Product Description


Zinc oxide in cosmetics is a mineral ingredient that reflects and scatters ultraviolet rays on the skin, and has a soothing effect on the skin. It has a wide range of protection, especially against both UVA and UVB rays. Nano-sized zinc oxide, introduced since 2008, has brought about a major change in sunscreen and skin care products. Advanced formulations that do not leave a white film on the skin have been developed, and nano-zinc oxide in a thin, transparent heet can be used in a variety of products.
