Zinc oxide is a highly effective component
widely used in baby care products. Its anti-inflammatory properties
are generally well known in cosmetics and have been widely utilized
for decades in care creams. The advantages of zincoxide compared to
traditional UV filters are many and varied.
And –
in volume terms – the minutest of quantities are
sufficient in order to achieve the desired
effect.
Nevertheless, around 400 billion
nano zinc oxide particles measuring around
50
nm are applied to each cm2 of
a fabric weighing 100 g/m2. In
contrast to traditional UV filters, zinc oxide
is toxicologically harmless and generally highly
tolerable. There are no known allergies triggered by
zinc oxide.
