It feels good, smells good and makes us and our kids actually want to put sunscreen on every day-which is really what’s most important to us. Our Non-Mineral sunscreen formula (aka our Original sunscreen line) has been our go-to sunscreen for our own families since day one. Non-Mineral (also referred to as “synthetic”) sunscreens use non-physical active ingredients (Homosalate, Octocrylene, Octisalate, Avobenzone) to absorb UV rays by converting them into heat and sending them right back out to where they came from (absorbs approx ~95%+ of UV rays). So, what we can say (in a nutshell) is that neither type is “better”-it really just comes down to personal preference. Is one type of sunscreen “better” at protecting us than the other?īoth Mineral and Non-Mineral sunscreens provide Broad Spectrum protection from harmful UVA/UVB rays, they just use a few different ingredients to do it-more on all that a little later.īoth types of sunscreens are regulated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and go through intensive screening processes to evaluate the safety and efficacy of each product, ensuring that they are generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) by the FDA.

Do we go for Mineral or Non-Mineral? Oh, and what the heck is the difference between those anyway? Well, we created a little break down to help make some sense of it all-we hope.
