FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What is Nanomineral ZnO?
Nanomineral ZnO is a nano-engineered form of Zinc Oxide (ZnO), designed for advanced performance in personal care formulations, especially sunscreens. The nano-sizing enables finer dispersion, improved clarity, and better UV alignment without compromising skin protection.
2. What is Zinc Oxide and why is it used in skincare and sunscreens?
Zinc Oxide is a naturally derived mineral utilized for its broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, gentle anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and soothing effects in formulations such as sunscreens, powders, calamine lotions, and acne-care products.
3. How does Nanomineral ZnO differ from conventional Zinc Oxide?
While retaining all the benefits of traditional Zinc Oxide, NanoMineal ZnO offers:
Transparency and minimal white cast, improving aesthetic appeal in formulations
Even dispersion and smoother sensory experience
Maintained or enhanced UV protection with lower visible residue
Studies indicate nano ZnO is both safe and effective as a UV filter, comparable in function to its micro-sized counterparts.
4. What are the benefits of incorporating NanoMineal ZnO into formulations?
Broad-spectrum UV protection as a physical blocker.
Improved clarity and texture in sunscreens, creams, and makeup.
Gentle and suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types.
Antimicrobial and calming action ideal for comfort in daily skincare.
5. In which types of products is NanoMineal ZnO most effective?
Optimal applications include:
High-performance sunscreens (creams, lotions, sprays).
Daily moisturizers and tinted SPF products.
Makeup and mineral powders (foundations, compact powders).
Soothing treatments for sensitive or irritated skin.
6. What are the CAS Number and INCI Name of Zinc Oxide?
CAS Number: 1314-13-2
INCI Name: Zinc Oxide (also CI 77947 when used as a pigment)
Nanomineral ZnO retains these same identifiers for compliance, with its nano character noted in technical documentation.
7. Is NanoMineal ZnO safe for topical use?
Yes. Reviews show that nano zinc oxide shows minimal skin penetration—typically less than 0.01%—and is widely considered safe when used within regulated limits.Regulatory entities, including the EU’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), confirm its safety at concentrations up to 25% in cosmetics.NanoMineal ZnO offers the same safety profile when properly formulated.
8. How do formulators incorporate NanoMineal ZnO into products?
Add during the emulsion or oil phase with gentle dispersion techniques.
Homogenization ensures even distribution and optimal UV protection.
Typical usage ranges between 2–25%, depending on product type and SPF goals.
9. Which skin types benefit most from NanoMineal ZnO?
All skin types benefit, especially:
Sensitive or reactive skin due to the gentle mineral nature
Those concerned with white cast—nano dispersion improves cosmetic appeal
Everyday skincare routines with UV protection and calming effects
