Non Nano Mineral Sunscreen

This sunscreen uses 15% non-nano zinc oxide, which is considered one of the safest and most effective sun filters during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It’s a mineral shield that protects without chemical absorption. Suitable for daily use on sensitive or expecting skin.

✅ Zinc Oxide (15%): A physical/mineral UV filter that sits on top of the skin. Considered the safest and most recommended sunscreen active during pregnancy because it is not absorbed systemically.

✅ Supportive emollients & hydrators (caprylic/capric triglyceride, glycerin, castor seed oil, sunflower seed oil, pongamia seed extract) are pregnancy-friendly.

✅ Dimethicone & polymers provide a smooth texture, no risk.

⚠️ Contains ethylhexylglycerin and phenoxyethanol as preservatives. These are widely used and considered safe at cosmetic levels, but sometimes flagged for very sensitive skin.

❌ No retinoids, chemical UV filters (like oxybenzone or octinoxate), or high-strength exfoliants.

This mineral sunscreen is formulated with zinc oxide and lightweight emollients, making it low risk for pore clogging. While most skin types — even acne-prone — tolerate it well, those with very oily skin may want to patch test first, since richer sunscreen bases can sometimes feel heavy.


✅ Mineral filter (Zinc Oxide, 15%): Non-comedogenic and often recommended for acne-prone or sensitive skin. It provides broad-spectrum protection without clogging pores.

✅ Light emollients (caprylic/capric triglyceride, glycerin, isododecane) are well-tolerated and low on the comedogenicity scale.

✅ Soothing agents (pongamia seed extract, castor seed oil derivatives) support barrier function.

⚠️ Dimethicone & crosspolymers: Silicone-based, generally considered non-comedogenic, but in rare cases can trap debris if skin isn’t cleansed properly.

⚠️ Butyloctyl salicylate: Used for slip and sunscreen performance; not typically clogging, but may feel heavy for extremely oily skin.

❌ No highly comedogenic oils (like coconut oil or lanolin) are present, but this is still a richer sunscreen formula, so some very acne-prone users might find it occlusive.

This mineral sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection with zinc oxide while staying gentle on skin. It’s formulated without harsh acids or irritants, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive. Those highly reactive to silicones may want to patch test first.

✅ Zinc oxide is the UV filter — a physical/mineral sunscreen ingredient that’s widely regarded as gentle and non-irritating.

✅ Supporting emollients like caprylic/capric triglyceride, glycerin, sunflower seed oil, and castor oil help nourish and soften skin.

✅ No strong exfoliants or aggressive surfactants.

⚠️ Dimethicone and acrylates copolymer make it more cosmetically elegant, but some with silicone sensitivities might find it occlusive.

⚠️ Includes butyloctyl salicylate, which improves spreadability but may rarely cause sensitivity in reactive skin.

⚠️ As with all sunscreens, reapplication and layering with other products may increase the chance of clogged pores in acne-prone users (though zinc itself is generally safe).
