Zinc Oxide

Zinc Oxide is a gold-standard, physical (inorganic) sunscreen widely used in skincare and cosmetic formulations for its unmatched broad-spectrum UV protection. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb UV rays, Zinc Oxide sits on the skin’s surface and reflects or scatters harmful UV radiation, protecting the skin from UVB as well as both UVA I and UVA II rays. This makes it one of the most reliable agents for preventing sunburn, photoaging, and long-term skin damage. Beyond sun protection, Zinc Oxide is gentle, non-irritating, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and delicate skin. Its mild astringent and soothing properties also help calm redness, minor irritations, and inflammation, making it ideal for daily face creams, mineral sunscreens, baby care products, and tinted lotions. In addition, it forms a lightweight, breathable barrier that blends well into formulations, allowing products to feel comfortable, non-greasy, and cosmetically elegant while delivering superior skin protection.
