Zinc Oxide is a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen filter widely used in Korean skincare (K-beauty) to provide reliable protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Unlike chemical filters, Zinc Oxide works as a physical shield, sitting on the skin’s surface to reflect harmful UV radiation. Beyond sun protection, it is also valued for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and oil-regulating properties, making it a favorite for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
In K-beauty formulations, Zinc Oxide is often combined with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, or Centella Asiatica to ensure lightweight, non-greasy, and comfortable sun care that suits daily wear.
