Normal Sunscreen vs. Tinted Sunscreen ☀️🕶

Whether you're staying in or going out, daily sun protection is essential. Applying sunscreen is the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself against skin cancer and keep your skin looking youthful.

Everyone should generally look for sunscreens with broad-spectrum coverage (which protects against UVB rays that cause burning and UVA rays that cause lasting damage) and an SPF of 30 or higher. But when choosing a sunscreen, you also want to consider a tinted or non-tinted sunscreen.

So what's the difference between tinted and non-tinted sunscreen? Which is better? Below, we will make a comparison to help you choose.

The difference between tinted and non-tinted sunscreen

Tinted sunscreens contain mineral filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and it also contains added pigments which primary functions are first, combat that chalky appearance and second, the colored pigments reflect away visible light in ways that regular sunscreens can't.

Broad-spectrum, non-tinted sunscreens contain filters that block UVA and UVB, but these preparations are not designed to block visible light. To block visible light, a sunscreen must be visible on skin. The problem? The particles in broad-spectrum, non-tinted sunscreens are "nanosized" (made smaller) to help reduce the white appearance of sunscreen. Thus, non-tinted sunscreens are formulated to be invisible on skin, and therefore cannot block visible light.
