Zano® and Xperse®
The Zano® portfolio consists of three different grades of zinc oxide powders that each have been designed the exhibit distinct tailored performance in UVB, UVA and transparency. As such, there is a Zano® grade that will cover the specific performance needs in designing sunscreen performance.

Zano® and Zano® Plus are safe UV filters, cGMP compliant and considered GRASE by the FDA in the 2019 proposed sunscreen monograph. Zano® filters are mild on the skin and have been tested to cause no irritation and sensitization. Zano® combines all other skin benefits of zinc oxide, such as anti-inflammatory and skin healing properties.
When used as single UV filter, the Zano® (Plus) products will each provide specific SPF, UVA and transparency levels that will all comply to international UVA regulations and broad-spectrum claims. SPF values of 30+ are easy to achieve and when designing SPF 50+ products, Zano® can be combined with different boosters or other UV filters.
