Why is Zinc Oxide the BEST and SAFEST sunscreen on Earth?
Zinc Oxide has the broadest spectral absorbance throughout UVA and UVB regions of any FDA approved sunscreen
It's broader spectrum and produces fewer free radicals after absorbing UV radiation than Titanium Dioxide, and has no spectral absorbance holes unlike petrochemical sunscreens. It simply offers better UVA & UVB absorbance than both Mexoryl (which is strictly a UVA absorber) and Neutrogena's Helioplex Avobenzone/Oxybenzone cocktail.
Zinc Oxide is a mineral.
Since it is literally a rock, it never decomposes chemically, unlike all the other time and heat-sensitive carbon-based petrochemical sunscreens. You can leave a tube in your hot car and not worry later about its effectiveness. Zinc Oxide is also completely photostable, so it remains effective as long as it stays on your skin. No other petrochemical sunscreen can claim this, not even the much over- hyped Mexoryl.
Zinc Oxide cannot be absorbed through your skin.
It is not soluble or compatible with bodily fluids or tissue, so it stays on the surface of your skin where it remains maximally effective at protecting you from harmful UV radiation.
Zinc Oxide is made from Zinc, which is a critical mineral nutrient in our bodies.
Comparably, Titanium in Titanium Dioxide is just another toxic heavy metal that has no biological purpose. You won't find Titanium in your vitamin supplement, but you will surely find Zinc.
Zinc Oxide's safety is unsurpassed - it is the sole sunscreen active ingredient that's approved for use on children under 6 months of age.
Children have the most sensitive skin and FDA has determined that the petrochemical sunscreens aren't safe for use on babies. Zinc Oxide is the sole safe choice. It's also the #1 pediatrician-recommended diaper rash treatment because it has such an excellent safety record, even on the most tender and sensitive skin on the planet - inflamed baby bottoms! Imagine what it can do for you as a sunscreen. Please remember to keep your young ones in the shade as much as possible!
Zinc Oxide has no hormonal side-effects
Unlike the petrochemical sunscreens that act as xenoestrogens and can cause undesirable hormonal effects (xenoestrogens have been linked to early puberty in girls, breast cancer in women, and can impair physical performance for athletes), Zinc Oxide does not disrupt our normal hormonal balance. It's a naturally occuring environmental mineral to which plants and animals have adapted. It won't feminize fish or damage ecosystem reproductive cycles. Since it is not an endocrine disruptor, it is the safest sunscreen for pregnant women and children - two groups who are the most sensitive to hormonal disregulation.
