TITANIUM DIOXIDE AND ZINC OXIDE--These active ingredients in Mexitan SPF sunscreen lotions are natural minerals derived from clay and beach sand deposits; they are not harsh synthetically-produced chemicals. Both are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as sunscreens. Zinc oxide has been used worldwide for over 75 years as a safe blocking agent to prevent excessive sun exposure. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb ultraviolet light, Mother Nature has provided titanium dioxide and zinc oxide which remain on the skin to reflect and scatter both UVA and UVB rays away from the body--forming a physical barrier shield, without irritating or clogging the pores.

The natural mineral sunblock, on certain skin types when applied heavily, may leave a mild white appearance, providing the comfort that it remains on the surface of your skin where you need the protection. The SPF 50 is our most concentrated lotion and it leaves a more visible white shield on your skin than the SPF 8, SPF 15, or SPF 30 formula. Mexitan SPF 8 Lotion contains 2.5% zinc oxide and 2.5% titanium dioxide. Mexitan SPF 15 Lotion contains 3.5% zinc oxide and 3.5% titanium dioxide. Our SPF 30 Lotion contains 6% zinc oxide and 6% titanium dioxide, and Mexitan SPF 50 contains 22.5% zinc oxide and 6% titanium dioxide.

As with all sunscreen lotions, re-apply frequently and after swimming, perspiring, or towel-drying. If you notice any flaking or crumbling after application, you may have applied the lotion too heavily and this is excess lotion that can be brushed off... the UV protection is still there. For best results, apply in moderate amounts so it will rub in well.

The titanium dioxide and zinc oxide used in Mexitan is micronized (NOT nanoparticles), with a coated variable particle size greater than 200nm but less than 500nm (Nanoparticles are considered to be less than 100nm). This allows our sunscreen lotions to be more cosmetically appealing compared to coarser particles. The protection is less visible, yet remains on the skin's surface.
