Market Overview

The market for mineral sunscreens in the United States is the area of the sunscreen industry that specializes in products made with mineral active ingredients such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

The increasing skincare industry, growing disposable incomes, and an increase in outdoor leisure activities are all anticipated to boost the market.
