Titanium dioxide 10%: Inert earth mineral used as a sunscreen ingredient in cosmetics. It protects skin from UVA and UVB radiation and is considered to have no risk of skin sensitivity. Because of its gentleness, titanium dioxide is an excellent sunscreen active for use on sensitive, redness-prone skin. It’s also great for use around the eyes, as it is highly unlikely to cause stinging. Titanium dioxide as used in sunscreens is commonly modified with other ingredients to ensure efficacy and stability. Examples of what are known as surface modifier ingredients used for titanium dioxide include stearic acid, isostearic acid, polyhydroxystearic acid, and dimethicone/methicone copolymer.

Zinc oxide: When used in sunscreen products, ZnO acts as a physical block to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation, helping to reduce or prevent sunburn and premature aging of the skin.

(280–320 nm) rays of ultraviolet light.
