Chemical sunscreens are what you would think of as a traditional sunscreen. Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light energy and releasing it as heat. They tend to absorb into the skin easier than mineral sunscreens.

Mineral sunscreens (sometimes called physical sunscreens), however, create a barrier to reflect and scatter UV light. Mineral sunscreens provide a matte, powder-like finish. All Australian Gold’s mineral sunscreens are Hypoallergenic, Dermatologist and Pediatrician tested and safe for children, teens and adults.
