Key actives
Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Zinky , Moisturiser with Zinc Oxide
Source: From product name
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, heptyl undecylenate.
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
An oil from a mixture of different vegetables. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
Helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss from the skin surface over time and create a nice product finish
Helps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin
An emollient that does not leave a greasy finish
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Abundant in anti-aging nutrients including Oleic Acids, Linoleic Acids, Squalene, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and beneficial minerals.Contains approx 25% Zinc Oxide

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - magnesium aluminum silicate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and, when combined with zinc carbonate and malonic acid, reducing fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating elastin production. Also helps stabilize the product formulation
Anti-blemish
What does the product description say?
Soothing for even the most sensitive of skins, Zinky is lightweight and acts as an astringent, targeting blemishes with a natural healing effect on the skin. Nourish and Protect daily with Zinky!
