Zinc Oxide

About

Zinc Oxide is a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen filter widely used in Korean skincare (K-beauty) to provide reliable protection against both UVA and UVB rays . Unlike chemical filters, Zinc Oxide works as a physical shield , sitting on the skin’s surface to reflect harmful UV radiation. Beyond sun protection, it is also valued for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and oil-regulating properties , making it a favorite for sensitive and acne-prone skin. In K-beauty formulations , Zinc Oxide is often combined with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, or Centella Asiatica to ensure lightweight, non-greasy, and comfortable sun care that suits daily wear. Key Benefits of Zinc Oxide in K-Beauty Broad-spectrum sun protection – Defends skin from UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) damage. Soothes sensitive & acne-prone skin – Naturally calms redness and irritation. Oil control & skin balance – Helps regulate sebum, making it ideal for oily and combination skin.
