Zinc Oxide
Non-Coated, USP Grade
A high-quality, non-nano, non-coated zinc oxide powder suitable for a wide range of cosmetic and personal care formulations. USP grade and cosmetic safe, this zinc oxide is valued for its soothing properties, natural opacity, and ability to provide effective broad-spectrum UV reflection when professionally formulated and tested.
Commonly used in balms, nappy creams, mineral makeup, and cold-process soap, zinc oxide offers excellent whiteness and coverage. Its mild astringent and calming characteristics also make it popular in products designed for sensitive or irritated skin.
This uncoated version disperses best into oil-based formulations and contributes a natural white colour, helping to even skin tone and add opacity.
Important: This zinc oxide is not approved for use in homemade sunscreens unless the final product has undergone SPF testing. For more information, see our blog post: Why You Shouldn’t Make Your Own DIY Sunscreen
