(Nano) Zinc Oxide

Description

Nano Zinc Oxide is a physical UV filter widely used in skincare and haircare products. In its nano form, the mineral is reduced to less than 100 nm, allowing for transparent application on the skin while effectively reflecting and blocking UVA and UVB rays.

This mineral-derived ingredient undergoes controlled physical processing to achieve its nano size, which enhances spreadability and aesthetic feel, making it synthetic (S) for cosmetic classification purposes.
