What is Mineral Sunscreen?
Mineral sunscreen uses natural minerals like Zinc Oxide to create a protective barrier on the skin. Our mineral SPF for men provides broad-spectrum protection without the common thick white residue or oily or greasy feeling. These mineral formulations are perfect for those seeking clean, effective sun defense. We offer the following formulations:
Sprays:

What SPF Should I Use?
Selecting the right SPF (Sun Protection Factor) depends on several factors, including your skin type, the intensity of sun exposure, and the duration you'll be in the sun. SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98%. For everyday use, The American Academy for Dermatology recommends at least an SPF 30. For extended outdoor activities, especially during peak sun hours or at higher altitudes, SPF 50 or higher is recommended for extra protection. Our collection includes options ranging from SPF 30 to SPF 70, allowing you to choose based on your specific needs.
Are Sprays and Lotions Equally Effective?
Both spray and lotion SPF sunscreens offer effective protection when applied correctly. The choice between the two often comes down to personal preference and the situation at hand. Lotions are great for ensuring thorough, even coverage, especially on the face and other sensitive areas. Sprays offer convenience and ease of application, particularly on hard-to-reach areas like the back. It's important to apply a generous layer and spread it evenly across the skin. Our SPF sunscreens are water and sweat-resistant for 80 minutes. Remember to reapply to maintain effective protection.
Is the Face and Scalp Mist Different from the Other Spray Sunscreens?
Yes, the Face + Scalp Mist with SPF 35 is specifically formulated for the delicate skin of the face and scalp. It offers a lightweight, refreshing application with a low-pressure nozzle for better control over the amount of sunscreen you apply. Its formula provides skincare benefits such as hydration and antioxidant protection.
To compare, our body sprays, like the Hydrating Antioxidant SPF Spray, are formulated for broader coverage and include different ingredients suited for body skin, which is less sensitive than facial skin. Both types of spray SPF sunscreens offer broad-spectrum protection but are tailored to meet the specific needs of different skin areas.
Why is Sunscreen an Essential Part of a Daily Skincare Routine?
Sunscreen for men is crucial for protecting the skin from UV damage, reducing the risk of skin cancer, and helping reduce signs of aging. A daily SPF is the most important thing you can do to protect your skin and a daily moisturizer with SPF like our Everyday Anti-Aging Face Moisturizer with SPF 37 is the easiest way to incorporate it into your daily routine.
What Benefits Does Mineral SPF Offer Over Traditional SPF?
Mineral SPF provides a physical barrier on the skin's surface, reflecting UV rays. It offers immediate protection upon application, meaning you don't have to wait for it to absorb to protect you from UV rays.
