Which sunscreen products do not contain chemical sun protection factors?

Micropigment sun protection products contain no chemical sun protection filters. Protection against UVA and UVB radiation is achieved through the reflection of the light on the finest mineral particles (titanium oxide or zinc oxide). The fine particle sizes leave a smooth protective film on the skin, which can be guaranteed in products with a high sun protection factor (>25) only by means of a high portion of mineral pigments in the product. That’s why you might get the so-called “white effect” on your skin that shows even distribution and a high level of protection. Showering with a regular shower gel easily removes this film.
