Zinc Oxide
How does Zinc Oxide benefit your skin? Zinc Oxide provides powerful broad-spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays, acting as a physical barrier on the skin’s surface. It’s a mineral sunscreen ingredient that defends against sun damage while soothing sensitive or irritated skin.

About
Zinc Oxide is a naturally occurring mineral that sits on top of the skin and physically blocks harmful UV rays. It is non-comedogenic and gentle, making it suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive skin. It also calms irritation and reduces inflammation.
Science
Zinc Oxide reflects and scatters UV radiation, offering SPF protection levels from 15 to 50. Unlike chemical sunscreens, it does not absorb into the bloodstream, making it a safer choice. Its anti-inflammatory properties help treat redness, burns, and irritation.
History
Historically used in calamine lotion and diaper creams, Zinc Oxide has a long-standing reputation for skin healing and sun protection. It’s been trusted for centuries and continues to be a gold standard in mineral-based skincare.
Provenance
Our Zinc Oxide is responsibly mined and ultra-purified to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness. It is used in micronized, non-nano form to create a smooth, non-chalky finish while maintaining strong SPF performance.
