![]() So although we typically like to avoid using anything that we struggle to pronounce, this moisturiser and binder was by far the best way to keep the cream moist, preserved and free from bacteria – 1,2-Hexanediol (Moisturiser), Caprylyl Glycol (Skin Conditioner), Tropolone (Skin Soother), Cetyl Phosphate (Emulsifier), Sodium Chloride (Salt), Oleic Acid (Emulsifier). Zinc is very complicated to formulate with as Zinc naturally "clumps", so ingredients have to be used to make sure this doesn’t happen and it’s able to be spread evenly. It’s also for people who like to know what’s in their sunscreen.Īqua (H₂O’s Fancy Name), Zinc Oxide (For Sun Protection), Coco Caprylate (Coconut-Based Conditioner), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Sorbitan Olivate (Olive-Based Emulsifier), Glycerin (Sugar Alcohol), Lecithin (Soy), Cera Alba (Beeswax), Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxyystearate (Emulsifier), Galactoarabinan (Emulsifier), Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate (Emulsifier), Polyhydroxystearic Acid (Emulsifier), 1,2-Hexanediol (Moisturiser), Caprylyl Glycol (Skin Conditioner), Tropolone (Skin Soother), Cetyl Phosphate (Emulsifier), Sodium Chloride (Salt), Oleic Acid (Emulsifier). Our sunscreen suits people that are sensitive to sunscreen with UV filters, and want a Zinc-based sunscreen that is not greasy. And also all skin types, even for the most sensitive. It’s also suitable for all ages, from babies to adults, and even newborns. Zinc Oxide acts like a reflective umbrella on the skin, reflecting UV rays away. We use Zinc because it’s naturally derived, even if it makes the cream a bit thicker and a little harder to apply. But it was worth it, because we were able to make something we’re proud of and happy to use on ourselves, our family and our loved ones. All of these things took us 4 years of work to achieve. The cream needs to be stable, provide a good reflective film, be naturally preserved etc. Developing a sunscreen with broad spectrum sun protection using only Zinc, without being too greasy is very complicated. We wish making a good sunscreen using only Zinc as the active was as easy as putting Zinc into a moisturiser but it’s not.
