Quick Overview
Non-nano zinc oxide is a mineral sunscreen agent providing broad-spectrum UV protection by physically scattering and reflecting UVA and UVB rays, while supporting skin barrier health.
Our non-nano zinc oxide is sourced from a reputable, certified mineral supplier that follows responsible mining practices. The mineral is purified to cosmetic grade and milled to a particle size larger than 100 nm—large enough to sit on the skin’s surface rather than penetrate, yet small enough to provide an invisible finish.
Provides reliable broad-spectrum UV protection without chemical absorbers
Non-nano formulation ensures safety and minimizes systemic absorption
Stable under heat and light—no need for synthetic stabilizers
Gentle and non-irritating, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin
Physical UV Barrier
Zinc oxide reflects and scatters both UVA and UVB wavelengths, delivering immediate protection upon application.
Skin-Soothing & Anti-Inflammatory
Exhibits mild anti-inflammatory properties that calm redness and irritation, supporting post-sun comfort.
Barrier Support
Forms a breathable shield that helps prevent transepidermal water loss and defends against environmental stressors.
Non-Comedogenic & Hypoallergenic
Does not clog pores and is well tolerated by most skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive skin.
Zinc oxide’s use in topical skin preparations dates back to ancient civilizations, where ground mineral pastes were applied to protect and heal damaged or inflamed skin. In modern times, zinc oxide has been a cornerstone of diaper rash creams, calamine lotions, and safe sun care.
