What's a hybrid sunscreen?

I was reading reviews about the sunscreens I'm thinking of buying when someone used the term "hybrid sunscreen" I was confused on what it meant so can someone tell me what that means?

a hybrid sunscreen is a sunscreen that has both chemical and mineral UV filters!

i guess it depends on your skin type! some people can only tolerate mineral sunscreens since chemical UV filters can be irritating for some with sensitive skin. benefit of a hybrid sunscreen is usually just giving broad spectrum protection and trying to minimize/maximize certain aspects of the UV filters.

What i read in wishtrend articel about hybrid sunscreen is "Some sunscreen also incorporates both inorganic and organic filters into their sunscreen, called hybrid. Most of the time this is done to minimize the drawback while maximizing each of their potentials." So basically it's a combination between chemical and physical sunscreen 🌞

It's basically "best of both worlds" in one sunscreen. 😅
