Zano 20 PlusSurface (INCI: Zinc Oxide (and) Triethoxycaprylyl silane) is a treated zinc oxide that offers high levels of transparency, while still offering sufficient UVA protection to pass international UVA guidelines and criteria; critical wavelength of 371 nm.

Zano 10 PlusSurface (INCI:  Zinc Oxide and Triethoxycaprylyl silane) is a treated zinc oxide that offers a balance between high broad-band UV protection and transparency; critical wavelength of 373 nm.

Zano M PlusSurface (INCI:  Zinc Oxide (and)Triethoxycaprylyl silane) is a treated zinc oxide that offers high levels of UVA protection and provides a critical wavelength of 385 nm, while maintaining good transparency.

Ultra Chemical also recently distributed Assure+ (INCI: Pongamia Pinnata Seed Extract), a high purity extract that was recently shown to boost properties of SPF and UVA-PF by 20-40%. According to EverCare, Assure+ also increases both SPF and UVA-PF values when used in mineral only and hybrid sunscreen formulations.
