This zinc oxide powder offers 8 ounces of 100% purity material, classified as non-nano and uncoated, making it a suitable ingredient for DIY sunscreen formulations. The powder is cosmetic grade, meaning it meets standard quality requirements for external use in personal care products. As a mineral UV filter, it provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB radiation when properly incorporated into a sunscreen base.

The non-nano particle size ensures that the zinc oxide remains on the surface of the skin rather than being absorbed, which is a key characteristic for those seeking a physical sun protection option. The uncoated nature of the powder allows for easier mixing with carrier oils, butters, or other ingredients in custom sunscreen recipes. This property also makes it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin, as there are no additional coatings or chemical additives that might cause irritation.

This zinc oxide powder is suited for home crafters, formulators, and anyone looking to create their own sunscreen lotions, balms, or creams. It works well in both water-based and oil-based formulations, though proper dispersion techniques are recommended to achieve an even application. The 8-ounce quantity offers a practical supply for multiple batches.

The absence of nano particles contributes to a more opaque white finish on the skin, typical of natural mineral sunscreens. Users should be aware that this raw material requires proper handling and mixing to avoid clumping and to ensure uniform coverage. It is not intended for direct application to the skin without being blended into a finished product. This zinc oxide powder provides a reliable, straightforward ingredient for those who prefer to control the ingredients in their sun protection products, supporting a transparent and customizable approach to daily sun care.
