Zinc & Mineral Sunscreen FAQs
Zinc sunscreen works differently from chemical SPF. Instead of absorbing UV rays, zinc oxide reflects them, offering immediate, broad-spectrum protection. Surface uses non-nano zinc, so the mineral stays on the skin’s surface, protecting effectively without absorbing into your body.
Benefits of zinc sunscreen include:
- Broad-spectrum SPF protection using non-nano zinc oxide
- Ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, or reactive skin
- Mineral-based formula that does not clog pores
- Reef conscious and Hawaii Act 104 compliant
- Stable, long-lasting UV defense that stays where you apply it
No. Zinc oxide sits on top of your skin, making zinc sunscreen naturally non-comedogenic. Zinc also calms redness and reduces irritation, making mineral SPF ideal for sensitive or breakout-prone skin.
You may develop a slight tan, but remember that a tan is still a form of sun damage. Zinc oxide blocks most UVA and UVB rays, helping prevent burns, aging, and dark spots. For a bronzed look without UV exposure, pair your SPF with bronzer or sunless tanner.
Surface zinc sunscreens contain no oxybenzone or octinoxate. Using non-nano zinc oxide makes the formulas reef-conscious and safe for marine environments, giving you clean protection that respects the ocean.
