Formulation view Aqueous aloe base with zinc oxide for high coverage protection. Medium-chain esters and shea butter provide occlusion, while oat and calendula extracts soothe irritation. Preserved with sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate for infant safety. Note: high zinc oxide load creates texture; ester oils are crucial to prevent dry powder feel and ensure smooth spreadability.
