On the label it says it is produced from naturally occurring zinc ore & free from other metals. (Particle size <1000nm)

Synthetic most likely. It has a grainy finish, which I like as it resists scratches and feels nice.

I ordered this last year so I have no idea what's up with it saying spicy world, mine said nature's oil. It says that it is non nano not sure about it being coated. I used it in a DIY sunscreen so I hope it's safe. I've been happy with it.

No nano particles. From their website: Essential Depots Zinc oxide does not contain nano particles (defined as particles less than 100nm). Essential Depot particle size ranges from 108nm to 132nm. With an average particle size of 120nm. Essential Depot specifically selected its Zinc Oxide to have the ideal particle (uncoated) for sunscreen (Lowest whitening effects while still being safe).

The active ingredients are octinoxate 7.5% and zinc oxide 10.5%. Octinoxate is considering potentially harmful, while zinc oxide is considered safe. I suspect Obagi may have eschewed using only physical sunscreen blockers because they tend to go on white, while this absorbs quickly into the skin. I use it on my face only.

I believe it is synthetic. I bought it as a gift request for someone and had it sent directly! They liked it do much I ordered more for the. Never seen it myself.

Not 100% sure as I am traveling for a while and I do not have it with me but I am sure that it is paraben free which is great and I believe that active ingredients are Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide one 5 and one 10 percent.

Zinc oxide has Zinc oxide, mineral oil, white petrolatum and white wax. It isn't scented but smells like xinc oxide. I use it for helping skin to heal like a papercut or hangnail, to help draw an infection like a splinter you can't get out yet and then again after you get the splinter out and maybe a deep cut in a dry heel although there are better products for heels. My mother used it all her life and so have I.

Not knowing the answer, I checked the label and the only ingredient which could have been from an animal source. I called the company and they stated the zinc was not from an animal source. The product should be safe for vegetarians.

It's synthetic. Has a "tacky" feel that's easy to hold on to, but it inhibits a quick clean-up since it's white and gathers grime easily. It's a good product. No complaints.
