The FDA approved sunscreen agent in this product is the non-nano zinc oxide. However, every ingredient used in this formulation is considered a sunscreen. One ingredient, Red Raspberry Seed oil (Rubus idaeus) is known to contain a high level of EFA's (essential fatty acids) which research shows to be connected with reduction of the effects of oxidative stress in the body. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. It may aslo act as a broad spectrum UVA and UVB shield.  Of course, this statement has not been approved by the FDA.

Use these powerful little pots in your purse, backpack or pocket! Remember that sunscreen should not be your first defense against burning. Remember to reapply and apply often.
