Nano Zinc Oxide

Description

Nano Zinc Oxide is a micronized form of zinc oxide engineered at the nanoscale to provide superior UV protection with improved transparency on the skin. Unlike traditional zinc oxide particles that leave a strong white cast, nano-sized zinc oxide disperses more evenly, allowing formulators to create elegant sunscreen products with minimal whitening.

It is a mineral UV filter that protects against both UVA and UVB radiation, making it a broad-spectrum sunscreen active. Zinc oxide is also known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it particularly suitable for sensitive skin, baby care, and dermatological products.

Because it is photostable and gentle, nano zinc oxide is widely used in physical sunscreen formulations and protective skincare products.

1. Broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection
