ZnO with superior photostability and UV spectrum coverage provides UV protection primarily via bandgap absorption of UV radiation and not through significant reflection or scattering; it is able to absorb UV
and convert the absorbed energy into infrared light which it disposes of as harmless heat. ZnO is the most
effective UV absorber across the entire UVA and UVB [UVA, long-term skin damage (wrinkles), some skin
cancers; and UVB, sunburns, most skin cancers] spectrum; ZnO holds tight to its electrons when it
absorbs UV energy and inhibits the formation of free radicals that can damage cells and increase the risk
of skin cancer. Non-nano, and not-micronized ZnO; no skin absorbent nanoparticles in this formula.
Antioxidant vitamin E [can inhibit unregulated lipid peroxidation (due to solar radiation)].
How to use: Shake well. Applying a mineral sunscreen can be different; best to not have a big glob in one
spot; better to apply in sections and rub in to blend. Apply generously and evenly fifteen (15) minutes
before sun exposure. Reapply at least every two (2) hours and/or after eighty (80) minutes of swimming
or sweating. Reapply immediately after towel drying. Children under six (6) months of age, consult with a
doctor before use. Pro-tip: formula is water-activated, best applied to dry skin.
