Zinc oxide skincare FAQs

Zinc oxide is a luminous mineral compound celebrated for its exceptional natural protective and healing properties. It acts as a gentle guardian for the skin, shielding it from harmful UV rays and other environmental pollutants.

Beyond its role as a natural sunscreen, zinc oxide has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe irritated skin, calm redness, and promote a radiant complexion. Its antimicrobial properties purify and clarify, while its ability to support collagen production helps to maintain the skin's youthful elasticity.

Zinc oxide skincare products offer numerous benefits for people with various skin types, including those with aging, sensitive, or blemish-prone skin.

Natural sun protection: Zinc oxide creates a physical barrier against the full spectrum of UVA and UVB rays, safeguarding the skin from photoaging and sunburn. This makes face sunscreens with zinc oxide ideal for both daily wear and prolonged sun exposure.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Renowned for its soothing effects, zinc oxide alleviates skin irritation and redness, making it beneficial for sensitive or reactive skin types.
Enhanced healing: Zinc oxide promotes your skin's natural healing processes, facilitating the repair of minor abrasions and contributing to a healthier, rejuvenated complexion.
Oil regulation: By modulating sebum production, zinc oxide skincare products help to maintain a balanced complexion, reducing the likelihood of clogged pores or breakouts for people with blemish-prone skin.
Antimicrobial action: With its inherent antimicrobial properties, zinc oxide assists in preventing bacterial infections and supports overall skin health.
Anti-aging: Zinc oxide promotes tissue growth and regeneration, supporting collagen production. This improves skin elasticity and smooths the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Zinc oxide skincare products are a great option for providing broad-spectrum sun protection for many skin types.

They’re especially suitable for sensitive skin because, unlike chemical UV filters, zinc oxide sits on the skin's surface rather than being absorbed. This makes it a gentler choice that’s less likely to irritate, while still being effective for people with aging, dry, or oily skin.

Adding zinc oxide to your skincare regimen is simple, given that this natural active ingredient can be found in numerous products. For instance, you'll find it in hydrating zinc oxide moisturizers and daily sun-protecting creams.

Here are tips on how you can add zinc oxide to your routine:

Find the right product: Look for zinc oxide skincare products such as hydrators, daily sunscreens, serums for oily skin or breakouts, or lotions to soothe redness and irritation.
Use in the AM: Daily use of zinc oxide products can protect your skin from exposure to harmful UV rays and pollutants.
Target specific skin concerns: Zinc oxide treatments such as serums + lotions can be applied to calm and balance irritated or sensitive skin, and address signs of aging, redness, or blemishes.
Layer intuitively: After cleansing and toning, use zinc oxide serums as a barrier to lock in moisture and protect your skin. Alternatively, before applying your hydrator, you can use zinc oxide treatments to target skin concerns, such as dry areas or breakouts.

The gentle nature of zinc oxide means it can combine well with other active ingredients found in skincare products, amplifying the benefits without causing additional irritation.

Some of the most common combinations include:

Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide: The combination of these two active ingredients can give broad-band protection against UV rays.
Zinc oxide and niacinamide: These two active ingredients are particularly beneficial when used in conjunction to tackle oily, blemish-prone skin.
Zinc oxide and azelaic acid: Combining products with these ingredients can help regulate sebum and combat imperfections.
Zinc oxide and iron oxide: The addition of iron oxide to creams and lotions can broaden the UV protection of mineral, zinc oxide-based sunscreens.

Due to its gentle nature, zinc oxide skincare products make a great choice for people who have sensitive skin.

Unlike other ingredients that sink into pores, zinc oxide sits on the skin's surface to create a barrier. This reduces potential irritation while keeping your complexion hydrated and balanced.
