Micronized Z-Cote is the most effective and durable broad-spectrum UV filter available to scientists. It scatters all waveforms of UV light before they can enter the skin. It also works synergistically with other UV-absorbing components to make both more effective.
UVA protection: Octinoxate stops the breakdown of the collagen layer caused by the release of collagenase (collagen-destroying enzymes) and elastase (which destroys elastin, your skin’s elastic membrane). Natural anti-aging peptides and aloe then protect the collagen layer as it regains its youthful structure. Our formula blocks over 85% of all UV radiation (UVA and UVB), which is 220% more effective than average commercial sun care products.
Our exclusive formulation delivers 2 mg/sq. cm—the same film thickness the FDA requires during SPF testing. It has a light melon scent and glides on the skin flawlessly. Though it is a light pink color, once applied it leaves only a slight hint of a powder-veil finish.
pH level: 5.5 — for normal, dehydrated, and sensitive skin types.
To be applied in the morning at least 20 minutes before sun exposure.
Active ingredients: Micronized zinc oxide (UVA block), octinoxate (UVB absorber)
