Do the Essential Defense sunscreens have both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide?

The two Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum Sunscreens contain both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Everyday Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 47 Sunscreen contains only zinc oxide.

Do the Essential Defense sunscreens provide infrared (IR) protection?

No, only TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR delivers the breakthrough benefit of IR protection.

What is the difference between an all-physical sunscreen and a physical-chemical sunscreen?

An all-physical sunscreen utilizes sunscreen actives, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, that work by sitting on top of the skin to deflect or block damaging UV rays away from the skin.

When should you use an all-physical sunscreen vs when should you use a physical-chemical sunscreen?

An all-physical sunscreen is usually recommended by physicians for sensitive skin or following a procedure as directed by their physician. Physical sunscreens work better for people with heat-activated skin (i.e., rosacea and redness).

What are the differences between TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR and Essential Defense?

TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR has been heavily researched and studied in clinical settings. More than a sunscreen, TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR goes beyond sun protection and actually helps support the skin’s ability to restore itself.
