Sunscreen & SPF

A note on this category

There are only two mineral UV filters: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. That means a titanium dioxide–free mineral sunscreen is simply one that uses zinc oxide on its own — and that's what this page focuses on. We've deliberately left chemical (non-mineral) sunscreens off it. They don't contain titanium dioxide either, but they're a different kind of product, and this directory is for people who want to keep things mineral and simple.

The upside: titanium dioxide is easy to check here. When it's used, it has to be declared in the “Active Ingredients” panel — so you're looking for a single line that says zinc oxide, with no titanium dioxide listed beside it.

This page lists products reviewed and found to be titanium dioxide–free at the time of inclusion, based on publicly available ingredient information.

Plenty of mineral sunscreens combine zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, so “mineral” on its own doesn't mean titanium dioxide–free — the Active Ingredients panel is what settles it. It's also worth watching the format: with some brands the lotion is zinc-only while the spray isn't.

Sunscreen is a regulated product, and this directory only flags whether titanium dioxide is present — it doesn't assess how well a product works or whether it's right for you. For that, check the current label and speak with a pharmacist or doctor.

No ranking. No commentary. No safety or protection claims. Just a clear filter applied consistently.
