Features and usage areas: POWDER-Transparent Non-Nano Zinc Oxide (COSMOS ECOCERT) MicNo® ZnO UV-Filter is a special zinc oxide formulation used in cosmetic and personal care products. Particles larger than 100 nanometers remain on the skin surface, ensuring safer use. It does not clog pores, making it safe for acne-prone skin. It is a white, fine powder. It can help reduce free radical damage on the skin. It provides broad-spectrum sun protection by blocking both UVA and UVB rays. As a natural mineral, it is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Its usage areas include sunscreens, skin care products, wound healing ointments, and treatments for eczema and dermatitis. Since it has COSMOS and ECOCERT certificates, it is formulated in accordance with organic and natural cosmetic standards. This indicates that it complies with environmental and health standards and meets certain quality criteria.

Physical Structure: It is in the form of a very fine, evenly dispersed powder. This effectively disperses UV rays, optimizing its skin protection function. The physical structure of zinc oxide contains micronized particles that physically block UV rays and form a protective barrier on the skin.

Recommended pH range: No pH adjustment is made in formulations using zinc oxide.

Solubility: Zinc oxide is generally an insoluble component in water. This property allows zinc oxide to be used in particle form in cosmetic products and to provide effective protection on the skin surface. It may show limited solubility in some organic solvents. However, in cosmetic products, the solubility in these solvents usually does not play a major role in product formulation, as zinc oxide is mostly preferred to be used in dispersed or coated form.

Function: It functions as a broad-spectrum UV filter. It allows for effective UV protection without leaving a white residue on the skin. It protects the skin as a protective barrier. It helps treat acne and other skin conditions.

Recommended usage rate: A rate of 5-25% is generally preferred for zinc oxide to be used as an effective UV filter. This rate provides a sufficient amount to increase the sun protection factor (SPF) of the product. In skin care products for acne, eczema or other skin problems, zinc oxide is generally used at a rate of 1-10%. These rates are suitable for providing soothing and healing effects on the skin. If zinc oxide is used as a pigment in cosmetic products, a rate of 1-5% is preferred. These rates increase the color and coverage properties of the products. In products used for skin protection and soothing, the rate of zinc oxide should generally be between 1-5%.
