Unlike chemical sunscreens which absorb the sun’s rays, fully physical sunscreens work on the surface of the skin to deflect UV rays. In addition, physical sunscreens are a good option for individuals with sensitive skin because they are associated with less irritation than chemical sunscreens. However, most physical sunscreens are messy and are not easily absorbed. CeraVe fully physical sunscreen lotions contain InVisibleZincTM technology which helps deliver an elegant, lightweight, dry, clear finish on the skin. See our full sunscreen line here.
