Description
Zinc oxide micronized and coated refers to zinc oxide particles that have undergone a micronization process to reduce their particle size and have been coated with inert materials, such as silicones or aluminum compounds. This coating improves the dispersibility and compatibility of zinc oxide in cosmetic and skincare formulations.
Use
Zinc oxide micronized and coated is utilized in various cosmetics and skincare products, including sunscreens, moisturizers, foundations, and tinted creams. It helps prevent sunburn, photoaging, and skin damage caused by UV radiation. The coating on the zinc oxide particles enhances the skin feel and reduces the risk of white cast often associated with traditional zinc oxide formulations.
Applications
Zinc oxide micronized and coated is incorporated into sunscreen formulations to provide UV protection and enhance the sun protection factor (SPF) of products. It is applied topically to exposed skin areas before sun exposure and should be reapplied regularly, especially after swimming or sweating, to maintain effective sun protection. The improved skin feel and reduced white cast make zinc oxide micronized and coated suitable for daily use in various skincare and cosmetic products.
