Frequently Asked Questions
All your Mineral SPPF queries answered.
What's the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen?
Mineral sunscreens like Stil's zinc oxide formula sit on top of the skin and physically reflect UV rays away, working the moment you apply it. Chemical sunscreens absorb into the skin and convert UV rays into heat, and need around 15–20 minutes to become effective. Mineral filters are generally gentler on sensitive, eczema-prone, and acne-prone skin.
Is mineral sunscreen safe for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?
Mineral sunscreen is generally one of the gentlest options for sensitive or eczema-prone skin, since zinc oxide sits on top of the skin rather than absorbing into it, which lowers the risk of irritation. Stil's Daily Face SPF 30 is formulated with natural zinc oxide specifically for sensitive, reactive and eczema-prone skin.
Is mineral sunscreen safe for acne-prone or breakout-prone skin?
Yes, mineral filters like zinc oxide are non-comedogenic, meaning they don't clog pores the way some chemical UV filters can, which is why dermatologists often recommend them for acne-prone skin.
Stil's Daily Face SPF 30 is formulated to sit comfortably on blemish-prone skin without triggering breakouts.
What's the best mineral sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast?
Stil's Daily Face SPF 30 uses a natural zinc oxide formulation designed to blend in without the chalky finish, giving broad-spectrum mineral protection with no white residue.
Is Stil Suncare a British sunscreen brand?
Yes, Stil is is UK-based mineral suncare brand. All our products are manufactured and shipped from the UK.
