5:53 a really good explanation of the organic vs inorganic screens. There is a hole in the explanation though. UV is ~280-400nm. Looks like about 55% is reflected by Ti in the 350-400nm. Is there any absorbed? Does that mean that at those wavelengths 45% is getting through to my skin? What is the ultimate exposure comparison for a good organic vs inorganic. That’s the question that needs to be answered. In other words, with a recommended coat of both, what type of exposure across the UV spectrum am I getting?

​@@jacobovs only "broad spectrum" give the full protection in both UVA-I UVA-II and UVB. It's also a major myth believe by most is that physical sunscreens or inorganic suncreens reflect UV. Most are UV absorb by zinc and titanium only ±10% is actually reflected not much unlike organic chemical sunscreens. That from an actual cosmetic chemist PhD Michelle who made skincare and sunscreens. And that's the general consensus. Don't just believe one or few papers or even a person, google articles. To be scientific we should be looking to ALL *peer reviewed* papers and studies. Other Scientists constantly analyse each others' papers and studies. Which they then compile in a paper called systematic study. Look for "systematic study" in google scholar search engine. Also in general when youre searching for anything, use neutral non baised terms. I don't recommend using one side, baised term, and anecdotals like "negative health risk of..." "... is a cure for eczema" "What products dermatologist uses..." "What save my skin from eczema" "Health benefits of..." or "...does it cause cancer?" A.k.a every single clickbait title on the videos and articles. These kind of statements more often very one side than not. Which just give you what you already believed or opposite of what you believed anecdotally. Which not at all productive. We want a more complete picture *_both_* the good, the bad and everything in between as much as possible. So instead use more nuanced and open ended sentences like: "how does... ...effect eczema" "how does... ...affect the human skin applied topically" "how does oncology patients' skin responds on topicals" or "skin absortion levels of... ...in actual humans and its effects" As you can see there is a lot of nuances if you want to be more scientific. Also keep mind that theoretical effects whether positive or negative doesn't often translate to actual reality. For example, an in vitro "cells in dish" or animal studies of any kinds; is time and time again shown to not very useful in a lot of practical situations; apart from niche but Important studies. We actually have to read the entire study to get closer that the paper is actually saying. Or people should at least read the conclusions and discussion part of the paper always. So you can not see why is so confusing. It's not that easy to be scientific specifically if the believe you have a long time or emotionally attached to is being challenged. The brain kind of doesn't that as much a possible. It's basic human psychology. That's one of the reasons most people don't know the scientific method or/and critical thinking. Instead the human mind tend default to confirmation bias and anecdotals story that supports our own. So in reality, physical is better a sun protection because they absorb uv not reflect it just like chemical sunscreen. That's the one of the "holes" you mentioned. Sunscreens of around spf 15 still protect you most but ±7% of UVB, spf 30 only lets through ±2% of UVB and spf 50 lets go ±1%. If you have broad spectrum or in other countries high level of UVA-I and UVA-II rating. You get a lot of protection with both UVA and UVB.

The graph does a great job of showing this: the "mineral" (inorganic) sunscreens may reflect a little more in the UV spectrum than "chemical" (organic) sunscreens, but part of why they appear white and it's so hard to get a formulation to not leave a cast, is that the "mineral" sunscreens _are_ really good at reflecting light in the _visible spectrum_ !

Thanks for the explanation of how organic and inorganic sunscreens work. You also mentioned the importance of choosing the one your skin accepts. After several years of using organic/carbon based sunscreens with good results, my skin developed a bad reaction - redness, small blisters, discomfort. On the advice of my dermatologist, I switched to inorganic sunscreens ten years ago and my skin has been free of irritation ever since. Coincidentally, I know other Black and brown-skinned people who've had similar experiences. That makes me wonder about studies that explore how pigment/melanin impacts skin's acceptance of different types of sunscreen. Any reference info would be appreciated.

It's the opposite for me. I have rosacea and always used inorganic sunscreens bc they were said to be better for sensitive skin. They irritated my skin so much and dried it out. I started trying organic sunscreens from Japan and Korea (specifically the beauty of Joseon relief sun, which is tested in 2 separate labs in Spain and Japan and is spf 50 PA ++++) and never looked back. Keeping an open mind and trying different things is so important. 😊 I'm so glad you found a sunscreen that works for you.

I go back and forth between chemical and mineral sunscreen. Lately the mineral sunscreen I've been using is Eucerin baby spf50, it comes in a white and pink tube. It leaves a cast, but I really like how gentle it is on my skin. It wears well under makeup and because I do wear Foundation, I'm not too concerned with the white cast part of it.

Yep. I've found most inorganic sunscreens and combination sunscreens have solvents that don't play nice with the different ones used to formulate makeup. That being said, the Olay spf 30 combination (little pump bottle with a yellow ring) sunscreen that I know tons of people loved for makeup always made my eyes sting and broke up my preferred foundation. Unless I thinned a stick foundation in more sunscreen (obviously not as an actual layer of spf) I couldn't get that one to work. Otherwise, by itself it is great, although it's obscenely expensive. For the price I love the Eucerin spf 50 mineral and in the past used the Coppertone mineral kids spf 50 in the green bottle as well. Both tend to crease in the eyes so I usually use a setting powder very thinly applied over the top to hold everything in place.

Yes, definitely heard the myths and have actually seen them posted on reputable sources. Other statements I recall encountering are: mineral sunscreens "last longer" than chemical sunscreens mineral sunscreens are "safer" than chemical sunscreens Concentration/percentage of mineral ingredients matter to provide superior protection Mineral sunscreens are "better" for acne prone skin I still have to see a mineral sunscreen reach SPF 100. At most, I have seen SPF 60+ and those product are extremely opaque. I have also yet to see published UVA/PPD that passes 30. In my opinion, the best sunscreens are that combine both classes, especially Zinc and stable organic filters. A plus if the product has additional visible light protection

Might I say, that another adult speaking badly about you is surely not a good person and does not have the room to speak about anyone else while they themselves display such vulgar and childish behavior. They should be so ashamed of themselves. I’m so sorry about how it hurt you, that’s completely understandable. I would be really upset too. But they, just like anyone else, has experienced something (as you put it) ‘embarrassing’ such as a skin condition, somewhere on their body. And if they haven’t experienced something like that yet, they’re in for a rude awakening when something happens to their skin that they hope no one else will see or talk about. Please know, you’re not alone. We’re human beings. Stuff happens to our skin. It’s doesn’t feel great when our skin isn’t how we would prefer it to be…but we have a community here that is supportive and ready to help and not judgemental at all. All sorts of skin conditions are discussed here. And I hope that you can feel safe enough to discuss your issues here and receive any help and information you may need. And of course Dr Dray is so awesome for providing all this information. She’s one of the best sources here that you can really trust. I’d say above all else, a board certified dermatologist is worth visiting if you ever want to resolve a persistent issue as fast as possible. I wish all the best for you 💖🌸

I’ve tried most if not ALL chemical sunscreens in the last 10 years and they all sting , burn or irritate my skin and make my rosacea worse. I decided to try a mineral sunscreen after coming across some KZbinr that said it helped her skin , I had no idea what a mineral sunscreen was but HOLY this was such a piece of paradise for my face. I thought it was some placebo affect in my head but I’m 9 months in wearing it and it has absolutely done wonders for my skin and my rosacea ! I couldn’t believe how calm and pretty my skin looked! It doesn’t hurt to try!

On my body I don't care if the mineral sunscreen is white or greasy, but I can get BoJ sunscreen near my eyes with no irritation. You do need to reapply chemical sunscreens later in your day and I've learned how to put it on OVER my makeup without much mess.

In my early and mid-20s, I used to use mineral sunscreen only. That was when every KZbinr claimed that chemical sunscreen would destroy your skin and environment. Besides the white cast, spending extended time rubbing zinc sunscreen evenly irritated my skin over time, and they always wear off quickly. I use a lot of chemical sunscreen now, especially for the summer, because they tend to have higher SPF.

Another myth regarding these chemical and physical sunscreens besides absorbing or reflecting is that some believe that physical sunscreens don't need 'waiting time' after applying whereas chemical ones do. Lab muffin channel has already proved and told us that both work immediately right from the bottle but they just need some time to form protection film on the skin for more stable longer protection.

As a melasma sufferer, I hear over and over again that mineral sunscreens are better for us. I understand to a degree why, as many 'chemical' aka organic sunscreens can be irritating, especially when using the older filters. But sometimes, I don't feel like wearing a tinted product even if it works. The newer filters are less irritating for many of us (some now have Blue light protection as well). Also, I'm not sure how much the iron oxides in a tinted mineral sunscreen are protecting me from Blue Light. One of the most prevalent things I read and hear about why we should not use organic sunscreens is because they 'supposedly' increase the amount of heat in the skin which can worsen your melasma. I have never actually seen or read any evidence of this. You believe it because it's already such a difficult condition to live with and treat that you don't question it. If you're listening or reading what Dermatogists say online, they know more than you, so they must be right? It makes it very difficult to know the truth. There are NOT ENOUGH DERMATOLOGISTS ONLINE who are dispelling this myth or breaking it down the way you just did. Your video providing clarity on this topic is massively important and I hope many people see it and share it. It is one of the most important issues that needs to be addressed. Thank you, thank you, thank you

I really appreciate your focus on how mineral sunscreens work and the inaccuracy of how the words "chemical" and "mineral" are broadly used. Thank you for this. As a consumer, I am concerned about which sunscreens are safest overall, both from the point of view of their UV protection but also the effects of long term use -- i.e., covering a significant portion of your skin with these substances. How much is absorbed by "the largest organ in your body" and what are its effects on overall health?

I really like chemical sunscreens as they don't leave a white cast on my tan skin. But I find chemical sunscreens causing irritation: not right away, but after a week or two. Physical sunscreens do not cause such a problem, but they're visible. The only way out I can find is to find tinted physical sunscreens. Unfortunately, it limits the choice when it comes to actual purchasing there are not many of such kind and where I live it's not that easy to buy, even online (the international shipping is limited as my country is a very small market and doesn't "exist" for delivery)

I’ve tried so many other higher SPF (currently using Arazlo , and Cyspera) sunscreens and they all have left a horrible white cast. I suffer from Melasma , hyper pigmentation, breakouts and sensitive skin , so it is super important for me to protect my skin from the UV rays. This one here! Goes on smoothly, and feels like a light moisturizer, and does not feel oily in the humid conditions of South Texas. A little pricey, but worth it’s weight in gold!
