    Glossary Zinc Oxide

    white mineral used in sunscreens and skin treatments

    Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a white, powdery mineral that is commonly used in various products, including sunscreens, diaper rash creams, and cosmetics, due to its ability to block ultraviolet (UV) light and soothe irritated skin. In the context of hair and scalp health, zinc oxide can help manage dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis by reducing inflammation and controlling the growth of certain fungi.
