Description

Physical UV-Filter! Zinc oxide is added to cosmetics for several reasons: 1. Sun protection: it is a physical filter that reflects and scatters ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It protects the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays that can cause sunburn. 2. Skin calming: it has anti-inflammatory properties, so it is often used to soothe irritated or sensitive skin. It can help reduce inflammation, irritation, and redness. 3. Absorption of excess oil: it has absorbing properties, which means it can help absorb excess skin oil. It is important to note that zinc oxide can leave a white cast on the skin, so in cosmetic products different forms of zinc oxide are used and combined with other ingredients to reduce this effect.
