Zinc Oxide

Zinc oxide is a mineral and an ingredient found in many sunscreens for its UV protection. Its anti-inflammatory properties means it is gentle on most skin types, making it especially soothing for sensitive, acne-prone skin or irritations such as psoriasis, eczema, sunburn and rashes. It is also said to have antioxidant properties, helping slow down the process of oxidative stress in the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, blemishes and age spots. Also said to speed up healing processes and increase the elasticity of the skin by stimulating the formation of collagen and helping to repair skin cells.
