Sunscreen is essential for healthy skin. But what is better: mineral sunscreen or sunscreen with modern UV filters? Both protect against UVA and UVB rays, but they differ in their mode of action, skin feel, and application.
Mode of Action
Mineral sunscreen contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These filters sit on the skin and reflect UV rays. The protection takes effect immediately after application.
Modern UV filters, like those in Swiss Glow SPF50, absorb UV rays and convert them into heat. They take about 10–20 minutes to reach their full protective effect.
Skin Feel & Appearance
Mineral: rich, can leave a white film, and may tend to pill.
Modern filters: lightweight, absorbs quickly, no white cast, ideal under makeup. Swiss Glow uses the latest and cleanest UV filters on the market.
Skin Compatibility
Mineral sunscreens are particularly suitable for sensitive or irritated skin. Modern UV filters of the new generation are considered very well tolerated and are suitable for most skin types. Therefore, we can recommend our Swiss Glow SPF50 face cream for daily use and for many skin types.
Protection & Everyday Usability
Both variants offer broad-spectrum sun protection. However, modern filters allow for higher sun protection factors more easily and are more comfortable in heat, during sports, or in everyday life.
Additionally, the Swiss Glow day cream combines collagen and SPF boosters, vegan silk, moisture, and anti-aging ingredients to protect, strengthen, and visibly renew your skin – sustainably and effectively.
Conclusion
Whether mineral or with modern filters – what matters is that the sunscreen is applied regularly and sufficiently. The best sunscreen is the one you enjoy wearing. Swiss Glow SPF50 protects your skin, hydrates it, gives it radiance, and a silky feel.
