Raw material source: Metallic zinc. Farnesene (or C13-15 alkane) is derived from renewable Brazilian sugar cane sources.

Manufacture: Zinc oxide is produced from metallic zinc which is melted in a graphite crucible and vaporized at high temperatures (around 1000 °C). Zinc vapor reacts then with the oxygen in the air to give zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is then dispersed in Farnesene and stabilizers.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested

GMO: Not tested
