Product Info:
Zinc Oxide (Non-Nano) is a naturally occurring mineral widely used in cosmetic formulations for its broad-spectrum UV protection, skin-soothing, and antimicrobial properties. It is a physical sunscreen agent that sits on the skin's surface, providing effective protection against UVA and UVB rays without being absorbed. Non-nano Zinc Oxide is considered a safer option as it does not penetrate the skin barrier, making it ideal for sunscreens, baby care products, and sensitive skin formulations. It also helps to calm irritation, making it beneficial in skincare products for acne, diaper rash, and inflammation.
Formulation Guidelines:
- Best incorporated into oil-based formulations or emulsions.
- Requires proper dispersion to prevent clumping.
- Works well in sunscreens, barrier creams, and soothing skincare products.
- Can be combined with other UV filters for enhanced sun protection.
- Ensure proper stabilization in emulsions to prevent settling.
