Zinc oxide is a UV filter: the protection factor of a product depends on its whole formula and the measurement method, not on a single ingredient, and no factor is promised here. Several studies are authored by industry, as the source list indicates.<\/p><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"sec\" id=\"concentrations\" aria-labelledby=\"h-c\"><div class=\"wrap dose\">\n  <div><h2 class=\"h2\" id=\"h-c\">Concentrations used in studies<\/h2><p class=\"lede\">No trial cited compares several concentrations in the same formula.

In CosIng, its functions are UV filter, UV absorber, colorant and skin protecting agent, among others.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is the difference between a mineral and an organic filter?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Mineral filters are inorganic oxides: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Organic filters are molecules such as avobenzone or octocrylene. Neither is \\\"better\\\" in itself: at 5%, zinc oxide protects better against long UVA than titanium dioxide, and each filter has its own regulatory entry and conditions.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Is nano zinc oxide allowed?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes, under conditions: entry VI\/30a, purity \u2265 96%, wurtzite structure, D50 > 30 nm, water solubility < 50 mg\/l, uncoated or coated with the listed silanes or dimethicone, and no application exposing the lungs. The name is followed by [nano] in the ingredient list. Nanomaterials used as regulated UV filters are exempt from the nanomaterial provisions of Article 16, unless otherwise specified.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can you use zinc oxide in a spray?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Entries VI\/30, VI\/30a and IV\/144 prohibit applications that may expose the lungs by inhalation. The text does not name sprays; the SCCS clarified the meaning of \\\"sprayable\\\" for nano forms. For any spray or loose powder, compliance is checked before launching the formula.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What percentage of zinc oxide should you use in a product?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The limit is 25% for the UV filter, standard and nano forms added together. The model UVA study uses 5%. The level depends on the use: UV filter, colorant or skin protectant. It is set with the formulator.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Does zinc oxide penetrate the skin?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"For sunscreen nanoparticles, the vast majority stay on the skin surface; most authors find no penetration into the living layers, with passage through damaged skin still to be studied. A 2017 review judges skin penetration of zinc oxide to be low.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What sun protection factor can you aim for with zinc oxide?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"No factor can be promised from a single ingredient. The factor depends on the formula tested and the method: spread between laboratories is greater than expected, and at 10-25% zinc oxide, the in vitro factor can underestimate the in vivo factor. It is measured on the finished product.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can you manufacture a zinc oxide product for my brand?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes.
