But it is still a chemical sunscreen. Because of the Mexoryl, it is very photostable. But it is still a chemical sunscreen.

Sizes of nanoparticles is widely accepted as 100nm or less. So a particle under 100nm can be both micronized and nanosized but a particle over 100nm would be micronized but not nanosized.

I'm still not clear: an european company producing mineral makeup says that her items are micronized but they do not use nanoparticles. this seems a contradiction..or not? thank you for the answer.

If I remember correctly, Maybelline's are non-micronized. But you need to verify that. Micronized means particles that are 2.5 microns or smaller, and can be inhaled within the lungs.
