Future Mineral UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50

What is mineral sunscreen?

Mineral sunscreen, also known as physical sunscreen, uses active mineral ingredients like zinc oxide (Z-Cote^®) and titanium dioxide to create a protective barrier on the skin’s surface that deflects UVA and UVB rays. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb UV radiation, mineral formulas begin working immediately upon application and are often preferred for sensitive or post-procedure skin. Future Mineral UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 elevates this category with a next-generation formulation that offers lightweight SPF 50 protection tested on all skin tones—delivering visible anti-aging benefits with less white cast than traditionally associated with mineral sunscreens.
