NANO TECHNOLOGY

NANO TECHNOLOGY

There is a major concern lately about the Nano Particles used in sunscreens like zinc and titanium dioxide. As we know nanoparticles increase the effectiveness of sunscreen products but can they penetrate into the skin and cause DNA damage?
The term nanoparticle is generally used to refer to a small particle with all three dimensions less than 100 nanometres.

Alexami is using only ingredients that are proven to be safe. We do not use Micronized Zinc Oxide in our products!

For more information on Nano-Technology read an article published by the Environmental Working Group:
