Almond Oil

Rich in Vitamin E, almond oil is also great for softening and conditioning the skin and is well suited for an array of challenging skin problems including itchy and severely dry skin. Sweet almond oil is light and penetrates the skin easily. Our oil is cold pressed from 100% pure almonds and is then winterised. It is light amber in colour and possesses a characteristic nutty aroma.

Beeswax

All natural white or bright yellow bees wax is produced by melting honeycombs. After that the wax is cleaned, that way we get rid of all foreign compounds which could make our product unstable. We use bees wax as a natural stabiliser which helps our sunblock create a consistent and water repellent layer on the top of the skin. Bees wax is completely non-toxic and will not irritate the skin. People with allergies to bee products could potentially develop hyper sensitivity of the skin where the product was used

Olive Oil

Vegetable oil made by cold pressing olives. Natural, transparent and slightly yellow liquid with an oily consistency. It is our base for creating the sunblock paste. The big advantage of olive oil is that it doesn’t dry out, combined with bees wax it creates the ultimate protection against dry skin. It is non-toxic and will not irritate the skin. Olive oil ensures that AmaZinc! won't dry out and keeps its protective properties. Olive oil significantly extends expiration date of our sunblocks.

Zinc Oxide

White or slightly yellow amorphous powder, it is found within calamine ore. Zinc oxide is used in our sunblock as an active compound which provides mineral UV filter for the skin. Zinc oxide is even used to cure certain skin irritations due to its anti-virus capabilities. Zinc oxide is non allergenic and non-toxic.White or slightly yellow amorphous powder, it is found within calamine ore.

Kaolin & Magnesium Oxide

Kaolin is a mineral substance which consists of naturally occurring mineral kaolinite and tiny grains of aluminium silicate. Structurally it is a white powder that covers the skin and scatters the UVA&UVB rays. On top of its sun protective attributes, it provides a smoothening agent to the formula of our thick sun blocks. Magnesium oxide is white or slightly yellow amorphous powder, it is found within calamine ore.

Please make sure to apply this sunscreen 15 minutes before going out into the sun.

Apply generously at least 15 minutes before exposure, then reapply often at especially after exposure to water and sweating.

Reapply every 20-30 minutes on very hot days.

Sustainability

Standard chemical sunscreens use substances like oxybenzone, that even in very low concentration harms marine life. Non coated NANO particles of zinc oxide or titanium oxide aren’t any better. With all that in mind we reached a conclusion; as far as science goes these days bulk form of zinc oxide is the safest for the environment.

That is why we choose to make AmaZinc! NANO free, to cause no harm to the Oceans and all living creatures in it.
