Simply Smooth SPF 50

Formula Number: JZ15-223

Request a physical prototype of this formulation

This oil-in-water sunscreen lotion provides SPF 50 UV protection using only mineral UV filters — specifically non-nano zinc oxide.  Despite its high ZnO load (25%), it is a quick-absorbing formula with flowable viscosity. HallBrite® ZDX Clear enables a high SPF performance and, in combination with Biochemica® Craft Shea Butter, provides a stable foundation and smooth texture. In vivo testing in a US laboratory (3 subjects) yielded static SPF 60, with 40 minute water resistance of SPF 50. In vitro PFA (PPD) ~18 performance with critical wavelength = 372 nm. UVA1/UV = 0.80.
