DR WENDY CHRISTIEN - Mineral vs. Chemical Sunscreen: A Guide to Safe Sun Protection

Loading player...

Navigating the sunscreen aisle can be confusing. This guide breaks down the two main types: mineral and chemical sunscreens.

Chemical sunscreens, with ingredients like oxybenzone, absorb UV radiation but carry potential risks like hormone disruption and skin allergies. The discussion also covers the importance of sun protection for preventing skin cancer and sunburn, while balancing the need for vitamin D absorption.
