Zinc Oxide

Accient mineral that calms, soothes and, yes, photoprotects. 

First documented application of zinc oxide dates back to 500 BC, used for both eye and wound healing! Today, it’s a common active ingredient found in ointments/balms for diaper rash, poison ivy, dandruff, and other minor skin irritations.

Naturally antiseptic, antibacterial, and slightly astringent, zinc oxide is especially beneficial for acne-prone or troubled skin.
