Physical barriers work by reflecting UV rays away from the skin, like a layer of tiny mirrors. Here are some tips to apply zinc oxide sunscreen correctly: Apply it about 15 minutes before you get out in the sun.

Zinc oxides ability to block different types of rays makes it one of the most effective sun protection products on the market at fighting the suns rays. Zinc Oxide’s Role in Sunscreen Zinc oxide is used in sunscreens that rely on physical barriers, as opposed to chemical barriers. The potential for titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles in sunscreens to cause adverse effects depends primarily upon the ability of the nanoparticles to reach viable skin cells. We formulate without 1,300+ questionable ingredients banned by EU Cosmetic Regulations. The Beard Storys Mineral Sports Sunscreen offers a Zinc Oxide non-toxic and safe formula that forms a protective barrier on top of the skin and reflects. This oil-in-water sunscreen cream based on HallBrite EZ-FLO ZDX Plus non-nano zinc oxide dispersion provides broad spectrum (SPF/PFA 3), label SPF 40.
