Chemical vs Mineral Sunscreens

Chemical Sunscreens are the most common type of sunscreen and can typically be found on shelves at any drugstore or supermarket. The chemicals absorb into the deeper layers of your skin, allowing the sun’s rays to be absorbed as well. The chemicals provide protection by converting the absorbed UV rays into heat, which is released into the skin. UV light can also destroy the chemicals in the sunscreen, leaving you unprotected.

Mineral-based sunscreens, on the other hand, use Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide (sometimes both) to form an invisible barrier on your skin’s surface, which reflects and scatters UV rays away from your body. These minerals do not degrade in UV light, so you stay protected. When you use a mineral sunscreen, the sunscreen’s active ingredients do not absorb into your body, which can reduce the chance of irritation.

SPF Protection with Minerals

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and measures a sunscreen’s ability to block UVB rays. Zinc Oxide is able to block the full spectrum of UVB rays, providing superior SPF protection. While some big sunscreen companies push the idea that higher SPF sunscreens keep you protected longer, the actual difference in protection is smaller than you may expect.

An SPF 15 product blocks about 93 percent of UVB rays while an SPF 30 product blocks only 97 percent of UVB rays. After that, the difference in protection between an SPF 30 sunscreen and an SPF 50 sunscreen is a minuscule 1 percent, and no sunscreen blocks 100% of UV rays.

There is also a common misconception that higher SPF sunscreens allow you to stay in the sun longer without reapplying, but this just isn’t true. Every sunscreen, regardless of SPF, should be reapplied at least every 2 hours. If you’re swimming or sweating, you should be reapplying every 40 or 80 minutes, depending on the water resistance rating of your sunscreen.

Avoid the adverse effects of chemical sunscreens which often contain Oxybenzone and Octinoxate, which may harm both your skin and the environment in the long run.

Play, but not with your health.

Opt for our SPF 60+ mineral sunblock, a safer alternative to chemical sunscreen for high broad-spectrum protection on the golf course. Our mineral sunblock forms a physical barrier on the surface of your skin, reflecting and scattering UV rays away from your body and effectively blocks both UVA and UVB radiation and lowers the risk of skin damage.
