At Balmy Fox, we’re passionate about harnessing the power of nature to create skincare products that are good for you and the planet. And regarding sun protection, we believe zinc oxide is a hero ingredient. Let me tell you why we choose zinc oxide for our sunscreens and why it’s superior for your skin and the environment.
Zinc oxide is a naturally occurring mineral used for centuries to protect and heal the skin. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb UV radiation, zinc oxide works by creating a physical barrier on your skin that reflects those harmful rays away. This makes it incredibly gentle, even for the most sensitive skin types, and it’s one of the reasons we love it so much.
We all know that the sun’s rays can be damaging. UVA rays are the ones that cause premature ageing and wrinkles, while UVB rays are responsible for those painful sunburns. Zinc oxide is a champion at blocking both, giving you proper broad-spectrum protection. This means you can enjoy the sunshine, knowing your skin is shielded from those harmful effects.
Beyond its sun protection superpowers, zinc oxide has some incredible benefits for your skin:
• Gentle on sensitive skin: It’s non-irritating and hypoallergenic, so even those with the most delicate skin can use it without worry.
• Non-comedogenic: Say goodbye to clogged pores! Zinc oxide won’t cause breakouts.
• Soothes and calms: If your skin feels a bit irritated or red from the sun, zinc oxide can help soothe and calm it.
At Balmy Fox, we’re deeply committed to protecting our planet. That’s why we choose zinc oxide, a reef-safe ingredient. Many chemical sunscreens contain ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate that are known to be harmful to coral reefs and marine life. You can enjoy your time in the ocean with zinc oxide, knowing you’re not contributing to this damage.
Zinc oxide comes in two forms: nano and non-nano. We choose non-nano zinc oxide particles because they are larger and not absorbed into the skin. This ensures both safety and efficacy and aligns with our commitment to using the most natural and environmentally friendly ingredients.
We believe zinc oxide sunblocks offer a cleaner, greener alternative to chemical SPFs:
At Balmy Fox, we’re dedicated to providing you with sun protection that’s safe, effective, and sustainable. Our sunscreens are formulated with non-nano zinc oxide and other natural ingredients, and we’re always striving to minimize our environmental impact through our packaging and practices.
