Derived from natural zinc ore, non-nano zinc oxide is a mineral that when used in proper proportions in sunscreen formulas provides a physical barrier and broad-spectrum UV protection. Non-nano zinc oxide also promotes cell regeneration and has anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and soothing effects for skin irritations. Non-nano means particles are larger than 100nm and therefore, the depth of penetration is maintained at a level that preserves the integrity of its UV protection and advanced healing properties.
