DESCRIPTION

Technical data sheet: Zinc oxide

Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound that comes as a white or slightly yellow powder, insoluble in water. It is widely used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and sun care industries for its protective and soothing properties. It is also a key ingredient in physical sunscreens because it can block both UVA and UVB rays.

Benefits and properties
  • UV filter: effective as a physical sunscreen ingredient, providing broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection (SPF must be tested in the finished product).
  • Soothing and protective: helps soothe irritated-looking skin and protect it from external stressors.
  • Skin protectant: helps protect and comfort the skin.
  • Versatility: can be used in a wide range of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Recommended usage level
  • Sunscreens: 5 %–25 % (depending on the desired SPF)
  • Skin care: 1 %–20 %
  • Cosmetics: 1 %–10 %
  • Pharmaceutical: according to regulations and the specific formulation.
How to use and incorporate: Incorporation method
  • Oil or water phase: can be dispersed in the oil or water phase of the formulation depending on its use. It generally disperses well in oils.
  • Blending: ensure uniform dispersion in the formulation to avoid lumps and ensure performance.
Formulation tips:
  • The SPF and UVA protection of the finished product depend on the whole formula and can only be claimed after testing the final product.
  • Combine UVA and UVB filters and use film formers to improve water resistance.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility:
  • Compatible with a variety of ingredients, but may interact with certain strong acids or bases.
  • Stable over a wide pH range, especially in neutral-pH formulations.
Storage: Shelf life 36 months under proper storage conditions.
Precautions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep tightly closed and protected from light to prevent oxidation. Avoid inhaling the powder during handling.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
