If you have melasma, the best sunscreens are formulated with mineral sunscreen active ingredient zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and not chemical sunscreen ingredients avobenzone, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene, oxybenzone, and octinoxate.
Here’s why. Chemical sunscreens work by stopping the effects of the sun’s rays by converting the sun’s UV energy into heat energy. But remember, heat triggers melasma so this will only make it worse! Mineral sunscreens actually block the sun’s UV rays from penetrating your skin. Heat is not triggered by this process, and therefore, your skin is not exposed to additional heat, and it is protected from the sun.
