Chemical sunscreens are formulas that rely on UV filters, other than zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, to shield the skin from solar radiation. All sunscreens protect the skin through sun filters, a category that includes both mineral and chemical options. While only two mineral filters are currently used in cosmetics, there is a far broader range of chemical filters, which varies according to regional regulations; Europe, for instance, allows more options than the United States. Long story short, mineral sunscreens depend on mineral filters, while chemical sunscreens provide protection through the action of chemical UV filters.
