Zinc Oxide Powder - Non Nano - 1KG

Zinc Oxide Powder is a non-nano, non-coated mineral powder used in mineral makeup, lip products, salves, and sunscreen-style formulations. It is valued for its gentle skin feel and for how well it disperses into oil phases when mixed correctly. This is a fine powder ingredient rather than a finished balm or cream, so it needs to be incorporated into a suitable formula before use.

It should be handled carefully to reduce inhalation risk. Why we love it: We choose to stock Zinc Oxide Powder because it is one of those versatile mineral staples that can support many different DIY categories, from colour cosmetics to barrier-style balms. The non-nano, non-coated profile also makes it a practical choice for ingredient-led making.
