What's the difference between mineral sunscreen and regular sunscreen?

With Avene sun care products we have a mineral collection for very sensitive skin and a classic collection for normal skin.

UVA rays cause aging and allergies in the skin, whereas UVB rays cause the burning/ bronzing, and skin cancer.

In our sterile cosmetics we use no preservatives as the packing keeps the formulation sterile. These are amazing products for very sensitive skins.
