Uncovering the Dangers of Synthetic Zinc Oxide in Sunscreens. Written by Derrick Odomes III
Zinc oxide is a mineral-based active ingredient used in sunscreens to absorb, reflect, and scatter UV radiation. It is a popular ingredient due to its ability to provide broad spectrum sun protection, and has been used in sunscreens for many years. However, when zinc oxide is made synthetically, it can cause cellular deterioration in the skin when exposed to heat, making it unsuitable for use in water-based formulas such as sunscreens.
The synthetic variant of zinc oxide is not as stable as its natural counterpart, so it can break down and release dangerous free radicals when exposed to UV radiation. Additionally, synthetic zinc oxide is not as effective at blocking UV radiation as natural zinc oxide, and therefore, it is not as effective at protecting the skin from the sun’s rays.
When exposed to heat, the synthetic variant of zinc oxide can cause cellular damage and deterioration. The primary concern with this type of zinc oxide is that it can cause inflammation, redness, and dryness in the skin. In extreme cases, it can even lead to skin cancer. Furthermore, this type of zinc oxide can cause irritation and sensitivity in the skin, which can lead to further skin issues.
Fortunately, there is a safe and effective alternative to synthetic zinc oxide: the Hydro-Defence Serum from Osthetics Skincare Professionals.
