Zinc Oxide
Zinc oxide is a physical sunscreen ingredient providing broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. It forms a barrier on the skin’s surface that reflects and scatters UV radiation, preventing sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. Zinc oxide is considered non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin types, including those prone to acne, rosacea, or allergic reactions. Zinc oxide has anti-inflammatory properties that support an irritated skin barrier. Zinc oxide promotes wound healing and skin regeneration by providing a protective barrier over the affected area. It helps reduce inflammation, prevent infection, and minimize scarring. Zinc oxide has mild astringent properties that regulate sebum production. It can help mattify the skin and reduce shine without clogging pores. Zinc oxide has antimicrobial properties that help kill acne-causing bacteria. It can be found in skincare products formulated for acne-prone skin to help prevent and treat blemishes.
