ZINC PURE 304D 100gr

(Zinc Oxide Powder) Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a powdered, oxidized zinc derived from the natural mineral, zincite, and is routinely used in a variety of consumer products.

Zinc oxide is used in a variety of cosmetic and personal care products including makeup, baby lotions, body soaps and foot powder. It is used as a bulking agent, dye, skin protector in over-the-counter (OTC) medicinal products and as a sunscreen.

When used in sunscreen products, ZnO acts as a physical barrier against the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation, helping to reduce or prevent sunburn and premature aging of the skin. Preventing sunburn is an important factor in reducing the risk of skin cancer. Zinc oxide is the widest spectrum of UVA and UVB reflectors approved for use as sunscreen by the FDA and experts in concentrations up to 25%. When used as a sunscreen agent, zinc oxide filters out UVA (320–400 nm) and UVB (280–320 nm) ultraviolet rays.
