Lipo-Hydroxy Acid (LHA): Also known as LHA, it's a derivative of salicylic acid, and has exfoliating and skin surface renewing properties.
Zinc Oxide: Also known as a physical or inorganic sunscreen filter and is often recommended for sensitive skin types. It forms a barrier on the skin's surface to reflect and scatter a wide spectrum of UV light, including UVA and UVB rays.
Titanium Dioxide: Also known as a physical or inorganic sunscreen filter and is often recommended for sensitive skin types. It forms a barrier on the skin's surface to help protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

TIP: 100% mineral filter sunscreens are formulated only using Titanium Dioxide and/or Zinc Oxide as the active ingredients. These mineral actives are opaque powders, so a 100% mineral sunscreen can leave an ashy, purple or white cast on some skin tones. To help the formula blend into the skin, dispense onto fingers and warm in a circular motion, apply onto skin in small sections. Rub well until the formula is no longer visible.
