What\u2019s the difference between physical and regular types?<\/span><\/h4>

Sunscreens are categorized as physical or chemical based on how they work:<\/h4>

Physical sunscreens reflect or scatter UV rays,<\/h4>

acting like a jacket that shields your skin from sun exposure.<\/h4>

Common ingredients include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.<\/h4>

However, just containing those ingredients doesn\u2019t automatically make a sunscreen physical.<\/h4>

To be truly physical, the only UV filters used must be titanium dioxide and\/or zinc oxide.<\/h4>

For example, DERMA DECIPHER\u2019sPhysical UV Protector<\/a>\u00a0contains only titanium dioxide, making it a 100% physical sunscreen.<\/h4>

Chemical sunscreens absorb and convert UV rays into heat to neutralize their effect.<\/h4>

Common chemical ingredients include<\/h4>

Many commercial sunscreens combine both physical and chemical filters,<\/h4>

so they cannot be labeled as purely physical sunscreens.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There\u2019s no right or wrong\u2014<\/h4>

just what works for you!<\/h4>

Physical sunscreens are generally safer and more stable,<\/h4>

making them a great choice for sensitive skin.<\/h4>

But they tend to have larger particles, which can feel heavier.<\/h4>

Chemical sunscreens tend to feel lighter and more comfortable,<\/h4>

but their small molecules may irritate delicate skin.<\/h4>

Those with sensitive skin should always check for trigger ingredients.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
