The 18 Best Zinc Oxide Sunscreens of 2023 - Byrdie

The alternative is a chemical sunscreen, which absorbs into the skin, converts the sun’s rays to heat, and releases them from the body.The last consideration is that sunscreens can expire. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires sunscreens that have ingredients that expire to have an expiration date. If yours doesn’t have one, it likely contains ingredients that don’t expire. If your skin is easily irritated, any kind of mineral sunscreen is going to be your best bet, but this one, in particular, takes the cake. It's made with 100 percent zinc oxide and won't clog your pores. It’s so gentle that it’s even earned the National Eczema Association’s seal of approval. And whether your skin is sensitive or not, the completely dry, non-greasy finish is a universal crowd-pleaser. During testing we found that it absorbed nicely and left a healthy glow across the skin. It’s also water-resistant so it’s ideal for wearing in the city on humid days or on vacation. Dr. Akhavan is a fan of this 100 percent mineral-based sunscreen—which uses a combination of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—and recommends it to all of his patients, especially those with acne-prone skin. “It feels super lightweight and has anti-inflammatory niacinamide added into the formula, as well,” he says.
