(Health-NewsWire.Net, July 16, 2015 ) Rosenberg, Texas -- What does non-nano mean in a zinc oxide sunscreen?
Many times, people only hear words and have a vague idea if they are beneficial or should be steered clear of. The average consumer might hear "non-nano" and know that it's a good thing, but they don't really understand what these words mean or why they're important. So, here is some information that might be helpful for those looking for a natural solution for sunscreen.
Natural Escentials receives questions every day, but the majority of the ones regarding zinc oxide are the same – "Is your zinc oxide powder non-nano?" The reason this is important is because a nano particle will enter the blood stream but a non-nano will not. For this reason, non-nano is actually safer. Chemical sunscreens will enter the bloodstream and have been known to cause issues. Those trying to stay healthy the normal and natural way the body was created, need to avoid anything chemically induced from entering the body.
Nano comes from the Greek word "nanos" that means "dwarf." 1 nanometre = one billionth of a metre, meaning a nanoparticle is a particle smaller than 100 nanometers. Therefore a non-nano particle is larger than 100nm. This is why when making a homemade sunscreen using Natural Escentials' Zinc Oxide Powder, it remains a pure white color because it is not absorbed into the skin or into the blood stream.
Zinc Oxide Powder is a mineral that sits on top of the skin. It can stand alone as a sunblock because it is truly effective against UVA, UVB and even UVC rays. This is also why it makes a great diaper cream that is safe and effective for diaper rash. "People are loving the zinc oxide because it can be used on the whole family! Sunscreen for those needing protection from the sun's harmful rays, and diaper rash treatment for the little ones," says Julie Rose, Natural Escentials co-founder.
The concern with nano particles that are used in cosmetics is the threat of inhalation when they are used in powders and sprays. This is not a concern for those making sunscreen with zinc because it is put in a lotion or balm. Experts highly recommend a NANO based product over a chemical one for this reason.
Zinc Oxide Powder gives natural protection and helps keep the body free from harsh chemicals. This is why non-nano is a key factor when considering what to put on the body's largest organ, the skin.
