Z-Cote Zinc Oxide

Particle size (Contains agglomerates / aggregates of nanoparticles).

Z-Cote ZINCOXIDE:

• Hydrophilic (dispersible in water)
• Uncoated inorganic ingredient
• Recommended to easily disperse into an Oil in Water emulsions (typical of a "natural/homemade" lotion)

All Z-Cotes are microfine zinc oxides with a particle size of less than 0.2 microns (200 nm). As a result, these Z-Cotes are transparent, non-staining, non-greasy when applied to the skin by using them alone or mixing them in cosmetic formulas yet still offer both broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.

We recommend Z-Cote for sun protection. However, be reminded that if you make a formal claim as to SPF protection of a product which you sell, you are considered by the FDA to be selling an over-the-counter drug. The FDA would require you to conduct independent testing of your product to confirm the SPF rating which you are marketing.
