Mineral sun protection: how zinc oxide works

Zinc oxide is a mineral sunscreen, also called a physical or inorganic filter. Its particles remain on the skin's surface and attenuate ultraviolet radiation by reflecting, scattering, and absorbing it. It blocks both UVB rays, which cause sunburn, and UVA rays.

The fact that it's non-nano means its particles are larger than 100 nanometers. According to the manufacturer, it's easily absorbed and doesn't leave a white cast on the skin.

The rest of the formula is an anhydrous base of shea butter, vegetable oils, and carnauba wax. Because it contains no water, it forms an emollient film that helps keep the filter evenly distributed and is more resistant to contact with water. That's why it also doesn't need preservatives.

The actual protection depends on the amount: apply a generous layer and reapply frequently, especially after bathing, sweating, or toweling off.

A topical product acts on the surface of the skin. It does not alter the internal structure and is not equivalent to a professional cosmetic procedure. However, consistent use can help protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation and leave it feeling soft and comfortable.

Ingredients and active ingredients of the formula

The plant-based ingredients are organically grown; the zinc oxide is of mineral origin.

• Butyrospermum Parkii Butter: Shea butter, the emollient base of the formula.
