4HR Water Resistant offers the same physical protection from damaging UV rays as the original award winning INVISIBLE ZINC®, but with 4 hours water resistance. With a non greasy formula and transparent finish, it's ideal for outdoor training, the beach or a day out on the boat. The difference is in the micronised 100% natural mineral reflectors which create an invisible waterproof shield protecting from both UVB and deeper penetrating UVA rays. NO titanium dioxide or chemical fliters. Suitable for sensitive skin and children
THE BENEFITS
A physical barrier between you and the sun. Invisible Zinc® protects against surface UVB and deeper penetrating UVA.
Invisible Zinc® uses only one active ingredient-Zinc Oxide- a mineral reflector found in nature to create a physical, reflective veil on the surface of your skin.
Invisible Zinc® uses micro-fine Zinc Oxide which although invisible to the naked eye still provides outstanding broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. True broad spectrum – offers consistent broad spectrum protection against UV(B) and UV(A) rays.
Invisible Zinc® doesn’t break down in the sun.
Invisible Zinc® means natural sun protection without skin whitening. Zinc Oxide has a long history of safe use in skin care products and is currently a key ingredient in many baby creams, calamine lotions and skin salves.
Wear Invisible Zinc® protection every day, not just at the beach.
What makes Zinc so special?
Zinc Oxide is a NATURAL, PHYSICAL sunscreening agent that sits on your skin reflecting both UVA and UVB rays. Chemical filter sunscreens work by absorbing the suns rays. Most sunscreens contain a combination of two or more chemical UV filters to protect from UVA and UVB.
Why is it so important to protect against UVA rays?
UVA rays (also known as the silent wrinkler) can do deeper level damage at the cell level, and can be responsible for skin ageing and wrinkling.
If Zinc is so good why aren’t all sunscreens like INVISIBLE ZINC®?
In the past Zinc Oxide was very difficult to formulate with and Zinc sunscreens used to mean bright white, pink or yellow streaks across cheeks. Invisible Zinc is behind a world- patented form of Zinc Oxide and the latest in sunscreen technology- to produce sunscreens which still provide the highest rating available in Australia, SPF 30+ protection. Invisible Zinc is now one of the leading zinc sunscreen manufacturers in the world. Providing a chemical UV filter-free alternative sunscreen at an affordable price for everyday use.
What’s the active ingredient in your sunscreen?
Invisible Zinc® uses world-patented form of micronsed Zinc Oxide that has been milled down so the particles are no longer visible to the naked eye. Invisible Zinc is classed as a physical barrier sunscreen. To find out if your sunscreen is a physical barrier or chemical filter - just check the ingredients list.
MICRONISED (Not Nano) SUNSCREENS
INVISIBLE ZINC purchases Zinc Oxide that has an average particle size of 1 micron. This size range is known as micronised (not nano) and is 20 to 50 times larger than the size of typical nanoparticle.
