SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: ANO, a manufacturer of zinc oxide powders for sunscreens, has launched its sustainable “EcoZinc” — ZinClear XP Powder, which is 100% powered by the sun. The company is installing more solar panels to increase its green energy production and intends to charge a 20% premium for this product.

The EcoZinc powder has been warmly received by ANO’s distributors and customers, who are looking for safer and more eco-friendly alternatives to UV chemical filters, which are under review by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for their safety and effectiveness.
