We can still remember being slathered in sunscreen as a kid! Those white sunscreens maybe weren't the most popular, but they are made with minerals! Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide form a physical barrier on the skin to block UV rays. They are also are water and sweat resistant, gentle on sensitive skin, and better for the environment. Summer isn’t over yet, and this is yet another way that Minerals Make It Happen! Read our blog post: https://lnkd.in/e8bpbu53
