SPF 25 Mineral Sunscreen - UpCircle

A multi award-winning mineral SPF 25 from UpCircle - fast absorbing, suitable for all skin tones, and formulated with naturally derived non-nano zinc oxide and upcycled raspberry seed oil. 60ml, plastic-free, vegan and made in the UK.

Mineral sunscreens work differently to chemical SPFs - zinc oxide sits on the skin and physically blocks UV rays rather than absorbing them. This one is lightweight and absorbs within 15 minutes, leaving a natural finish with a subtle glow rather than a white cast.

The raspberry seed oil is a powerful antioxidant that defends against free radical damage. Aloe vera calms inflammation, and lavender oil makes it particularly well suited to acne-prone skin. The upcycled ingredients are also high in vitamins A and E, which support collagen production.

FAQs

What's the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen?
Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and convert them to heat. Mineral sunscreens like this one use zinc oxide to physically block UV rays from reaching the skin. Mineral SPFs are generally considered gentler for sensitive and reactive skin types, and don't require the 20-30 minute pre-sun application window that some chemical SPFs do.

Will it leave a white cast?
No - it's formulated to be lightweight and fast absorbing, leaving a natural finish suitable for all skin tones. The non-nano zinc oxide formula is designed specifically to avoid the chalky look associated with older mineral sunscreens.

Can I use this every day, not just on sunny days?
Yes - UV exposure causes skin ageing year-round, not just on bright summer days. Daily SPF is one of the most effective things you can do for long-term skin health.
