| Description: | Zinc oxide that consists of approximately 98% micronized zinc oxide and 2% hydrophobic coating material (silicone derivative). Derived from natural zinc ore, super-finely micronized. Particle size <200 nanometer (<0.2 micrometer), mean particle size 86 nanometer. |
| Benefits: | Reflects sunlight (UVB rays)Has soothing effects and can be used for skin irritationsHas some antimicrobial propertiesTransparent look with minimal whitening effectCoated zinc oxide is more compatible with acrylate-based thickeners (e.g. carbomer) than non-coated zinc oxide, because it has alkaline properties in formulations and needs therefore less or no neutralizers like TEA or NaOH |
| Use: | To be dispersed into the oil phase of formulation. Usually combined with organic sunscreens, typical use level 3-6% when combined with organic sunscreens, use level when given alone 3-25%. For external use only. |
| Applications: | Sun care products, makeup products. Does not provide coverage in makeup due to its transparency. If coverage is needed use regular zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. |
