ZnO+ Mineral Care DETOX + SHIELD

Also known as tocopherol, vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that integrates into the skin cell membranes (the outer layer of cells) and protects against lipid peroxidation, which is a process where fats in the skin are damaged by UV radiation and pollution. This helps stabilize the skin barrier and improve the look of skin. When paired with other antioxidants and UV filters, such as zinc oxide, vitamin E can enhance sun protection by reducing the production of sunburn cells and minimizing UVB-induced damage.

Derived from the Schinus molle tree, also known as American pepper, this plant extract is packed with bioactive compounds that have natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds help reduce visible redness and soothe the skin. Rich in antioxidants, it also helps protect the skin from environmental aggressors.

A broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen filter that reflects both UVA and UVB rays. Our micronized size of zinc oxide offers improved cosmetic elegance, providing a less chalky, more blendable texture without compromising on protection. Zinc oxide also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.

Derived from microscopic marine algae that dwell near the ocean's surface— where sunlight and UV radiation are most intense—phytoplankton extract is rich in amino acids, minerals and antioxidants. To survive in such harsh conditions, these organisms have developed a sophisticated defense system, producing protective enzymes called photolyases. Activated by light, these enzymes aren’t found naturally in humans and have been clinically proven to help protect and repair visible effects of UV-induced damage, making phytoplankton extract a powerful ally in advanced sun protection.

Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide is a multitasking, clinically-backed ingredient with numerous skin benefits. It enhances the skin's barrier function by promoting ceramide production and reducing transepidermal water loss. It also targets skin tone evenness by inhibiting the process by which pigment is passed from melanin-producing cells to surrounding skin cells, all while helping to regulate oil production and calm inflammation.
