Active ingredients:
Zinc Oxide (ZinClear™)
11.6%: Zinc Oxide has been used for hundreds of years as a topical agent
and a safe and non-irritant UV absorbing material. ZinClear provides
nanoparticles that are small but they still protect the skin; they do not
scatter the light, thus becoming invisible, leaving no white mark on the
skin.
Titanium Dioxide 0.67%: Physical sunscreens like
titanium dioxide offer complete UVA and UVB protection without the
irritation potential and instability associated with certain chemical
sunscreens, as well as acting as a thickener.
