With today’s skin care consumer caring more than ever about safe, effective, and easy sun protection, brands demand nothing but tried-and-tested, high-performing actives. With further growing knowledge of UVA/B protection and anti-aging benefits, brands seek only reliable, high-performance actives. That is why BFP has become the go-to partner for many leading mineral sunscreen formulators—most notably those using Nano Zinc Oxide as their first choice UV filter.
Understanding Mineral Sunscreens
What are mineral sunscreens?
Mineral sunscreens use physical UV filters—primarily zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—to protect the skin. In contrast to chemical filters, they reflect and scatter UVA and UVB rays, delivering broad-spectrum protection with very little skin absorption.
Why mineral formulas are becoming more popular
Greater clean beauty and desire for safer, reef-safe ingredients.
Awareness of photoaging is reflected in consumers seeking ingredients that offer both UV protection and anti-aging. Regulatory pressure has pushed the ban on many chemical filters, and the popularity of mineral substitutes has increased.
The Specialized Attributes of Zinc Oxide
Comprehensive UV Protection
Zinc oxide is one of the few filters to offer full UVA (320–400 nm) and UVB (290–320 nm) protection. This offers maximum protection from both immediate sunburn and long-term photoaging.
Non-Irritating and Skin-Friendly
Zinc oxide is soft and non-comedogenic in nature and hence appropriate for reactive or sensitive skin types.
Anti-Aging Properties
Using sunscreen with zinc oxide daily prevents wrinkles, pigmentation, and loss of flexibility—key contributors to anti-aging skin care by protecting against UV rays.
