About this ingredient

Zinc oxide is a mineral powder that functions as a broad-spectrum physical UV filter, reflecting and scattering both UVA and UVB radiation to protect skin from sun damage. It is non-irritating, photostable, and particularly well-suited for sensitive skin, including infants and those prone to irritation.
