## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the Essential Defense sunscreens have both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide?**
A: The two Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum Sunscreens contain both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Everyday Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 47 Sunscreen contains only zinc oxide.

**Q: Do the Essential Defense sunscreens provide infrared (IR) protection?**
A: No, only TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR delivers the breakthrough benefit of IR protection.

**Q: What is the difference between an all-physical sunscreen and a physical-chemical sunscreen?**
A: An all-physical sunscreen utilizes sunscreen actives, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, that work by sitting on top of the skin to deflect or block damaging UV rays away from the skin.

**Q: When should you use an all-physical sunscreen vs when should you use a physical-chemical sunscreen?**
A: An all-physical sunscreen is usually recommended by physicians for sensitive skin or following a procedure as directed by their physician. Physical sunscreens work better for people with heat-activated skin (i.e., rosacea and redness).

**Q: What are the differences between TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR and Essential Defense?**
A: TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR has been heavily researched and studied in clinical settings. More than a sunscreen, TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR goes beyond sun protection and actually helps support the skin’s ability to restore itself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No breakouts, no white cast!
*by A***A on May 28, 2022*

After a lot (lot, lot, lottttt) of time spent searching through reviews and articles, I finally took the plunge and ordered a bottle of this sunscreen. I've recently developed hyperpigmentation (due to heat/light/allergy inflammation+hormonal changes) and need to wear daily, indoor light protection. However, I have never, ever had any luck with sunscreens, physical formulations least of all; they irritate my skin, cause rashy breakouts, and usually itch like crazy. But not this one! I'm so pleased with it that I'm actually writing this review. I've been using it AM daily for almost 2 weeks (face, neck, upper chest, shoulders) and have not had a single rash or bout of itchiness; no redness irritation either! It goes on like a lightweight lotion, rubs in easily without pulling, and does not leave a white ghost mask (note, I do have a fair complexion, but other sunscreens in my past have left me looking positively bloodless and encased while this one leaves my skin looking/feeling like human skin). Only two tiny cons, it would be nice if the SPF was higher for wearing outdoors, and, I am a wee bit skeptical of cost point vs. amount of product. However, it has performed exactly as advertised, and another reviewer mentioned her bottle lasted 4 months, so, I think the cost may turn out to be well worth it in the long run. Overall, very happy so far!
