Chemical Sunscreen is a type of sun protection that uses organic (carbon-based) compounds such as oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate, and homosalate to absorb UV radiation. Unlike physical sunscreens that sit on the skin’s surface and reflect rays, chemical filters penetrate the skin and convert UV light into heat, which is then released from the body. These formulations are often lightweight, fast-absorbing, and leave no white cast, making them ideal for everyday wear under makeup and suitable for all skin tones. They provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays and are frequently water-resistant, making them a popular choice for outdoor activities. However, some formulations may cause irritation or allergies in sensitive skin types. By offering effortless application and high efficacy, chemical sunscreens are a cornerstone of modern sun care, emphasizing prevention of sun damage, premature aging, and skin cancer.
