Non-nano zinc oxide is a naturally occurring mineral known for its protective and soothing properties. The term "non-nano" refers to the particle size of the zinc oxide. Unlike "nano" particles, which are so small they can potentially penetrate the skin, non-nano particles are larger, remaining on the skin's surface to form a protective barrier. This makes it a safer and more environmentally friendly choice for sun protection.
One of the most notable benefits of non-nano zinc oxide is its ability to block a broad spectrum of UV rays, including both UVA and UVB, offering robust sun protection. As a physical sunscreen, it works by reflecting and scattering harmful rays rather than absorbing them, reducing the risk of skin irritation often associated with chemical sunscreens.
Non-nano zinc oxide is also known for its gentle properties, making it suitable for sensitive skin, including for children and those prone to allergies. Its anti-inflammatory benefits can help soothe irritation and redness, offering dual protection and care.
Additionally, non-nano zinc oxide is reef-safe, meaning it doesn’t harm marine life or coral reefs, making it an excellent choice for eco-conscious consumers. It's the ideal ingredient for anyone seeking safe, effective, and sustainable skincare.
You can find non-nano zinc oxide in our Daily Repair & Protect Moisturizer with Mineral SPF 50+.
