No, there is not a sunscreen in this version. However, they do make one with a sunscreen in it. Olay Total Effects Touch Of Foundation SPF 15 37ml (Medium)

I chose this brand because it was recommended by DR. OZ because I believe the ingredients are non toxic. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are the active ingredients. They provide a clear sunscreen due to the active ingredients as opposed to other more toxic white sunscreens that are actually just a white reflective coating for your skin. I have used this on my face for well over a year and highly recommend it.

Sorry it took us so long to answer this question Uma.. Just didn't see it til now. Anyway, to answer your question. Yes, this is highly concentrated (20% by total weight zinc oxide with ayurvedic botanical boosters) MINERAL BARRIER protection which is the most recommended form of broad spectrum (covers all UV spectrums) available. Thanks for asking! Deb (CEO Teva Skin Science)

No it does not. No sunscreen and it does state a warning that it does not protect against sunburn. also for external use only.

I made some sunscreen for my daughter, using coconut oil...and 3 scoops of Zinc powder....and it wound up being SPF35 so yes. It's 10spf...maybe even a bit more...but not much

Thanks for your question Jim, if you'll look at the ingredient label again, you'll see that ZO is the 4th ingredient from the top. As you probably know, by FDA and INCI mandates, ingredients must be listed from greatest to least. We use 20% Zinc Oxide by weight in this formula (actually just a tad over but we won't split hairs :) The full spectrum iron oxide is there for both synergistic UV protection (as is the carrot seed oil right next to it up the list from the bottom) and also gives this formula it's characteristic light tan color for without being staining.

Hi, some is micronized but if you are looking for SPF protection you need to add more of the zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. The micronized zinc oxide and titanium dioxide will give SPF protection but not coverage. If you need more coverage then we recommend to use regular zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

Invalid question, this is the only product that has the zinc oxide. This blocks all of the suns UVA & UVB rays, which damage sensitive skin. This sun screen must be reapplied during the day, but it is worth it if you have sensitive skin.

I see nothing in the inactive or active ingredients that states it has nano-particles. It is a smooth light cream with Zinc Oxide 9 and Octinoxate 7.5%. Having had skin cancer on my face 15 years ago, I have used sunscreen diligently always with Zinc Oxide in it as recommended by my dermatologist. Tried this just this summer and really like the light feel. Hope this helps.

Titanium is 4% and zinc is 5%. I have really sensitive skin and this doesn't make me break out. You do need to reapply throughout the day if you are planning on being outside in the sun for a long time. It's lightweight and not greasy and more importantly - it's not thick and doesn't take forever to 'sink' in. Hope this helps.

It does leave a white residue. I haven't found a zinc sunscreen that doesn't. It does make a great "base" if you wear foundation, though :)

Yes it is. The main sun protective ingredient in this formula is zinc oxide which blocks both radiations. Plus it has minerals that aid in this as well, though much further down the ingredient list. I use this on my face. I find it needs to be reapplied, but that's what Dr.s want you to do anyway.

Label on bottle says: "Broad Spectrum SPF 30+, Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide Formula, Paraben Fre, Chemical Free, Fragrance Free"Hope that helps. I'm not sure what you mean by "nano" zinc oxide.

I think so. The one for sensitive skin has zinc, a physical screen, and another one which is a chemical screen. The regular version has all chemical screens. Looking at the box I have, it seems to be equipped with broad spec. :)

I think what your asking about is how the sunscreen blocks the sun. A physical barrier usually contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. They stay on the skin and block suns rays. A chemical barrier uses chemicals such as Avobenzone and Oxybenzone in its mix. These chemicals then are absorbed by the skin and block the suns rays. The Neutrogena product your looking at has the chemical products.

Titanium dioxide and zinc oxcide. Both physical sunscreens. So it's ok for even sensitive skin. I am a skin therapist and even recommend this to some of my clients. Hope I helped :)
