Raw Elements Tinted Daily Face Moisturizer – Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

This everyday tinted mineral sunscreen provides broad-spectrum SPF protection using non-nano zinc oxide, while hydrating the skin with plant-based, antioxidant-rich ingredients. The tint helps even out skin tone without feeling heavy, making it ideal for daily wear.

Ingredients:
Active: Non-Nano Zinc Oxide (23%)

Inactive: Organic Green Tea Extract, Organic Black Tea, Organic Coffee Bean Extract, Organic Hemp Seed Oil, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Mango Butter, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Beeswax, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Rosemary Extract, Iron Oxides (for tint).

What I like:

  • Non-nano zinc oxide (23%) offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection without concerns about nanoparticle absorption.

  • Naturally tinted with iron oxides to help even skin tone and reduce white cast.

  • Made with nourishing botanicals, including mango butter, cocoa butter, sunflower oil, and hemp seed oil, for moisturizing benefits.

  • Contains antioxidant-rich extracts (green tea, black tea, coffee) to help defend against free radical damage.

  • Reef-safe, biodegradable, and certified natural.

  • Free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, dyes, and chemical UV filters.

  • Gentle option for sensitive skin, pregnancy, and breastfeeding due to the use of non-nano zinc oxide.

  • EWG hazard rating is a 2.

Things to keep in mind:

  • The formula is thicker than conventional chemical sunscreens; warming it between fingers before applying helps with spreadability.

  • The tint is subtle and may not match all skin tones — it blends best on light to medium tones.

  • May leave a slight sheen due to the rich butters and oils.

  • Contains beeswax, so it isn’t suitable for strict vegans.

  • Zinc formulas can transfer onto clothing if applied heavily.
