What is it?

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

How does it work?

In dermatology, zinc oxide is used in broad-spectrum sun protection products to shield the skin from both UVA and UVB rays. It is also present in creams and ointments that treat 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 remains on the skin’s surface rather than being absorbed, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Its gentle, non-irritating nature makes it safe for daily use.
