The Benefits of Mineral Facial Sunscreen

Mary Kay's Mineral Facial Sunscreen is considered a physical sunscreen. Dr. Emily Newsom, a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained dermatologic surgeon with UCLA Health says this about physical sunscreens.

"Mineral sunscreen could be referred to as physical sunscreen because it’s a physical blocker. They’re really, really, good because they reflect the UV rather than the chemical sunscreen that absorbs the UV."

Dr. Newsom also explains, in this USA Today article, that mineral sunscreens are safe for marine life, whereas chemical sunscreens can be harmful.

According to Kokua Sun Care, mineral sunscreens provide immediate protection because they don't have to absorb into your skin to be effective. They are effective the minute you apply the sunscreen. Mineral sunscreens are more water resistant so they wash off and sweat off more slowly than chemical sunscreens.
