Mineral SPF, also known as physical sunscreen, utilizes natural minerals such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to create a protective barrier on the skin's surface, reflecting and scattering UV rays away from the skin. BareMinerals prioritizes mineral Sunscreen in its makeup formulations because it offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays without the use of chemical filters. Mineral SPF is also gentle on sensitive skin and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.

Mineral Sunscreen and chemical sunscreen work differently to protect the skin from UV rays. Chemical sunscreens absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat, which is then released from the skin. In contrast, mineral SPF forms a physical barrier on the skin's surface, reflecting and dispersing UV rays before they can penetrate the skin. Mineral Sunscreen is often preferred by those with sensitive skin or allergies to chemical sunscreen ingredients.
