There are two ways to block the sun: minerals that sit on top, or chemical filters that soak in. We chose the one we are happy to put on our own kids.
We use non-nano zinc on purpose. Larger particles that stay on the surface of your skin, not designed to sink in.
Non-nano simply means the zinc particles are large enough to sit on top of the skin rather than being engineered to penetrate it, which is what most parents and label-readers are looking for. It is the workhorse of clean sun care: one mineral, full broad-spectrum cover.
We pair it with a light oil base so it spreads and rubs in without the heavy, pasty feel mineral sunscreens are known for.
No oxybenzone, octinoxate, or the other absorbing filters families ask us about.
Nothing added to scent it. One less thing for sensitive skin to react to.
Skipping the filters most often named in reef bans, so a day at the water is kinder.
