Zinc Oxide is Safe & Transparent UVA filter
Benefits
(1) UVA protection (2) Minimized skin irritation (3) Transparent formula
“Zinc oxide is a physical block that is
not absorbed, so it does not cause any

important to look for if you have
sensitive skin or are using sunscreens
on a daily basis.”
And unlike many chemical sunscreen
agents, zinc oxide is never irritating. In
fact, it is recognized by the Food and
Drug Administration as a Category I
skin protectant, meaning that it is safe
for compromised or environmentally
challenged skin.

Q2. Not stable in O/W formula
A. Generally ZnO is A common caution in formulating a ZnO-containing product is to avoid or to minimize the use of anionic emulsifier or thickener
considered not stable in O/W such as carbomers At pH values < 6, the solubility of zinc oxide increase and migration from the oil phase to water phase observed

oxide is well surface treated, For this reason, ZnO is usually incorporated into the oil phase of the formulation. Moreover these problems can be minimized or
almost there is no problem. eliminated by various means. Use of an optimized predispersion maintains the ZnO in a finely dispersed form in the oil phase. In
W/O emulsions, such dispersion techniques are sufficient to eliminate migration and efficacy of ZnO. ZnO can also be coated with
hydrophobic materials in order to reduce migration
Q3. Price too expensive as
