Chemical UV Filter
Chemical UV filters are synthetic compounds that absorb and dissipate harmful UV rays, providing sun protection by converting UV radiation into heat energy.
Mineral UV Filter
Mineral UV filters, also known as physical or inorganic filters, use naturally occurring minerals such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to create a protective barrier on the skin that reflects and scatters UV rays.
