Mineral UV Filter
Sunbest-ZnO
INCI: Zinc Oxide
Formulator notes
Zinc oxide mineral filter covering UV-B and UV-A, including long-wave UV-A, by absorption and scattering. Proposed as GRASE by the FDA, as is TiO₂. Use 5-25%; not in sprayable or inhalable formats in the EU.
Hold it The molecule in AR on a phone, in 3D anywhere else.
Open in the SPF Lab An in-silico simulator over the Sunbest range, pre-loaded with this filter.
Highlights
- Broad-spectrum physical (mineral) UV filter that also acts as an opacifying pigment.
- Protects by a combination of absorption (band-gap transitions) and scattering.
- Significant absorption across UV-B and UV-A (incl. long-wave UV-A): one of the most truly broad-spectrum mineral filters.
