United States Mineral Sunscreen Market to Grow with a CAGR of 8.01% through 2030

The United States mineral sunscreen market is expanding due to rising consumer preference for natural ingredients, growing awareness of skin health, and demand for eco-friendly, reef-safe formulations

According to TechSci Research report, “United States Mineral Sunscreen Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the United States Mineral Sunscreen market stood at USD 825.20 million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow USD 1,305.67 million by 2030 with a CAGR 8.01% during forecast period. The United States mineral sunscreen market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by increasing consumer awareness of skin health, environmental concerns, and the demand for clean beauty products. Mineral sunscreens, which primarily use zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as active ingredients, have gained popularity as a safer alternative to chemical sunscreens. Unlike chemical formulations that absorb UV radiation, mineral sunscreens work by creating a physical barrier on the skin, reflecting harmful rays. This fundamental difference has made them a preferred choice among dermatologists and health-conscious consumers seeking effective sun protection without the potential risks associated with certain chemical filters like oxybenzone and octinoxate.

Several factors have contributed to the expanding mineral sunscreen market in the U.S. A primary driver is the rising consumer demand for reef-safe and eco-friendly products. Growing awareness of the harmful effects of chemical sunscreens on marine life has led to regulatory actions, including bans on oxybenzone and octinoxate in places like Hawaii and Key West. This has encouraged brands to develop biodegradable and reef-safe alternatives, positioning mineral sunscreens as a sustainable choice.

Additionally, increasing awareness of skin health has driven consumers to seek sunscreens that provide broad-spectrum protection while minimizing irritation and allergic reactions. Dermatologists often recommend mineral sunscreens for individuals with sensitive skin, children, and those prone to conditions like rosacea or eczema, further boosting demand.

Another key driver is the clean beauty movement, which has propelled mineral sunscreens into the spotlight. Consumers are scrutinizing ingredient lists more than ever, opting for products free from synthetic chemicals, parabens, and artificial fragrances. Major beauty retailers like Sephora and Ulta Beauty have dedicated sections for "clean" and "natural" beauty, making mineral sunscreens more accessible to mainstream shoppers. Furthermore, social media and influencer marketing play a significant role in consumer education and purchasing decisions. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube feature dermatologists, skincare influencers, and beauty bloggers promoting the benefits of mineral sunscreens. The ability to reach younger audiences through viral content has significantly increased market penetration.

Additionally, consumer education remains a challenge, as many people are still unaware of the differences between chemical and mineral sunscreens. Some consumers may perceive mineral sunscreens as thick, difficult to apply, or less effective, despite their broad-spectrum protection benefits. Brands must invest in marketing and educational campaigns to address misconceptions and highlight the advantages of mineral formulations.
