This is a description of zinc oxide powder, which is non-nano and not absorbed through the skin. It is a great choice for adding to sunscreens, salves, lip balms, and mineral makeup formulations. It is soluble in oil, making it a good choice for adding to the heated oil phase or oil phase of formulations. Zinc oxide is easily dispersed into a water in oil emulsion, and is considered very gentle for the skin.
