    What is non-nano zinc oxide and can it be a natural SPF product which does not require OTC?

    Are there any natural SPF products which can have a claim of natural SPF without OTC?

    Sunscreens are OTCs so no, you can’t make an SPF claim without following the Sunscreen monograph.

    In Australia you can use up to SPF15 as a Secondary Sunscreen & you don’t have to go through all the drama.
