100% mineral SPF for sensitive skin and little ones, from Heliocare.
Mineral filters sit on the surface of the skin rather than sinking in, which is why they tend to suit reactive skin and younger faces. Both formulas here pair two mineral filters, and our glossary entries on titanium dioxide and zinc oxide set out what each filter does and how sheer or visible it looks once applied, and the Academy piece on why Heliocare is different compares finish, wearability and where each formula fits in a daily routine.

Which Heliocare mineral sunscreen is right for me?
For sensitive or reactive adult skin, choose Heliocare Mineral Tolerance Fluid SPF50 — a 100% physical-filter fluid with a soft, poreless finish and no chemical UV filters. For children, Heliocare 360 Pediatrics Mineral SPF50+ takes the same gentle mineral approach in a formula built for delicate young skin.

Heliocare Mineral Tolerance Fluid SPF50 is the range's pick for compromised, post-procedure skin, because mineral filters sit on the surface and reflect light rather than absorbing in. Wait until any open areas have closed, then apply gently — confirm timing with the clinician who carried out your treatment.
Does a mineral sunscreen leave a white cast?
Does a mineral sunscreen leave a white cast?
Heliocare Mineral Tolerance Fluid is tinted with a light beige that offsets mineral chalkiness, blending to a natural, slightly matte finish. Warm it between fingertips first and apply in thin layers so it melds into the skin rather than sitting on top.
Is the mineral formula suitable for young children?
Is the mineral formula suitable for young children?
Heliocare 360 Pediatrics Mineral SPF50+ is formulated for children's delicate skin using mineral filters in a fragrance-conscious base. Apply generously fifteen minutes before going outdoors and reapply after swimming or towel-drying; keep babies under six months in the shade rather than relying on sunscreen.
Why choose mineral over chemical SPF, and are these genuine?
Why choose mineral over chemical SPF, and are these genuine?
Mineral filters like titanium dioxide reflect UV straight off the skin's surface, which suits reactive, redness-prone and very young skin that flares with chemical filters. Both formulas are stocked as an authorised UK Heliocare retailer, with free tracked delivery on orders over £50.
