Zinc Oxides: Which One is Right for You?
Regular zinc oxide has a particle size of >200 nm, a visible whitening effect on the skin, is water dispersible, gives great coverage in makeup products and lip balms, and offers good protection in baby balm products.
*Please note that if you are creating your own sunscreen products for resale and are making a formal claim as to SPF protection you are required to adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by Health Canada and/or the FDA in regard to Sunscreen Regulations.
Z-COTE is a transparent zinc oxide. Z-COTE is a physical agent, so it sits on top of the skin and is not absorbed. Because of the way it is made, Z-COTE is actually transparent on the skin as opposed to the old-fashioned white zinc oxide paste, yet Z-COTE is even more effective.
I use zinc in my face cream to add some protection from the sun.
