Natural Sunscreen: Zinc Oxide for Better Protection and Better Skin
In today’s world, it is easy to make the decision to switch to a more natural skincare routine due to the fact that natural alternatives to almost anything can be easily found. That being said, what urgently required a proper natural alternative were the sunscreens and the ingredient that makes it all possible is zinc oxide.
This mineral is also known as “physical barrier substance” because it has the ability to sit atop the skin and reflect the sun by scattering away ultraviolet rays. Due to this ability, a small amount of zinc oxide can be found in some chemical sunscreens as well. Contrary to natural suncare products, chemical ones usually include ingredients like artificial fragrances that irritate the skin, and oxybenzone – a chemical that has been linked with a higher risk of endometriosis in women, lower sperm quality in men, skin allergies, and cell damage.
