Mineral vs. Chemical Sunscreen: The Reef Damage, Aerosol Risks & SPF Myths Nobody's Talking About with Shannon Kenner of Waxhead Sun Defense

Mineral sunscreen vs. chemical sunscreen...what's the actual difference, and does it matter as much as the wellness world claims? We sat down with Shannon Kenner, co-founder of Waxhead Sun Defense, to find out.
