INCI: Zinc oxide

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.

Great price great product

If you're looking for affordable pure zinc oxide this is this one. I've been using it on my long lasting perioral dermatitus and it's helped sooo much as it's pure Zinc without any funnies. Run , don't walk to get this . You can even use it on your breakouts as a spot treatment

Trust in Products

I am a Beekeeper and I use the Beeswax I collect to produce Lip Balm, Body Butters and Lotion bars. It is imperative that any and all the ingredients I put into my products be Natural, Safe and from a verified source as the effectiveness of these products and my reputation depends on it. The products from Essentially Natural all meet these criteria. The Zink Oxide is an essential, natural, physical barrier to UV that I add to my Lip Balm. Fantastic product! Further more - I find all the "ingredients" I require for my products in one place and well priced. Fantastic service.

I added the zinc oxide to a cream base, after a day i noticed it turned to be hard, and there was a separation. How should i use the zinc oxide?

Hi Kitso, how much zinc oxide and how much cream base did you use? You are welcome to email us about your product so we can try advise further

Great value for money

I bought some to mix with titanium dioxide and a base cream following your instructions on the website, only omitted adding any oils. I'm so glad I did! No harmful chemicals, not oily, affordable, and will last a long time. Thanks so much! Your website is great and I will keep ordering from you.

Working with zinc oxide has been great. It's perfect in sunscreens, deodorants, balms and all manner of natural products. I've found it particularly helpful for acne. The price is also fantastic. Just don't do what I did and forget to wear a mask when working with it! 🌻
