Z-Cote®

Z-COTE® is an innovative form of microfine zinc oxide, with a particle size of fewer than 0.2 microns that is invisible when applied to the skin. Because it blocks both UVB and UVA rays, zinc oxide can be used alone or – since it is synergistic with organics – in combination with other sunscreen agents. This product does not require special solvents or photo stabilizers and is easy to incorporate into cosmetic formulas. The result is simpler, gentler formulations with total sun protection. INCI: Zinc Oxide
