Mineral options
For those who are concerned about chemicals entering their bloodstream, there are two types of mineral (not chemical) sunscreen ingredients considered safe and effective by the FDA: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
Sunscreens made with minerals physically deflect and block the sun s rays, as opposed to sunscreens with chemical filters that absorb the UVB rays and release heat as they break down.
Another plus â mineral ingredients don t appear to harm the environment.
The number of products containing minerals has been growing as consumers reach for products that are safer for both human health and the environment, said Carla Burns, EWG s senior analyst of healthy living science.
