Is this an SPF or Sunscreen? 

It is not. SPF products and sunscreens must be formulated with regulated synthetic chemicals. Chemical sunscreen ingredients (e.g., oxybenzone or avobenzone) work by absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat.

What is Zinc Oxide and what is Zinc’s Mechanism of Action?

Zinc Oxide Primarily Deflects, Not Absorbs. Zinc oxide mainly works by reflecting and scattering sunlight, acting as a physical barrier, deflecting the sun's rays away from the skin.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a white, inorganic compound derived from metallic zinc. We use non-nanoparticle, uncoated, pharmaceutical-grade zinc oxide in ELS with Zinc, as it is the purest form of zinc available. Unlike nanoparticle minerals and chemical sun blocks, zinc oxide does not interfere with the skin's or respiration. The molecular size of zinc particles are too large to to penetrate and be absorbed by the skin’s outer layer (the stratum corneum).
