Frequently Asked Questions:

How does Zinc Oxide provide sun protection?

Zinc Oxide works as a physical sunblock by sitting on top of the skin and reflecting, scattering, and absorbing UVA and UVB radiation. It provides immediate protection upon application without the need to wait for activation.

Micronized Zinc Oxide has smaller particle sizes that reduce whitening on the skin while maintaining UV protection. Regular Zinc Oxide provides more opacity and may leave a white cast, making it suitable for products where this characteristic is desired.

What is the difference between regular and micronized Zinc Oxide?

Zinc Oxide is challenging to use in spray formulations due to its tendency to settle and clog nozzles. Specialized dispersion techniques and suspension systems are required for successful incorporation into spray products.

Can Zinc Oxide be used in spray or aerosol formulations?

Yes, Zinc Oxide is considered one of the safest sunscreen ingredients and is suitable for daily use. Its excellent safety profile makes it ideal for children, sensitive skin, and long-term use.

Is Zinc Oxide safe for daily use?

Zinc Oxide should be properly dispersed in the oil phase using high-shear mixing. Pre-dispersion in oils or use of predispersed Zinc Oxide pastes can help prevent agglomeration and ensure even distribution in the final product.
