Active zinc oxide cosmetic grade is widely used in sunscreens, makeup, and baby skincare products due to its excellent UV shielding, antibacterial, soothing, barrier repair, and non-toxic properties.
Active zinc oxide cosmetic grade has a large specific surface area and excellent UV shielding performance, effectively blocking 98% of UVA and UVB rays, preventing UV damage to the skin and reducing sunburn and tanning. It also has good antibacterial properties; some studies have found that when the mass fraction of active zinc oxide cosmetic grade is 1%, it can kill 98.86% of Staphylococcus aureus within 5 minutes, reducing acne and inflammation at the source, without drug resistance, and is gentle and non-irritating. Simultaneously, zinc ions can neutralize inflammatory mediators on the skin surface, inhibit inflammatory responses, and relieve discomfort such as redness, itching, and stinging. It also has a soothing effect on skin problems such as eczema, contact dermatitis, and insect bite dermatitis.
Furthermore, active zinc oxide cosmetic grade has a comfortable feel on the skin, appearing transparent upon application. It absorbs sebum secreted by the body, possessing anti-inflammatory and astringent properties, shrinking pores, and improving oily skin and enlarged pores, leaving the skin with a fresh, matte finish. Its gentle oil-controlling effect does not disrupt the skin’s water-oil balance, preventing dryness and sensitivity caused by excessive oil control.
Active zinc oxide cosmetic grade is commonly used in sunscreen products, such as sunscreens, sun lotions, and sun protection primers. It can be used alone as a physical sunscreen agent or, depending on needs, in combination with titanium dioxide to enhance sun protection while reducing white cast. Active zinc oxide cosmetic grade can also be added to sensitive skin repair products, providing soothing, anti-inflammatory, and barrier-repairing effects, relieving redness, stinging, and dryness in sensitive skin, while being gentle and non-irritating. In oil-control and acne-fighting products, active zinc oxide cosmetic grade can inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria, reduce acne breakouts, regulate sebum secretion, shrink pores, and improve oily skin and recurring acne problems. Adding active zinc oxide cosmetic grade to infant skincare products (such as baby face creams and diaper rash creams) can prevent skin problems like eczema and diaper rash in infants.
In short, active zinc oxide cosmetic grade is increasingly favored by the cosmetic industry due to its UV shielding properties, safety, and antibacterial properties.
