Zinc Oxide

Zinc oxide is a naturally occurring mineral widely used in skincare for its protective and soothing properties. It acts as a physical barrier against UV rays and is a key ingredient in mineral sunscreens.

In dermatology, zinc oxide is used to create broad-spectrum sun protection products that shield the skin from UVA and UVB rays. It is also found in soothing creams and ointments for treating nappy rash, irritation, and minor wounds.

The benefits of zinc oxide include protecting the skin from sun damage, reducing redness, and calming irritation. Unlike chemical sunscreens, it sits on the surface of the skin rather than being absorbed, making it an excellent choice for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Its gentle, non-irritating nature ensures safe daily use.
