Zinc Oxide, Micronized & Coated
Description
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
- Has soothing effects and can be used for skin irritations
- Has some antimicrobial properties
- Transparent look with minimal whitening effect
- Coated 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 therefore needs less or no neutralizers like TEA or NaOH
Use
To be dispersed into the oil phase of formulation. Typical use level when given alone 3-25%. For external use only.
Applications
Makeup products. Does not provide coverage in makeup due to its transparency. If coverage is needed use regular zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

Metallic zinc
Manufacture
Zinc oxide is produced from metallic zinc which is melted in a graphite crucible and vaporized at high temperatures (around 1000 °C). Zinc vapor reacts then with the oxygen in the air to give zinc oxide. The preparation of micronized (or nano-sized) zinc oxide is then carried out by the precipitation method where zinc salt solutions are reacted with alkali solutions.
