Non-nano Zinc Oxide
Non-nano Zinc Oxide
what it is:
Non-nano Zinc Oxide is a naturally occurring mineral compound used as a physical sunscreen agent. Unlike nano-sized particles, non-nano zinc oxide has larger particles that sit on the skin’s surface, providing effective UV protection without penetrating the skin.
why we use it:
- UV Protection: Blocks both UVA and UVB rays, offering broad-spectrum sun protection.
- Skin Safety: Non-nano particles minimize skin absorption, making it safe for sensitive skin.
- Environmental Benefit: Not restricted under reef-protection laws like Hawaii's, which target chemical filters such as oxybenzone.
can be found in:
Sunscreens, mineral-based cosmetics, skincare products, and diaper creams for skin protection.
the sages nutrition difference:
Our mineral sunscreens use non-nano zinc oxide as a broad-spectrum UV filter: 25% in our Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 and Baby Sunscreen SPF 50, and 20% as the only active in our Sun Stick.
