Tinted mineral sunscreen is a type of sunscreen that provides both sun protection and a hint of color to the skin. It is made with natural minerals, such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which sit on top of the skin and reflect or scatter UV rays. Tinted mineral sunscreens are a good option for people who want to protect their skin from the sun without having to wear a heavy, white sunscreen.
Mineral sunscreens are considered to be safer and more gentle on the skin than chemical sunscreens, which absorb UV rays and can sometimes cause irritation. Tinted mineral sunscreens are also less likely to clog pores and cause breakouts. They are a good choice for people with sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, or rosacea.
