Sunscreen for sensitive skin – what you should pay attention to

Sensitive skin needs special protection – especially when exposed to sunlight. Many conventional sunscreens contain ingredients that can irritate sensitive skin. The good news: There are now a variety of products that take this into account – including mineral sunscreens, natural SPF 50 sunscreen, and vegan sun care products that do not contain harmful additives.

Why sensitive skin needs special sun protection

Sensitive skin reacts more quickly to external stimuli such as UV radiation, heat, or certain ingredients. It can be prone to redness, tightness, or rashes. A reliable, natural sunscreen is therefore essential—not just in summer, but all year round.

What makes a good sunscreen for sensitive skin

Well suited:

Mineral sunscreen (e.g. zinc oxide or titanium dioxide), also known as mineral sunscreen, works by reflecting UV radiation and is particularly skin-friendly.
Natural cosmetic sunscreen: products with tested, low-irritation ingredients.
Sunscreen without harmful substances: Free from microplastics, perfume, alcohol and chemical filters.
Vegan sunscreen: No animal ingredients, environmentally friendly and gentle on the skin.
Facial sunscreen: Lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas that won't clog pores and are comfortable to wear.
Reef safe sunscreen: Protects not only you but also the oceans.

Less suitable:

Chemical UV filters such as oxybenzone or octocrylene, which can cause irritation on sensitive skin.
Fragrances, essential oils or alcohol that further irritate or dry out the skin.
Preservatives and silicones that can unbalance the skin's appearance.

The best sunscreen for sensitive skin

If you have sensitive skin, it's worth using a natural sunscreen with SPF 50, which is specifically formulated for sensitive skin. Our recommendation:

100% mineral sunscreen
Free from fragrances, alcohol and irritating additives
Certified as natural cosmetic sunscreen
Suitable for face and body
Vegan and reef safe

Whether you're looking for the best mineral sunscreen, a reliable sunblock, or simply a natural sunscreen with SPF 50, it's important that the product suits your skin and doesn't cause irritation.
