ZinClear™ IM Zinc Oxide Dispersions are a breakthrough technology for sun protection applications.  Their distinct particle structure allows for excellent transparency in a micron-sized particle -- transparency that can't be matched by even nano-sized particles.  ZinClear™ IM products provide full-spectrum coverage from ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB), and provides high SPF ratings without the need for chemical UV absorbers.
