Zinc oxide ointments are as old as human history. The use of pushpanjan, probably zinc oxide, as a salve for eyes and open wounds, is mentioned in the Indian medical text the Charaka Samhita, thought to date from 500 BC or before. Zinc oxide ointment is also mentioned by the Greek physician Dioscorides (1st century AD). Galen suggested treating ulcerating cancers with zinc oxide, as did Avicenna in his The Canon of Medicine. It is used as an ingredient in products such as baby powder and creams against diap
Our Zinc oxide is non-nano. We choose this because while the nano particles make the product less visibile they also reduce the uv spectrum protection which is our first priority. Our zinc oxide is produced using the American process where the mineral zincite mined in New Jersey is heated with carbon which will create zinc vapor which will react to the air and create zinc oxide.
A common misconception about zinc oxide is that it works by the particles reflecting uv rays. In truth it absorbs uv radiation via a process of electron excitation called band-gap absorption. The rays are converted to infrared and disposed of as heat. Zinc oxide is special in that it is one of the few known sunscreen active ingredients that provides broad specturm defense. It absorbs both UVA radiation(95% of Sun's UV) associated with sunburn, premature aging, wrinkles and some cancers, and UVB radiation(5%
