Product Info:
Zinc Oxide (Nano) is a high-performance UV filter used in sunscreens and cosmetic formulations to provide broad-spectrum sun protection. Its smaller particle size allows for better transparency on the skin, making it ideal for lightweight and non-whitening sun care products. Despite its nano size, it remains a physical sunscreen agent, reflecting and scattering UV rays without chemical absorption. It is also known for its soothing, antimicrobial, and protective properties, making it beneficial in skincare products designed for sensitive, acne-prone, or irritated skin.
Formulation Guidelines:
- Disperse well in oil-based formulations or emulsions.
- Requires proper stabilization to prevent aggregation.
- Works well in sunscreens, lightweight creams, and daily wear formulations.
- Can be combined with other UV filters for enhanced sun protection.
- Ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines on nano-sized ingredients in cosmetics.
