Understanding Zinc
Q. What is zinc and how does it work?
A. Zinc oxide is a solid particle that is naturally sourced. Zinc oxide sits on top of the skin providing a protective layer and is best known for providing broad spectrum protection from ultraviolet (UVA/UVB) rays.
Q. What are the benefits of zinc oxide for sun protection?
A. Sensitive skin experts recommend mineral sunscreens that contain a physical UVA/UVB broad spectrum blocker, like zinc oxide, with a protection of SPF 30 or higher. Zinc is less likely to be absorbed by the skin and generally does not cause reactions.
