Chemical sunscreens, often referred to as “organic” sunscreens in the beauty industry, are formulated with synthetic ingredients that absorb UV rays and convert them into heat, which is then released from the skin. These sunscreens are effective at blocking both UVA and UVB rays, making them a popular choice for those seeking broad-spectrum sun protection. Chemical sunscreens are typically lightweight and easy to apply, leaving a less visible finish on the skin compared to mineral sunscreens. However, some individuals may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions to certain chemical sunscreen ingredients.
