Zinc Oxide

About Zinc Oxide

Discover the mineral strength of zinc oxide

Welcome a skincare ally that works at the surface and at your skin’s resilience. Zinc oxide sits on the skin to reflect and absorb the sun’s rays, while also forming a soothing barrier that helps calm irritation and support a healthier-looking complexion.

Find your perfect zinc oxide formulation

Whether you’re looking for a mineral sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection, a restorative barrier cream for reactive skin, or a calming overnight treatment for redness, zinc oxide offers versatility. Choose blends tailored for your skin type — light, mattified textures for oily skin, richer creams for dry or post-procedure skin.

Personalised advice on incorporating it daily

If you’re new to zinc oxide, start by replacing your current sunscreen with a zinc oxide formula or integrating a targeted barrier cream into your evening routine. Always apply in sufficient amount, reapply as needed for sun-exposure, and pair with soothing hydrators and antioxidants for optimal results. To address layering concerns or skin tone challenges (such as white cast), test on your jawline and under makeup. If you’d like personalised guidance, feel free to contact our expert team, explore deeper insights on our read our blog’s ingredient hub or take our free online skin test to find your ideal fit.

Expert Tip for Zinc Oxide

"Zinc oxide is a powerful ally in your skincare routine, especially for calming blemish-prone or oily skin. For the best results, use a zinc oxide-infused product to balance oil production and soothe inflammation. If you’re dealing with acne or sensitivity, try layering a zinc -based serum or cream over your cleanser to target problem areas and reduce redness. This ensures your skin feels calm and refreshed, making it perfectly prepped for moisturisers and SPF."
