Description

Non-micronized Zinc Oxide is an inert non-organic product, insoluble in either oil or water, but rather will remain in suspension for long periods, however it will always, eventually ‘settle out’. Often used as a sunscreen and as a colourant in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Use at 1% to 5% in lotions etc.

The Zinc Oxide USP has a particle size of >99.99% passing through a 325 mesh sieve (44 microns). That means that more than 99.99 % of the particles will be smaller than 44 microns.

Zinc Oxide is used in cosmetics, as a pigment and a bulking agent (filler.) Commonly used in bath soaps, baby powders, diaper rash creams, baby lotions, ointments for burns, calamine lotion and mineral makeup applications. Zinc oxide soothes, protects and helps heal skin. Zinc Oxide is an anti-oxidant and can be used as a mild astringent and antiseptic to treat and relieve moist, painful and itchy skin conditions. It is commonly used in sunscreen formulations because it is able to absorb both UVA and UVB ultraviolet light.

  1. Good quality

  2. Great price, packaging and product! I use it in all my summer lipbalms, lotions, etc.

  3. I use this Zinc Oxide for some diaper cream that I made this morning and it is amazing! I was able to achieve the correct consistency of the cream when adding this. Can\’t wait until I make some sunscreen lotion in the next couple of weeks! This will definitely be a great addition to my product!

  4. I’ve used this product to make a cream foundation. I’m looking forward to make my own sunscreen and try it out in the summer!

  5. Great product and great price – would definitely recommend it for DIY sunscreen!

Q & A

Hi, what is the usage rate of Zinc Oxide - for use in CP soap as a colorant? Thanks Danielle asked on April 27, 2023

Usage Instructions:
Melt and Pour soap mix one teaspoon with one tablespoon of 99 percent isopropyl alcohol. Add 1/4 tsp. of dispersed pigment at a time to the melted soap.
Cold Process soap, mix one teaspoon with one tablespoon of lightweight oil. Add one tsp. of dispersed pigment at a time to the melted soap. Not recommended for lotion or bath bombs.
The higher usage may result in chalky soap, and it is recommended to use it at a lower rate and increase as needed. This disperses easily in water to give a smooth opaque colour.
