In combination with Zinc Oxide:
• Iron oxides enhance protection against skin damage – new results demonstrate HEV blocking powder in specialty skin care products 
formulated with iron oxides (Carlsbad, CA. 2020) ColoreScience.
• Iron oxides in novel skin care formulations attenuate blue light for enhanced protection against skin damage (Bernstein EF, et al. 2021)

ZinClear XP is designed to provide exceptional UVB (SPF – 280nm to 320nm) and UVA (Broad Spectrum – 320nm to 400nm) protection while minimizing reflection in the visible spectra (400nm+) which causes the ‘white cast’ on the skin.

• Adding iron oxides further diminish white cast on skin, especially important for darker skin tones, but welcomed by all.
• Iron oxides provide protection against all visible light, including blue light.
• Darker skin tones are more susceptible to immediate pigment darkening when exposed to visible light.
• Lest you think this is a new notion, check out this reference to a 1991 paper from the JAMA dermatology; Efficiency of Opaque 
Photoprotective Agents in the Visible Light Range (Kaye, ET, et al., 1991).

FDA Position

The FDA sunscreen safety review, published 24/09/2021, has confirmed zinc oxide to be the only broad-spectrum UV Filter considered safe and effective, whilst these 12 UV Filters have been identified as potentially toxic and/or carcinogenic:

Suzuki et al. (2005) reviewed thirty-five studies that have raised concerns about the potential adverse health effects caused by chemical UV filters. Also, a recently published study by Ginzburg et al. (2021) suggested: “that caution must be taken when formulating sunscreens containing both zinc oxide and small-molecule (petrochemical) UV-filters to avoid unintended consequences during use.” This has been highlighted given recent recalls.

Infants, Babies and Pregnancy

The FDA’s release published 24/08/2021 stated “infants are at greater risk than adults of sunscreen side effects.” Zinc oxide is considered safe for infants by the FDA and is even present at up to 40% in nappy rash creams. Therefore, if there is a situation where sun protection such as protective clothing or shade is not available the safest option for babies is a Natural Zinc based 100% Organic Vegan Sunscreen. Amazon US search volume (Year on Year 2020/2021) has shown that ‘organic baby sunscreen’ now represents 25% of baby sunscreen searches versus 9% the previous year, indicating a large and growing market.

Zinc Oxide used as a

Treatment since 2000BC

“Zinc had been in use during the regime of Pharaohs, and historical records show that Zinc Oxide was used in many ointments for the treatment of injuries and boils even in 2000BC.”

UVA/UVB/UVC & Blue Light 

Broad Spectrum

“Of the available sunscreens only zinc oxide provides effective protection across the UV band range of 240 to 400 nm, covering UCV (240 to 280 nm), UVB (280 – 320nm), UVA 2 (320 to 340 nm), and UVA 1 (340 to 400 nm).”​

Zinc Oxide Safety

  • “Treatment with both types of uncoated ZnO nanoparticles mobilized pathways and responses centered on cellular stress, survival and apoptosis.” [Study used in article from CSIRO.]

  • “A new study led by two Australian universities has found evidence that zinc oxide nanoparticles used in sunscreen does not cause cellular toxicity even after repeated applications.” [ Journal of Investigative Dermatology Study]

Hypoallergenic

“In a study in which a 25% zinc oxide patch (2.9mg/cm2) was placed on human skin for 48 hours, there was no evidence of dermal irritation.”

Zinc Wound Healing

“Of all natural and synthetic wound dressing materials, the chitosan hydrogel microporous bandages laced with zinc oxide nanoparticles developed by Kumar et al are highly effective in treating burns, wounds and diabetic foot ulcers.”
