Thezinc oxide absorbs and reflects UV rays, thus preventing them from damaging skin cells.

Yes, zinc oxide can be used on sensitive skin. It is, in fact, recognised for its anti-inflammatory properties.

The size of zinc oxide particles is the subject of controversy today. When used in the form of nanoparticles, it is suspected of being able to penetrate the skin barrier and present reprotoxic and carcinogenic risks. Therefore, as a precautionary principle, we exclude nanoparticles from our formulas at Typology.

Zinc oxide does not, strictly speaking, act on wrinkles. However, by protecting the skin from UV rays, it helps to prevent photoaging and therefore the sagging of skin structures.

Several studies have demonstrated that zinc oxide can help to alleviate non-inflammatory acne. However, in cases of inflammatory or persistent acne, the only solution is to consult a dermatologist.

Zinc oxide is a natural mineral. However, the filter found in sun care products has undergone numerous chemical transformations, such as purifications and surface treatments.
