DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Physically reflects and scatters uvb and uva-ii radiation providing broad-spectrum physical sun protection.
Why It's Used: Most widely used mineral uv filter โ photostable, non-irritating physical sun protection compatible with all skin types including baby and sensitive skin.
How It Works: High refractive index (2.5โ2.7) and semiconductor bandgap provide physical reflection and absorption of uv radiation. primarily uvb (280โ320nm) and uva-ii (320โ340nm) protection, less effective for uva-i (340โ400nm) vs zinc oxide.
Typically Found In: Sunscreens,tinted products,foundations,baby sunscreens
