Benefits :
1. Broad-Spectrum Sun Protection
Shields against UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays.
One of the few single ingredients that can provide true full coverage on its own.
Works immediately upon application (no 20–30 min wait).
2. Gentle & Safe for All Skin Types
Non-irritating and non-allergenic.
Safe for sensitive skin, children, and even babies.
Recommended for people with eczema, rosacea, or easily reactive skin.
3. Soothing & Healing Properties
Helps calm inflammation, redness, and irritation.
Used in diaper creams and calamine lotion for its skin-healing benefits.
Can support wound healing and reduce minor skin discomforts.
4. Non-Comedogenic (Won’t Clog Pores)
Creates a protective barrier without trapping oil or bacteria.
Good choice for acne-prone skin.
5. Natural Mineral & Reef-Safe
Unlike some chemical sunscreens, zinc oxide is reef-friendly.
Environmentally safe, biodegradable, and non-toxic to marine life.
6. Long-Lasting Barrier
Resistant to sweat and water (depending on formulation).
Acts like a physical shield, reflecting harmful rays rather than absorbing them.
