Key Benefits 100% Natural Beeswax and Zinc Oxide for superb barrier protection Helps soothe eczema and cradle cap. Keeps normal skin moisture in and nappy moisture out. Zinc Oxide Is a naturally occurring inorganic compound. In skin care products it has been used to combat a variety of skin conditions and is known for its ability to create a barrier. It is non-irritating, non-allergenic and doesn’t block the pores of the skin. We use zinc in our Baby Bottom balm and Clear Zinc in our lip butters, Sun Protect moisturiser and Day Shift handcreme to provide and SPF15. Clear Zinc Oxide is made from nanoparticles (particules smaller than 100 nanometers) that have been fused together into larger particles called aggregates. After the particles are fused together, no detectable nanoparticles remain. The result is that you get less whitening properties of nanoparticles with safety and efficacy of larger particles. Zinc Oxide stays on the top of your skin making it a very effective screen for UVA and UVB rays.
