Zinc oxide sunscreen is a mineral sunscreen that uses zinc oxide as the active sunscreen ingredient. Zinc oxide helps provide broad-spectrum sun protection when the finished product is labeled broad-spectrum and used as directed.
Shoppers often choose zinc oxide sunscreen because they prefer a mineral sunscreen to a formula built around common chemical UV filters. Waxhead focuses on non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen and simple ingredient lists for people who care about what they put on their skin.
Non-nano zinc oxide refers to zinc oxide particles that are larger than nanoparticles. Many shoppers prefer non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen because they want a mineral sunscreen that sits on the skin’s surface rather than a formula built around tiny, transparent particles.
Non-nano zinc oxide is also part of why mineral sunscreen can look more visible on the skin. If white cast is your main concern, choose a tinted zinc oxide sunscreen or apply a thinner, even layer and reapply as directed.
Mineral sunscreen and chemical sunscreen can both be labeled broad spectrum when they meet sunscreen testing requirements. The difference is the active sunscreen filter system. Waxhead uses zinc oxide as the mineral active ingredient.

|---|---|---|

| Type | Mineral sunscreen | Chemical sunscreen |
| Finish | Untinted zinc oxide can look more visible; tinted formulas reduce visible white cast | Often more transparent on skin |
| Best fit | Ingredient-conscious shoppers, sensitive skin routines, families, outdoor use, and mineral sunscreen buyers | Shoppers who prioritize an invisible finish or lighter cosmetic feel |
| Water use | Choose a labeled water-resistant product and reapply as directed | Choose a labeled water-resistant product and reapply as directed |
