Unfortunately, most sunscreen ingredients only protect skin from UVA and UVB rays (a small section of the light spectrum), and do nothing for visible light. But there is an ingredient that may be able to save us from the perils of bad office lighting: iron oxide. It's a mineral that's already found in some tinted sunscreens like Skinceuticals Physical UV Fusion SPF 50, $34, and Avene High Protection Tinted Compact SPF 50, $34, and powdered versions like Colorescience Sunforgettable Mineral Sunscreen Brush SPF 30, $57, because it makes them less chalky. As a bonus, it blocks visible light and may even protect against melasma and other types of hyperpigmentation.
While there's still a lot to learn about visible light, you can expect a boom in iron oxide-infused sunscreens in the coming months and years.
