Zinc Oxide is naturally a white, chalky mineral that does not blend easily into the skin - which is why most mass-market sunscreens use chemical UV filters instead. MooGoo spent four years developing this formula, using a specially processed Australian-made Zinc Oxide dispersed in Jojoba Oil that helps it spread more smoothly and sit clearer on the skin than standard zinc formulas. The result is a physical sunscreen that provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection without the compromises that typically come with zinc-based sunscreens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eZinc Oxide works as a physical UV filter - sitting on the surface of the skin and reflecting UV radiation away rather than absorbing it into the skin the way chemical UV filters do. It does not break down in sunlight or dissolve in water, making it a stable and reliable sun protection ingredient. It is also inherently well-suited to sensitive skin, as it does not require the same sensitising chemical compounds found in synthetic UV filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe base formula uses Jojoba Seed Oil, Glycerin, and Coconut-derived conditioning ingredients to support skin moisture alongside the sun protection - avoiding the drying or tight feeling that some mineral sunscreens can leave. The formula is preserved without parabens or phenoxyethanol, and contains no fragrance, alcohol, or essential oils. It has been independently tested for SPF, water resistance, and skin tolerability, and is dermatologically tested on sensitive skin with all participants scoring 0 for redness and irritation. Suitable for all ages from newborn, all skin types, and for use on both face and body. Australian made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between physical and chemical sunscreens?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhysical sunscreens - also called mineral sunscreens - use ingredients like Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide that sit on the surface of the skin and reflect UV rays away. Chemical sunscreens use synthetic UV filters that absorb UV rays into the skin and convert them into heat. MooGoo uses only Zinc Oxide, making this a purely physical sunscreen with no chemical UV filters. This makes it particularly well suited to sensitive and reactive skin types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf Zinc is usually white, how does this rub in clear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStandard Zinc Oxide is white and chalky on the skin. MooGoo uses a specially processed Zinc Oxide dispersed in Jojoba Oil, which helps it spread more smoothly and sit much clearer on the skin than conventional zinc formulas. It may leave a slight sheen on deeper skin tones, but goes on significantly more transparently than typical zinc sunscreens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this safe for newborns?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The formula is suitable for use from birth. It is free from chemical UV filters, synthetic fragrance, alcohol, essential oils, parabens, and phenoxyethanol - all common sensitisers in conventional sunscreens. It has been dermatologically tested on sensitive skin with no reactions recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this sunscreen water-resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The formula has been independently tested for water resistance and confirmed to provide protection for up to 40 minutes of water exposure. Reapplication after swimming, sweating, or towel-drying is always recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does SPF 40 compare to SPF 50?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPF 40 blocks approximately 97.5% of UVB rays. SPF 50 blocks approximately 98%. The difference in protection between SPF 40 and SPF 50 is marginal - what matters more is applying enough sunscreen and reapplying regularly throughout the day. Generous, consistent application at SPF 40 provides better protection than a thin application at SPF 50.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this formula reef-safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The formula uses Zinc Oxide with a median particle size of 310 nanometres - well above the 100 nanometre threshold generally considered safe for marine life and coral. It is also free from Oxybenzone and Octinoxate, chemical UV filters known to cause coral bleaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I do if the sunscreen separates?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the tube has been exposed to heat - such as a hot car or direct sun at the beach - the formula may separate slightly and a thin clear liquid may emerge first. This is normal for zinc-based sunscreens. Simply shake the tube or mix on skin as you apply. The formula is still effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan adults use this sunscreen too?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. This is exactly the same formula as the MooGoo Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 40 for adults - the baby packaging is the only difference. It is suitable for all ages, skin types, and genders\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"healthy.co.nz","offers":[{"title":"120gm","offer_id":45810021040237,"sku":"MOG008","price":25.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/4681\/4573\/files\/MooGooKidsSunscreen.jpg?v=1788929396","url":"https:\/\/healthy.co.nz\/products\/baby-clear-zinc-sunscreen-spf-40","provider":"healthy.co.nz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
