This mineral filter sits on the surface of your skin rather than soaking into it, reflecting and scattering UV rays the moment it's applied. It's Non-Nano, meaning the particles are large enough that they can't be absorbed into the body. Clinical testing on microfine zinc oxide has shown it protects across the full UV spectrum, including the long-wavelength UVA rays that many chemical filters miss. It's also gentle enough for sensitive skin, and considered reef-safe by the scientific community.

Non-Nano zinc oxide is recommended by NOAA and the U.S. National Park Service as a lower-impact alternative to chemical UV filters. Current evidence does not show harm from Non-Nano Zinc Oxide under realistic sunscreen-use conditions, although a comprehensive ecological risk assessment of all sunscreen UV filters is still lacking, as noted in the 2022 National Academies review.
