Sunscreen Benefits (not found in coated zinc oxide)
UVA / UVB BROAD SPECTRUM PROTECTION
“Of the available sunscreens, only zinc oxide provides effective protection across the UV band range of 240 to 400 nm, covering UVC (240 to 280 nm), UVB (280 to 320 nm), UVA 2 (320 to 340 nm), and UVA 1 (340 to 400 nm). - “UVA rays account for 95% of our sun exposure. They cause skin aging and contribute to skin cancer.”
- “The risk for skin cancer doubles in people who have had five or more sunburns.”
- “UVA rays penetrate deeply into the skin layers, damaging collagen and cells which leads to
wrinkling, hyperpigmentation and loss of elasticity.” - “UVB rays mostly affect the outer layer of the skin.”
Zinc Oxide Benefits - “Treatment with both types of uncoated ZnO nanoparticles mobilized pathways and responses centered on cellular stress, survival and apoptosis.”
- “A new study led by two Australian universities has found evidence that zinc oxide nanoparticles used in sunscreen does not cause cellular toxicity even after repeated applications.”
- “The levels we found in blood were very small,” says McCall, a research consultant on nano0safety at CSIRO. “After applications over five days, the levels of the tracer zinc in the blood were one thousandth of what is the naturally-occurring total zinc levels in the blood.”
Pregnancy and Child Safety - “Zinc is known to play a critical role in biological processes including cell growth, differentiation and metabolism and deficiency in this micronutrient restricts childhood growth and decreases resistance in infections, which contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in young children.”
- “In 2011, it was estimated that 116, 000 child deaths per year are attributable to zinc deficiency.”
Powders and Some Dispersions are Available as Vegan & Natural - “6,581,298 vegans in the USA (2019)”
- “30,733,152 vegans in only 14 countries counted”
- “The global natural cosmetics market size is expected to reach a value of USD 48.04 Billion by 2025, increasing by 5.04% from 2019 to 2025, according to a recent report published by Grand View Research.”
Reef Safe - “Zinc (Zn) is a necessary micronutrient in the ocean”
- “Dissolved Zn may therefore be an important control of distributions of surface productivity and the efficiency of the global carbon cycle.”
- “The limited supply of Zn to the surface Atlantic Ocean can explain the lack of an Atlantic
Zn remineralization signal and indicates Zn might play a role in phytoplankton community
composition and productivity.” Cruelty Free - “Animals such as rabbits, rats, mice, and guinea pigs are sometimes forced to eat or inhale
substances, or have a cosmetic ingredient rubbed onto their shaved skin, eyes or ears every day for 28 or 90 days to see if they have an allergic reaction. Then they are killed and cut open to examine the effects the ingredient has on internal organs. These tests are also done with pregnant animals who, after much suffering, are killed along with the fetus.”

- ARPANSA and other national and international health authorities, including the World Health Organization have assessed that overexposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) causes eye damage, sunburn, tanning and other skin damage that can ultimately result in skin cancer.
-
- 40% more material must be applied to the skin for SPF 30 product to achieve same protection as SPF 50 product.

Applications of Zinc Oxide
- Zinc Oxide is used in sunscreen products – UVA and UVB protection.
- Zinc Oxide is a potent antioxidant and a good substantivity when used in the oral cavity.
- Zinc Oxide is effective against plaque- and caries-forming bacteria.
- Zinc Oxide has an anti-staph bactericidal effect.
- Zinc Oxide is active against streptococci by blocking the synthesis of their energy molecules.
- Zinc Oxide is effective against Fusobacterium Nucleatum and Prevotella intermedia: the two main bacteria that cause gingivitis.
- Zinc Oxide is an essential component of teeth. It is more concentrated in the superficial layer of the enamel.
- Zinc Oxide also helps maintain oral bone health.
- Zinc Oxide helps treat and prevent diaper rash. Protects chafed skin due to diaper rash and helps seal out wetness.
- Zinc Oxide dries the oozing and weeping of poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac.
