If you’ve ever stood in the sunscreen aisle squinting at ingredient lists, wondering what any of it actually means, you’re not alone. Sunscreen is one of the most important products in your daily routine, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. Let’s break it down.

At Indie Paradiso, we make mineral sunscreen, also known as physical sunscreen. That means our active ingredient is non-nano zinc oxide, which sits on the surface of your skin and reflects the sun’s rays. It starts working immediately, is reef-safe, and is ideal for sensitive skin.

Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, absorb UV rays and convert them into heat. They often contain synthetic filters like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which can cause irritation, allergic reactions, and have been linked to coral reef damage.

Here’s why mineral sunscreen wins for sensitive skin: - It’s less likely to cause redness, burning, or breakouts - It provides instant protection (no wait time) - It’s safer for the environment - It’s fragrance-free and non-comedogenic in our case

More than just a science lesson, this is about how you feel when you step outside. Whether you’re heading to the beach, running errands, or having coffee in the sun, your skin deserves sunscreen that protects and respects it. No more compromise. No more discomfort.

With Indie Paradiso, you’re covered in every way that matters.
