Zinc Oxide, Micronized & Coated

Zinc Oxide, Micronized & Coated is a USP grade 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. Reflects sunlight (UVB rays). 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 needs therefore less or no neutralizers like TEA or NaOH.
