Description
Zinc Oxide – Non-Nano mineral white pigment, protective, purifying
Zinc oxide is a mineral compound in the form of a fine white powder, long used in cosmetic formulations for its ability to cover and protect the skin surface. It is a foundational ingredient in sun care, mineral makeup, products for sensitive skin, and formulations designed for areas frequently exposed to moisture or friction.
Due to its mineral nature and complete insolubility in water, zinc oxide remains on the surface of the skin, forming a physical protective layer with a mattifying and opaque covering effect. It is also one of the authorized UV filters in the European Union, listed in Annex VI of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
Ingredients (INCI): Zinc Oxide
Technical Characteristics
- Appearance: Fine powder, white color; practically odorless
- Solubility: Insoluble in water; insoluble in oils
- Quality: Pure zinc oxide conforming to the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.), non-nano particles
- Recommended Dosage: 1 - 25%
Scientific Documentation
According to the manufacturer's technical data sheet, this zinc oxide is obtained through a controlled manufacturing process (the indirect, "French" process) in compliance with European Good Manufacturing Practice (EU-GMP) guidelines and meets the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia for both pharmaceutical and cosmetic use.
From a regulatory standpoint, zinc oxide is authorized as a UV filter in European cosmetics, with a maximum permitted concentration of 25%.
Properties and Benefits
- White pigment with high covering power and opacifying effect
- Authorized ingredient as a UV filter in European cosmetics
- Mattifying effect, useful in formulations for oily or shine-prone skin
- Physical protective role for the skin surface, especially in areas exposed to moisture or friction
- Mildly astringent with a gentle skin-drying effect
Applications
- Mineral makeup: powders, foundations, compact products
- Creams for areas exposed to moisture and friction, for infants or adults
- Lotions and creams for sensitive or irritation-prone skin
- Formulations acting as UV filters, within the limits and conditions established by current cosmetic legislation
Formulation Guide
- Disperse in the oil phase or aqueous phase of the formula, depending on the product type; being insoluble, it requires good mechanical dispersion for homogeneity
- In emulsions, it is typically added to the oil phase
- When used as a UV filter, the actual protective efficacy (SPF rating) must be determined through standardized testing (ISO 24444) of the finished product; the zinc oxide concentration in the formula cannot be directly translated into an SPF value without this testing
- Compatible with most commonly used formulation ingredients; non-ionic emulsifiers and agents are preferred
- Does not provide transparency upon application
- Optimal pH value for the finished product ~7.0
Usage Safety and Storage
- Profile: Safe ingredient for cutaneous application
- Precautions: External cosmetic use; do not use in spray/aerosol formulations; avoid inhaling dust during raw material handling
- Storage: Store in a closed container in a cool, dry place, protected from light

I recommend it, I have great results, used it to make a cold cream deodorant. very fine, does not clump, does not irritate.
Very good, effective, easy to use, well packaged. We always enjoy the products we buy from Elemental
Ultra-pure grade zinc oxide, valued in cosmetics for its numerous skin benefits, acts as a physical UV filter, soothes the skin and promotes wound healing. No nanoparticles
I liked the effect of the zinc oxide when added to skin masks, it leaves it very velvety. It's also very good for sunscreen.
I LIKE IT A LOT.CALM THE SKIN VERY WELL, RELIEVES AND CUPEROZA.POATE BRING IN THE STORE AND A SUSPENSION OR PASTE THAT OFFERS MORE TRANSPARENCY AND REDUCES THE BLEACHING EFFECT.AR FI SUPER.
Very good,effective ,well packaged I use it in soaps ,scar creams and many other handmade products.
I have used zinc oxide in various variations of scar creams, usually along with marigold. I've gotten the expected scar healing effect
I used this ingredient for face powder. Very good, effective, easy to use. Very satisfied.
I used it to open the color of soaps but also for the benefits it has for the skin. It is qualitative, very fine, homogenizes easily in water.
I use it very often in cold process soap making to make it whiter. I am very satisfied!
Et produkt, der kan anvendes til mange formål. Jeg bruger det både som hvid farve og til hjemmelavet solcreme. Og så er prisen jo ganske fair.
Zinc controls the production of sebum, which prevents the formation of inflammation and blackheads, wounds and pimples heal faster!
For now I have used the zinc oxide to prepare a sunscreen and a foundation. Both preparations turned out well; the zinc oxide powder incorporated very easily and did its job. I am happy with this product.
I have used this ingredient in my foundation and I was surprised by the effect of this ingredient which is meant to reflect light. You can use it in highlighter with shea butter mixed is wow.
I introduced it in a cream foundation recipe, which I emulsified it with olive wax and it incorporated very well and has a very pleasant texture on the skin; in addition I added some oils with photoprotective properties and I use the foundation also for sun protection.
I use it successfully in creams for diaper rash. I have not yet tried it as a sunscreen because I am very satisfied with Essesol and have been using it for several years. But I will try a zinc oxide variant to see how it performs.
A very good product, useful in all sunscreen products. I like it a lot because I can use it quietly even in baby products.
I used zinc oxide in the preparation of the sunscreen cream with cocoa butter, unrefined shea butter and seeded catina oil. I got an extremely moisturizing cream and at the same time a cream with a mineral UV protective filter.
