When used properly, offers broad spectrum sunscreen with 97% UVB protection. Why zinc oxide? Zinc oxide is a preferred active ingredient in sunscreen over titanium dioxide and the only one we use because: Zinc oxide is the most effective UV absorber across the entire UVA and UVB spectrum. Zinc oxide is made from the critical mineral nutrient zinc whereas titanium is a metal that has no biological use in our bodies and has poorly defined long term exposure risks. Zinc oxide holds tight to its electrons when it absorbs UV energy and limits the creation of free radicals that do damage and increase the risk of skin cancer. Zinc oxide is the sole sunscreen active ingredient approved for use on children by FDA. The zinc oxide in our formula is non-nano, and not-micronized; there are zero zinc oxide nanoparticles in our formulas. Why is there Vitamin D in the formula? Our sunscreen is fortified with the USRDA recommendation of Vitamin D3 (400IU/ounce of sunscreen), a critical vitamin that normally requires UV energy to be produced in our skin. Since sunscreens reduce UV exposure (which is a good thing and critical in limiting cellular and DNA damage and aging processes), they can also limit Vitamin D production. More & more information is coming out from the medical community regarding how Vitamin D may play a significant role in the prevention of chronic health & disease issues.
