Zinc Oxide is a mineral broad-spectrum UV filter; it is the broadest UVA and UVB reflector approved by the FDA. While it is most commonly man-made for cosmetics, it can naturally occur in zincite, a rare mineral.
Today, traditional and nano-sized zinc oxide can be found in beauty products. Nano-sized zinc oxide can enhance a product's UV protection. While it is not believed to have a negative effect on skin, nano-zinc oxide can be harmful to coral reefs.

Primer Plus
I love that this is a primer PLUS sunscreen. My experience has been that it works well as both. It produces a nice smooth finish and seems to calm my reddish rosacea skin. I am comfortable just going as-is and skipping foundation with this on my face. I'm always a fan of multi-tasking products and this one fits the bill. Next time I may try the tinted version.
