Pregnancy is a beautiful phase but as the hormones rise and fall hits in it also brings in various skin concerns like pigmentations, dark spots (melasma), fine lines, and more. To deal with them all mineral sunscreens come to the rescue that you must consider slathering onto your skin during the entire pregnancy phase.

Tarini Peshawaria, a popular digital content creator and lifestyle influencer who is currently enjoying her pregnancy phase has come up with some amazing mineral sunscreens in India that you too can opt to consider. If you are a mom-to-be or planning for the same then you must take a look at the mineral sunscreen recommendations and revamp your skincare essentials right away. However, do consult your doctor before drenching your skin with any of these enriching formulas.

What Tarini Has to Say About Mineral Sunscreens

In her latest Instagram post, Tarini shared that- "Mineral sunscreens reflect UV rays and do not absorb into the bloodstream as chemical or hybrid sunscreens do, hence are considered safer during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The UV filters in mineral sunscreens are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

Mineral or physical SPFs are usually thicker in texture, while chemical sunscreens are lighter and hence usually more popular.

There isn't enough data to prove that chemical sunscreens are harmful during pregnancy however, there isn't any to prove that they aren't either. A lot of dermatitides feel comfortable recommending chemical sunscreens that are free of Oxybenzone and Avobenzone as pregnancy was safe too. Research on this topic is still limited.

Certain other sunscreens with chemical filters like Uvinal T Plus and Uvinal 50 may also be considered pregnancy safe such as @putsimplyofficial @beminimalist__ SPF 60 and @beautyofjoseon_official. More research is still needed, however, a large amount of health experts believe they might be safe.

If you'd like to use a chemical sunscreen over a mineral sunscreen during pregnancy - do check with your doctor before usage."

The way she explains all the if's and but's of the mineral sunscreen is commendable and let's dive into the recommendations Tarini has come up with.

Tarini Recommends Worthy Mineral Sunscreens in India

The Derma Co 1% Hyaluronic Tinted Sunscreen Gel is a tinted sunscreen that comes with a peach tint and silicone finish that seamlessly blends into the skin without leaving any white cast. Tarini says this mineral sunscreen gives a primer-like finish and is suitable for dry skin.

The second on the list is Deconstruct Mineral Sunscreen a tinted mineral sunscreen with SPF 55+ and PA++++ that offers a matte finish and is also water resistant. This deconstructed mineral sunscreen is infused with photo-stable ingredients that not just protect the skin from both UVA and UVB rays but also provide slight coverage without any white cast.

If tinted mineral sunscreens are not your first preference, then this Qurez Mattifying SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen can be a great choice. This Qurez mineral sunscreen leaves a matte finish making it suitable for oily to sensitive skin types.

Another non-tinted mineral sunscreen Tarini recommends is Earth Rhythm Phyto Shield Spf 50 Matte Mineral Sunscreen which blends into the skin leaving it moistured making it ideal for dry skin. However, Earth Rhythm mineral sunscreen takes a while to blend and the white cast to disappear.
