better tolerated by sensitive skin. Any sunscreen with the right SPF and UVA rating protects you if you apply enough, so the choice is about filters, feel and finish. The NHS advises at least SPF 30 and a UVA rating of four or five stars. Baie Botanique makes organic mineral sunscreens for face and body in SPF 30 and 50, Georganics makes Odyskin SPF 50 and Sintra Naturals makes a vegan mineral suncream SPF 30. Every sunscreen here met our standard on ingredients and transparency.
Natural sunscreen for face and sensitive skin
A mineral sunscreen for face use should feel light enough to wear every day and leave as little white cast as possible. Zinc can leave a pale tint on deeper skin tones, so a tinted formula or thin layers help. Georganics makes a tinted mineral stick in SPF 50 for touch-ups, and Baie Botanique makes an organic mineral facial sunscreen. A natural sunscreen for sensitive skin should be unscented, and mineral formulas are often the gentlest choice.
SPF moisturiser and moisturiser with SPF
An SPF moisturiser combines your morning moisturiser and sun protection in one step, which makes daily use easy. Douvalls makes an argan daily moisturiser SPF 30, SKNFED makes an organic SPF30 face cream with minis, and Bare Addiction makes a daily defence moisturiser SPF 30. A moisturiser with SPF suits everyday life, but for a beach day or a long walk use a dedicated sunscreen and reapply. Fit Skincare makes a sun protect serum SPF 50 to wear under makeup. Not every SPF moisturiser uses mineral filters, so check each listing.
Sunscreen for children and after sun
Children need sunscreen of at least SPF 30, plus shade, hats and covered arms in strong sun, and the NHS advises keeping babies under six months out of direct sunlight. Baie Botanique makes a baby sun cream in SPF 50 and family bundles, and Sintra Naturals makes Little Warriors mineral sun cream. Georganics makes a natural after-sun. Organic Sun Cream and Vegan Sun Cream narrow the range, Face Creams has night creams for afterwards, and Body Lotions & Moisturisers soothes skin after a day outside.
Common questions
Is mineral sunscreen better than chemical sunscreen?
Both protect you when used properly. Mineral sunscreen uses zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and is often preferred for sensitive skin and children, while chemical filters tend to feel lighter and leave no white cast.
What SPF should I use?
The NHS recommends at least SPF 30 with a UVA rating of four or five stars. Apply generously, and reapply every two hours and after swimming.
Does mineral sunscreen leave a white cast?
Some can, especially on deeper skin tones. Tinted formulas and thin layers help it blend.
Is an SPF moisturiser enough on its own?
For a normal day mostly indoors, an SPF moisturiser applied generously can be enough. For long spells outside, use a dedicated sunscreen and reapply.
