Ingredient

Zinc Oxide

Low risk

FunctionUV Filter

What it is — Zinc Oxide is an inorganic mineral used as a UV filter and mild skin protectant.

What it does — As a mineral UV filter it helps shield skin from UV light, and it can lend a soothing, protective feel; the actual sun protection of any finished product depends on its full formulation and testing.

Typical use — Found in sunscreens, tinted and tone-up creams, and some soothing or barrier products.

Who it suits / good to know — Often chosen by sensitive skin, as mineral filters tend to be gentle. Rely on a product's stated, tested SPF rather than the presence of this single ingredient.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is sensitive.
