Our Zinc Oxide (also known as: zinc oxide red seal) is non nano (natural) and is not absorbed through the skin. It's probably the only safe sun protection available. With a particle size of less than 0.2 microns and oil solubility, it makes a great choice for adding to your sunscreens, salves, lip balms, and mineral makeup formulations at a usage range of 2% - 25%.

Why we love it: zinc oxide is the perfect base for making your own natural sunscreen.
