TIZO Ultra Zinc Face & Body SPF 40 is a mineral sunscreen from TIZO that delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection in a lightweight, hydrating formula built for sensitive, dry, and post-procedure skin. Zinc oxide at 20% serves as the sole active filter, a concentration high enough to offer serious sun protection without the irritation risk that comes with chemical UV filters. The formula is fragrance-free and blends seamlessly into skin without leaving a white cast, making it as practical for daily face use as it is for full-body protection.

Key Benefits

Broad-spectrum SPF 40 protection Zinc oxide at 20% sits at the top of the GRASE category as the highest-rated sunscreen filter recognized by the FDA, blocking both UVA aging rays and UVB burning rays by sitting on top of the skin rather than absorbing into it.

Antioxidant defense against free radicals Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a lipid-soluble form of vitamin C, and tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) work together to neutralize free radical damage triggered by UV exposure, extending the protective benefit beyond what SPF alone provides.

Photostable formula that holds up in sunlight Unlike many UV filters that degrade with sun exposure, this zinc oxide-based formula is photostable, meaning its protective efficacy does not break down when exposed to light.

Hydration that supports dry and compromised skin Glycerin draws moisture into the skin while a silicone-rich base of dimethicone and related ingredients forms a smooth, comfortable barrier that prevents transepidermal water loss, making this suitable as a daily moisturizer for face and body.

Water-resistant for 40 minutes The formula maintains its SPF protection for up to 40 minutes in water, making it a dependable choice for outdoor activity and warm-weather use.

If your skin is dry, easily reactive, or currently recovering from a procedure like a peel, laser, or microneedling treatment, this is the sunscreen built for you. Zinc oxide is a physical filter that sits on the surface of the skin rather than penetrating it, which means it is far less likely to cause stinging, flushing, or irritation compared to chemical UV filters. Sensitive skin types, including those prone to rosacea or contact sensitivity, will find this formula both effective and genuinely comfortable to wear daily.

This sunscreen is also an excellent choice for children's skin, and for anyone who has struggled to find a mineral SPF that does not leave a chalky residue. The silicone-forward formula blends cleanly into all skin tones. If you tend to skip sunscreen because it feels heavy or looks white on your skin, this formulation addresses both of those concerns directly.

For the most even, streak-free application on the face, warm the product between your fingertips for a few seconds before pressing and blending it into skin. The silicones in the formula respond well to body heat and will melt into skin more smoothly with this technique, which is especially helpful along the hairline and around the nose.

Prepare: Apply in the morning after cleansing, toning, and any serums or moisturizers.

Apply: Dispense a generous amount and spread evenly over the face and any exposed body areas. Do not rub until invisible before moving to the next section of skin.

Frequency: Use every morning as the final step in your routine. Reapply every 2 hours during sun exposure, and immediately after 40 minutes in water.
