EltaMD sunscreen is a physician supported sunscreen containing high percentages of transparent zinc oxide to protect your skin from both UVA and UVB radiation. Zinc oxide is a natural mineral compound that blocks the widest range of UVA and UVB rays and is a physical sunscreen ingredient. This leads to a very important question, why is a physical sunscreen better than a chemical sunscreen? Chemical sunscreen absorbs UV radiation in the skin, dissipating it as heat, sometimes making your skin feel hotter in the sun. Physical sunscreen reflects and scatters UV rays to filter out UV radiation so it essentially bounces off of the skin. Physical sunscreen ingredients are also more stable than chemical sunscreen ingredients.
