Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound that appears as a white powder that is insoluble in water. It is used as an additive in numerous materials and products including cosmetics, food supplements, rubbers, plastics, lubricants, ointments, pigments and foods. Although it occurs naturally as the mineral zincite, most zinc oxide is produced synthetically. Over 50% of the Zinc Oxide used is in the rubber industry used to produce products such as tyres and shoe soles. However, it is also used in many personal care and pharmaceutical applications due to its antibacterial and deodorizing properties including baby powder and sun creams. Our product and technical experts can help you formulate innovative products, meet new regulatory requirements, resolve formulation or supply challenges, and improve the formulated product cost.
