Collection: Zinc Oxide

Zinc oxide has long been recognized as a safe and effective ingredient in skin care, offering a range of benefits for various skin types and concerns. As an active ingredient in sunscreens and a soothing agent for sensitive skin, zinc oxide is a versatile addition to any skin care routine.

One of the primary benefits of zinc oxide is its ability to provide broad-spectrum sun protection. As a physical sunscreen, zinc oxide sits on the skin's surface and reflects both UVA and UVB rays, shielding the skin from the harmful effects of sun exposure. By incorporating a zinc oxide-based sunscreen into your daily routine, you can protect your skin from premature aging, sunburn, and skin cancer. Our skin care expert Dr. Arash Akhavan believes that sun protection with zinc oxide as an ingredient provides the best possible protection against harmful ultraviolet A rays. 

Zinc oxide is known for its gentle, non-irritating nature, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. Unlike some chemical sunscreens, which can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, zinc oxide is a mineral-based ingredient that is less likely to cause adverse effects. This makes it an ideal choice for those with sensitive or reactive skin, as well as for children and babies.
